ok so this is going well so far on ideas. We could swing around the akron for the top parking deck at the university, i park there everyday and its sexy to get some shots at the right time of day. anyways, my buddies dad is a manager at summit so ill have a talk with him on some stuff. cole ill keep in touch with you on facebook on stuff to be prepared. norwalk is probably 45 minutes for me so thats no problem. Cedar Point would make for a fun time. umm so i guess ill have a talk with my buddies dad and see what he has to say about things.

I didn't read this whole thread, but I thought I'd throw in my .2 cents anyways.
Large meets like this just don't work anymore. The days of GPG's and IDD's are over for this community unfortunately. The companies aren't pouring money into this dead platform anymore, grand prix's can be had for a fraction of the cost now a days.............. Instead of prestine beautiful cars, you get cars with peeling paint and faded bumpers..
It's sad, but true. The "community" isn't what it used to be. More and more teenagers with 100K+ grand prixs. Hardly any of us "old timers" are still around that continue to own and modify this platform.
Either way, I wish you guys luck in this en devour. I've had A LOT of fun out in Norwalk with the grand prix crowd. Hope you guys can muster up enough people and enjoy the same good times.
Just read that the iron fist of Nick will swipe any posts that don't meet his criteria of positive and informative, so I fully expect this to be deleted by morning.

10-20-2011

I know it's not exactly a grand prix event but the regal group piggybacks on a national buick meet at Norwalk which has been dubbed Regal Madness for a few years now. You guys could probably coordinate with the ones who set that up and we could have a huge Wbody turnout. It's scheduled for June 15, 2012. It's a 3 day event and discount rates at a local hotel are always available. Pricing varies depending on number of days you stay.
It may not be your perfect GP meet but it would be a heck of a lot easier to setup, management would be simple as well and you know they'll be at least 20 wbodys showing up at the minimum. It's a good time, I went for the first time this past summer.

10-20-2011

Good idea but it's not necessary, we have our own Pontiac Nationals at Norwalk every year. Save time, energy, and money, and just do a big meet / turnout at Pontiac Nationals!! We used to have a HUGE setup at Norwalk, two big tents, a BBQ, at least 6-8 tents in our area alone.
If you coordinate with Pontiac Nationals, everyone has to pay the entrance fee, but that's it. You try to do your own "GPG", you're looking at $100's of dollars in expenses for track rentals, etc, etc.

Tried this...
GPG is owned and god help anyone if they try to use it.
Ask me how I know....almost got sued.
10-21-2011
"GPG" is owned, I understand that. I was just using it to describe your "ohio grand prix meet".
Just base it off of Pontiac Nationals, don't re-invent the wheel.
10-21-2011
I know, it was a statement fer the new people that haven't been in the game that long that probably just didn't know.
10-21-2011
I was not aware of this, when does it take place?
