Ottawa Cruise Nights

[turbomar 13]

I would like to organize a get together for our fellow Ottawa Smart owners. I thought it would be cool to assemble for a cruise night at the Rideau Carleton Raceway cruise night. This takes place every wednesday night starting around 5pm. The first meet could take place as early as June 19th. I suggests we meet in the front of the parking lot adjacent to the main road and then we proceed to the car show area as a group to ensure we are all parked together. If you have to rush right from work to make it, no worries, the RCR serves a decent buffet! If you are interested please feel free to comment and add any other ideas you would like to share. Thanks... Mario

Count me in. I was wondering if there would be any Ottawa events. Probably I'll be the only one with a 451 (don't see many in this forum), but I'll be happy top be there.

I'm in for meetups after the 30th of June.

How about we plan for June 3rd and give people time to plan so we have a large turnout?

[Lito 2]

Do you mean... July 3rd?

[turbomar 13]

Personally I can attend the june 19th and 26th and July 10th and 17th. No can do for the 3rd of july, I work evening shifts every 3 weeks

[KurtMan 2]

Thanks Lito, I did mean July. I can't do July 10th so I guess next week or the 26th on June could work.

I am flexible... Just an opportunity to shamelessly bump this thread

Monkey Joe's, Boston Pizza and Canadian Tire have weekend Cruise Nights. Here's a list of other shows in the Ottawa area:http://web.ncf.ca/dg300/index3.htmlOn another note, I contacted the RCR Cruise Night rep. to ask him if I could do a gas turbine demo. He was primarily concerned about the noise. We agreed that I would bring it along and then decide if we can set it up somewhere as to not cause too much disturbance.

At this point it looks like we can make it this Wednesday June 19th.

I am going to aim my arrival in the front parking lot(by the main road) around 5-5:15pm. We can aim to get in the car show area as a group around 5:30pm, to ensure we are all parked together. If that doesn't suit someone, speak-up. we can vary that time frame a little. Those attending so far:TurbomarLitoKurtman2seatragtopCenturionFreepjamasmart42

We plan to be there - possibly in our two smarts :-)Guess we need to do some car washing between now and Wednesday!

[FlossyTheSmart 81]

I won't be able to make it, since it'll be a bit of a drive from St. Petersburg, so people had better take pictures and post them though!

Phew! Good thing I came back to look at the thread. I did not put it into my calendar and almost forgot. I'll try to be there by 5 as well.

Allright Flossy, I'll try and remember to take pics. Hope your trip is going smoothly. Will catch you on a future cruise night I'm sure!

Can someone please put a google maps link? Sorry... Not very familiar with the area. I'm coming from the Market, so I guess is beyond the airport, right?

[turbomar 13]

Yes, between 5 and 515pm in the front parking lot next to main road.

Here's a location map of the RCR:
