Default Anyone in the triad area?

I'm looking around for a local S2000 club, in the triad (High Point, Greensboro, Winston Salem) area. I've seen a couple S2000's around, but most seem to be driven by older guys (50+). I just saw a NFR hard top yesterday with an older guy driving. I've also seen a Berlina in High Point with tinted windows. I just wanted to know if anyone gets together in that area. Thanks guys!

We used to have a fair number of meets in the GBoro WS area, but folks have moved, or sold their cars - oh wait - that was mostly us older guys!

Now we meet in Raliegh quite often with both the old and young.

Hi, Rich !

As Dave reported we had a good group going in the G'boro area...unfortunately, several sold their S's, one was totaled, and several have moved away !

SO...not much has happened for about the last 6 months.

I'm always up for getting together...just be forwarned that I'm in that 'ancient' category (50+)...but I don't act like I'm much over 100 .

I'm hosting the next Zoo Run on Saturday Oct 11...so if you can make it down, then you will be most welcome.

I am sorry for acting like I did not want to get together with "older" guys!! Please forgive me if that sounded closed minded or stuck up. I would love to get together with you guys. I am sure you guys know a lot more about these cars than I do. I'm not exactly 18 either. I'm 32.

What time is the Zoo run starting? I may see if the wife wants to get together with you guys. If not, I may go it alone.

If anyone is interested in possibly starting a Triad area meet, I would love it.

Also, are the meets in Raleigh monthly or just at random times? When is the next Raleigh meet? I have a lot to learn from you guys, so we need to meet!!

Thanks for the info guys.

Not to worry ...you will find that we are a fun loving bunch...and will never miss an opportunity to get our pokes in !

Zoo Run...I'm thinking around 12:30-1:00PM.

WARNING...we will at times drive rather 'spiritedly'...some 'plus 1's' like that, some don't...just so you know.

Looking forward to meeting you...Rich !

Oh don't worry about my 'plus 1' not liking that. She drives the thing faster than I do!! I don't think I can make it though. I was just reminded that is the day of my cousins wedding (which I am in). I wish I could make it. I will make the next Raleigh event though!

Hehehe, no worries, we like to poke and prod a bit, around here, as Steve said.

Raleigh meets are usually First Saturday every month at Brier Creek where they have a monthly Italian/Exotic car meet. Usually start at 9am, and do lunch, followed by a drive if it is not too blazing hot. Usually upwards of 10 cars, our best attendance was August when we had 21 show up!
