Giant Ecotec Meet!!!

Hello everyone. I know that none of you over here know me at all, seeing as how I just signed up today lol, but i just wanted to tell you about a huge meet that will be coming up on April 19th. The plans are still being thrown together as we speak, but this will be our 5th gathering in Columbus, and the turnout gets better and better each time!

As posted on MidWestEcotec.com
It is time!!!!..... to start thinking/planning the annual Spring Cobalt meet in Columbus, Ohio. This tradition began on CobaltSS . net on April 22 nd , 2006 with roughly 15 cars and has continued every April and October since. I know not everyone is on .net. I am trying to organize a multi-forum meet this year and will be hosting the main info thread on cobaltss . net and will post a link to the thread ASAP. I am also dedicating an email address; ohio.cobalt.meet@gmail.com to the planning and coordination of this year's event so I can easily keep track of those intending to come. ***PLEASE*** understand that this is the only way I can keep track of everyone on all the forums, only email me once please. Include in the email your name (first name and last initial), location, and car year/model/color. This will help keep a running tally on the forums and with planning caravans and just provide some fun info the types of cars coming. Any make and model is welcome, bring your friends and their rides as well!!!!! Last October's meet had near 50 cars total. Now to the fun stuff



Where: Sharon Woods Park, Columbus, Ohio (will post a map of the area soon)
When: April 19th, 1pm - ?

We'll meet in the park starting at 1pm and hang out as everyone shows up. Later in the day it has been tradition to go to Quaker Steak & Lube for food and drink and if weather permits, go to Magic Mountain for go-karting. Before we go to eat, there is always a huge group photo.

***Email me at ohio.cobalt.meet@gmail.com to be added to the list. This is the only way to be included in the planning.***
These meets were originally designed for owners of the Cobalt to get together and meet each other, but has since become a meet for ECOtec enthusiasts. Even if your car is not an ECOtec powered vehicle, you can still feel free to come along, last year we had a supercharged Explorer and a few Civic Si's lol. JonyyB was able to make it to the most recent one this past October, and he can vouche for the good time had by all. I can only hope that some of you will make an effort to come out, it promises to be a good time!!

Here is a video slideshow of our last meet.

I'm glad that some of you are showing interest. These meets are predominantly filled with Cobalts, so having some HHR's there would be an AWESOME change of pace. Anyone else interested in going?
