ok... did I get your attention?
and it\'s not really a meet right now, but it can as weel turn into a meet .... :)
anway, I know bunch of \"orange\" people are planing a photoshot on june 3\'rd, but I thnk i\'ll have to bail out... the reason... well... here it is (the site is up and down right now for some reason, i guess they update it)
http://www.stpr.org/
it is the 4\'th round of Rally America Championsip and actually bunch of canadian dudes will be racing there too. It is in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania and from T. it will take around 4 hours to make it there. Why do you want to be there? well let see
- you will be able to see the only rally version on Mazda 3 in action.
- if you like Travis Pastrana, you will see him in action too, he\'s driving Subaru this year
- if you like Ken Block, you\'ll be able to see him too, he\'s a Subaru dude this year
- bunch of other very fast people in various cars (4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive)
complete entry list is here (check out entry # 17, 40, 41):

I\'ve been specating this race for last couple of years and it\'s fun. you dont\' haev to stay overnight, it\'s totaly doable in 1 day (you\'ll haev to wake up early and drive very late). The date for race says June 3\'rd and 4\'th. The race starts at 9 am on june 3\'rd and is done around midnight (that\'s why they say june 4\'th). Last year I left T. at 4 am and was back at 3 am on Sunday night. If you dont\' want to do it, there are bunch of hotels and campsites around. You might have a problem finding hotel right in the town, but should be able to find one about an hour away from the race... camping should be no problem...
and the main reason to go is that this year will AWESOME!!!! why, because this race is once of the races to select people for X-Games in LA this summer (yeas rally race will be part of X-Games this year) and a lot of people in rally community want to participate in it, therefore they will be pushing extra hard during that race, which means more crashes.. :) and fun spectating.
As for me I\'m gonig there to spectate for 100%... I will be doing it in one day... but I\'ll be leaving from St. Catharines (it\'s 1 hr closer and I have a place to crush there on Friday night) early on Saturday morning and coming back early on Sunday night. It is totaly doable, believe me, a lot of coffe and red bull and you\'ll be fine.
There is a \"spectating\" secion on the main site that goes into details about how to spectate, where, maps, time and so on.... check it out if you are interested.
