I have the time off, just need to figure out if I can afford the gas, hotel, etc. I could meet any Chicago/ Wisconsin area guys and join the caravan....

 

also from chicago and im thinkin of going and wantin to drive my maxima and i was planning of getting 4 more ppl so gas, hotel wont be as expensive and no need to rent a caravan

 

Of course there is a drag event! Have you see the www.MAXUS09.com website?

We have the entire Maryland International Raceway rented out to ourselves!

 

it would be cool to see all you chicago guys again... someone needs to pick me up a deep dish pizza though.


ive been missing those

 

I haven't forgotten about your request from OTraw. We need to hang fam, we need to hang

 

this is gonna be a good time.... i plan to leave the dc area with stories to last me a while.


i'll try and bring you an extra swede if i can

 

It would be great to see some Chicago guys make the drive out.

 

im really hyped for it but now need the ppl/friends to help me out to get there

 

5 hours & 30 mins.......is nothing, I can deal with that!

Excited & can't wait!!

My 1st Maxus!

 

hey i drove 14 or so hrs to get to my first maxus.... it was worth the trip

 

according to google maps its about 12 hours 30 mins to get there for me and its gonna be my first Maxus

 

I have a suggestion. How about making up mods list sheet that can be filled out and printed so some of the newbies wont have to wonder what you did to your car if you are not standing there. There were people asking whats this whats that where did you get it etc... I know some people have invested some $$$ so all your mods are not possible to put on a sheet. Just the basics and if you want to go into detail you can. The sheets can be put on the window with the persons screen name and maybe the state they are from. I met a lot of people at the last maxima meet (that live close to me) but in person (not screen name) i had no idea who they are.

 

Almost all the major Maxima meets in our area (DC, MD, VA and I know the NYC Max members do it also) are given name tape's so members can write their user/real names so people know who they were speaking with. Also many members from 6thgenmaximas have custom shirts with their names on the back:



Last, as for mod list, I recommend you make one up for your car and bring it with you. Many members, especially car show entrants were asked to display the list of mods in their open engine bays or windshield so people could read as they walked around.

This picture was at the NWP Engineering Gaithersburg, MD (Sept 2008)meet, note on the upper left hand side on my engine cover is a paper with a listing of my mods in a plastic protective cover!!!

 

We are in the middle of compiling the complete set of rules for the Car Show. One of the requirements will most likely be that you have a list of your modifications on a piece of paper in your engine bay like Chernmax has.

The Car Show will be held at Maryland International Raceway the same day the Drag Showdown is happening.

 

I wanna go!!! im only in pa--would be great to meet up with anyone else from central pa/philly area and convoy

 

Start getting the word out now and come on down even if they don't!!!

 

Team All Out Nissan will be caravaning down from the Philly area as usual. You will see more information about that as things get closer.

Right now, we are busy organizing all the awesome events!

 

^^ Sweet I took that picture!! lol. i caravaned with team all out nissan to the NWP meet so most likely i'll cruise down with them again. and hopefully this time it doesnt rain haha.

 

SOUNDS OD FUN MY 1ST MAXUS NOT GONNA MISS IT ONLY 4 HOURS AND 8 MIN FROM BROOKLYN !! AND GOT A FEW MAXIMAS COMING AS WELL JUST NEED TO GET A CARAVAN GOING, WOULD MAKE THIS WHOLE TRIP SOO MUCH BETTER

 

I love the pics you tooks of the NWP Meet this past Fall. You also took the one in the background of my sig. Thanks for allowing us to use it for MAXUS.

Definitely! Continue to check this thread for updates. As soon as a NY caravan is being organized, we will be sure to post a link in this thread to the caravan thread.

Thank you. You have PM.

 

The anticipation is so

 

Thanks Aaron. im getting better at it so hopefully i can get some sick shots. this will be my first time attending a Maxus event, but since attending the NWP meet, im sure this is going to be awesome.

 

Thanks. It will blow all previous NWP Meets away!

Thank you.

 

I'll probably come out of the witness protection program and show up to grace all of you with my presence....

Probably in for autocross, drag strip, depending on format the road course, and dyno if you guys allow a giant p3n0r with an ///M badge on the back and a roundel on the front...

 

Man, this sounds like a good time. Might be worth the 12hr. drive. I went last year. Met some cool people. Gotta ask wifey if I can go.

 

Come on out, we'll bring the rainbow stickers!!!

 

I bet we clear easily over 100 Maximas at this Maxus!!!

 

oH, [expletive], this is the day before my birthday

 

We did 100 Maximas on a rainy day at the single day NWP Maxima Meet this past fall with less promotion than what MAXUS 09 is going to get. I am honestly shooting for close to 200 Maximas over the weekend.

 

I know that its supposed to a maxima event, but i have 2 friends that i tend to do my summer car show trips with and they both drive non nissan vehicles. It would suck to have them come down and not be able to use their cars in the drag or any other events.

also its been 6yrs since ive been on this forum and im no longer in the same financially as i was back in college...i'm looking to buy a new car myself and if i do, i would like to bring that vehicle down to "show off"...and i would like to trash you suckas at the racing events...


it might be nice to open it up to other vehicles as well. just sayin'

 

I just may I just may... right now, i'm looking 70% chance of making it out there....

 

if my 3.5 swap works out ok, i may just take the trip out there... since i missed maxus 08 in my own city(was out of the country) and i can finally meet some of you east coast ppl... and liquidvenom.. ill see what i can do about that pizza for ya.. lol

 

This is a day for Maxima's, IMO if we open it up to your friends to be showing off or competing we open this event up to everyone with the same request; which others have asked already. I know Aaron has stated that friends and non Nissan's are invited however those cars should remain parked and not apart of our day. Just my .02

 

I agree but I didn't want to overwhelm him!!!

 

it isnt opening it up to everyone, just people on this forum...that no longer drive a maxima or want to drive their maximas there but still are part of this forum. their friends/family could be excluded, but i fail to see why to have org members go but have to take part at an arms length

 

That's not what I said, if you have a Maxima you have an open invitation to everything based on the rules and information provided on the MAXUS09 web site. But entering non Nissan Maxima cars in the show, drag, auto-cross (if held), audio comp is not what MAXUS is about. Also MAXUS09 is not only being publicized on this Org, but NYCMaximas, 6thgenMaximas, and a lot of other forums. Many former Maxima owners who are also still members of this Org have asked the same question. Once they say yes to you or your friends then others will demand the same. The good news is that after 2pm, the track is open to everyone at MIR so yes your friends or you have an opportunity to run the track. Again this is my opinion and I don't make any of the decisions so I'll wait for Aaron to answer your question directly.

 

As of right now, we are only openly promoting this event to the Maxima world and on Maxima forums. If you are a Maxima enthusiast, then yes, you are invited to attend. But as of right now, there are no guarantees other cars will be able to participate in our Maxima Drag Showdown. A lot of work has gone into renting out Maryland International Raceway and depending on how many Maxima entries we get in advance, we will know if we will have enough room for other car groups to join us.

Please keep in mind that there is still a LOT of planning to do with all these events. And we may decide to eventually open up certain events to other cars. But for right now, we are focused on inviting Maximas to enter the actual events. But, anybody who loves Maximas can come on out.

We are also trying to add more events during the weekend. As soon as those are set in stone, details will be posted in this thread and on the website.

Please continue to keep in touch and keep checking www.maxus09.com for updates.

Thanks.
