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.

I am going to try to get there

Hey guys, I am going to give it my best shot to be there. I have never been there before so I will make it into a vacation as well.

Just let me know on the dates please.

Thanks,
Andy

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:

Yes folks, I think June/July would be best. Way too hot and humid here in August. We'll keep you all posted as soon as we can and thanks to everyone so far for the interest.

Just to let you know so far we have invited 45 members from this area and we have just under 20 who are definites and very interested with a few maybe's if the timing is right.
We still have a lot of work to do in the weeks to come, but be assured it will be a fantastic weekend...

You mentioned a theme song. How about [FONT=Charcoal, Chicago, Helvetica]"Niagara Falls! Slowly I turned ... step by step ... inch by inch ..." Seeing a convoy of Nitros would scare anyone. Tough looking machine and all.

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 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.

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:
