Rhino13 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Diego just reminded me that I had mentioned setting up a meet for all of the locals around Eugene and Springfield. I will be stopping to talk to Jeremy at Joe's trailers in Springfield to follow up on possibly having a meet at their shop, but would like to make it happen either way sometime in February or March. I'm assuming weekends work for most people so we'll shoot for that, but I want some input on what people think is best! My days off are Tuesday and Wednesday but I can easily get a day off if we were to plan a fun run earlier in the day then all meet up somewhere for anyone that can't make the fun run. I also want some input on places I could potentially put a flier at least a month in advance. I know Brooke's Cut Rate Auto will gladly put one up, and I'll talk to auto parts stores but I have a feeling knechts might be the only one to accept. I see Datsun's all over this area that are definitely not on Ratsun to see this, so I want to get the word out by hand! This is my first time trying to plan an event like this so any input on ways to get the word out, places to go for a fun run, places for potential meets, and possible small giveaways like Al was doing. Let's make this happen!!! 3 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yay, I got good relations with our West 11th Napa and O'Reillys store clerks, it shouldn't be a problem to put up fliers there, let me know when you got them and I'll take them there :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Post on Craigslist. Al had good success getting Datsun folks to show up from there. 2 Quote Link to comment
Dream510 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 A meet in eugene/Springfield would be some cool shit! 1 Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 If you book them they will come :) Harbor Freight area would be good too.. Or Knechts on River Rd. Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Alton Baker Park is an option also... Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Didn't even think about Craigslist, do you know where he posted an ad at? I know some people might look at the events section, but it might even be worth putting one in the for sale section so more people see it. Once I get back from vacation I'll make a flier and post it up to see what you guys think. If we all agree it's good I'll print a bunch and give them to a few of you guys to take into the places you have connections, or places that you think will hang them. Cesar, do you think we could put one at your dad's tire shop? And maybe Jared could hang one at metalworks? My only concern with Alton Baker is if we did it on a weekend, we'd have up make sure there's nothing going on at Autzen or it'd be really packed all over that area. If we can find a weekend free that would be a really cool spot though, it's one of the nicest parks in the area. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dream510 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm sure my dad would be cool with it, do you think there's enough parking space in the front? Maybe we could even park in the back if we need more space! Quote Link to comment

HOGIE Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Window fliers for parked cars? I know of quite a few Datsuns around town that could just receive a flier in the window, done The only people at my work who dig Datsuns are on Ratsun. They all have their own domestic bias I like Saturday during the afternoon, better lighting in the oics. Oics at night meets have shitty lighting, sorry Loren 4 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 You just need a better camera for night shots. But yes agreed^^ Quote Link to comment
Dream510 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm sure he'd be cool with fliers too. I'd love to spread some fliers around if you guys need any help. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Mojo510 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm down for a meet with you guys, I'll see how many guys I can round up and get group going. :thumbup: Steve Pepka DNW Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 All I can say is.. shoot for March. I need as much time as I can get to put this motor back together! Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Stop dragging your feet, Craig!!!!! :poke: I still need to get the bulk of my datto stuff from the storage....meh...moving doesn't end....hopefully I can get my dogleg in for rebuilding and do the swap before Canby, I really dislike the 4 speed on the freeway....75mph@4100rpms hurts my ears after an hour :( Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's out of my control. You need to get that 4 speed out of there! What's wrong with the dogleg again? bearings? 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Not sure what's going on inside that thing, when I turn the input shaft in neutral it spins freely as it should, when I put it in gear it locks up....in any gear. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Bring it over and lets pop it open!! 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Kool, thanks! It'll be few weeks though, this coming weekend I'm only going to be home 1 day and the following I want to move my storage stuff home....we can have a mini work party, pop that thing open to see what's up and work on your datto....maybe have our ladies mingle if your girl is up for it :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Lets make it happen 1 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yo Rhino. Have you gone back to talk to Jeremy? 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have not, I've been really busy at work and every time I've been leaving they're already closed. If I get off early enough sometime next week I'll drop in and see if he's talked with his boss. 1 Quote Link to comment
