Hey everyone,

We (canadianlimey and Waldorf) are hoping to hold a Nitro meet next year and are trying to find out how many people would be interested in attending. More than likely it will be in or around the Niagara Falls area. Having it there means easy access for the Ontario, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Pensylvania members (hey that means you dk). Obviously all members are welcome to attend.
This is only in it's early stages of thought and nothing has been set in stone so any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Graham & John.

Great Idea guys. I think I cannot be present with my Nitro, but you never know... Perhaps we can set up another meeting in Europe later. Keep us updated please. Good luck!

hey Dutch,
why can't you be there? Is there an ocean between us or something? :wavey:

I think Walgreen is better. Green with envy about our Orange nitro's..

no way! I love my electric blue thank-you very much! That's why they give us a colour choice so that people like me can say I'm glad I didn't get "THAT" colour! :Na_Na_Na_Na:

well the wife already agreed, when do you guys plan on it? I think during the middle of july would be great since pretty much everybody gets time off around that time of the year, and even if I go to the 'Ghan, i'de be able to be there!!!

Thanks for the suggestions and ideas. We haven't nailed down the date yet, we are gathering interest from members at this point, but we were thinking June/July timeframe for sure!

We definitely will keep everybody posted as things progress. :smileup:

On top of it, we should try to stay at the same hotel, just so we can get a group discount!!! Personally i don't really care i get government rate, but some other members might be interested in that, i used them meet as an excuse to my wife, just so we can take our daughter to Marine Land, i'm so bad.....mouhahahaahah

Thanks for your input and ideas! They are most appreciated! We plan on offering a list of locations that are preferred on both sides of the border. We will look into getting some sort of discount for those who could use it!

I think we in the US have to have passports now to go to Canada :i_rolleyes:

I believe that restriction come into play in 2009 if you are driving across the border. You need passports to fly now. I will double check that information and will make a note to include it in the Nitropalooza 2008 flyer that will be available early next year. Thanks for your interest and ideas, everything will help us make this a great event for our Nitro members in the area.

Thanks Waldorf! :smileup:

so, depending on when DHS decides to implement that new rule, it might or might not impact Nitropalooza 2008! As long as we make everyone aware of the rules, them we can all enjoy events and sights on BOTH sides of the border!

See you all at NITROPALOOZA 2008!! :Racing:

Yeh guys, were thinking of holding events on both sides. As I said before still in it's early stages and much thinking and planning still to do.

But just to give you a teaser, we'd like to do a couple of cruises up and down the Niagara escarpment, maybe a picnic, the obvious BIG meet 'n' greet, dinner etc etc. There's lot to do at the Falls anyway so it won't be all Nitro.

you mean cruise up and down the Niagara River, right? :SHOCKED:
