C7 Fall Tour, Sunday Oct. 14th

Hello all,

Sadly the summer is coming to an end, which means winter is not too far away. However, before winter comes along, there is one exciting event coming up in the fall.

I know a lot of you have been asking about the Fall Tour for some time now. We are very excited about this event as well and are looking forward to a large attendance this year. Thus, we, the EMT of C7Performance are proud to announce Fall Tour 2007.

For those who are not aware what the Fall Tour event is about, the event started with a select number of drivers who wanted to get together with fellow auto enthusiasts and had about only 12 fellow drivers on the tour. Since then every year after we've had a great turn out of people wanting to go for an end of the season tour. The fall tour is a non-profit event (its totally free) that is made successful by participation of the Ontario and surrounding clubs now reaching numbers of over 500 fellow auto enthusiasts. Click here for a video of one of the past fall tour events.

This highly anticipated event will occur Sunday October 14th 2007. Registration has started, so click on the link provided and register yourself. As well, you will find a link for the waiver that needs to be filled out for the day of the Fall Tour. It is imperative that this waiver be signed and ready to hand to one of the C7 organizers before leaving to start the route. So please be courteous, if you do not have it filled out before leaving, you will be holding up the rest of the line.

Pre-run with EMT of C7 and 1-2 representatives of each car club will occur prior to the Fall Tour. Please choose a representative from your club accordingly and email brandon@c7performance.com

As well, cars will leave with their club, so please stay with your club. There will be a few minutes delay between each club leaving the starting point onto the route, so please be patient. Maps of the route will be provided the day of the event and e-mailed out the day before the event.

Now we are hoping for a huge number of participants for this year. However, I need to emphasize something. As members of car clubs, we need to show the community we are serious about safety. Recklessness will not be tolerated at all at this event. That being said, the police are aware of our event and are supporting our tour. Reckless driving will not be tolerated so please keep this in mind the day of the event.
This year’s event will start on the east side of Toronto (rather than the west) in the Pickering/Whitby area and go north/east. We have arranged a special finish line at a professional race track which we will get to park and enjoy the day.

If any of you guys have any questions, concerns etc., please do not hesitate to contact Brandon (brandon@c7performance.com) or Darryl (Darryl@C7performance.com ). We will be more than happy to help answer any questions.

All being said, let’s make this Fall Tour the best yet! So register yourself and get ready for the highly talked event yet!

Take care,
EMT of C7 Performance

finally some info came out, i was scared that they'll cancel it for this year.

[Broli]

this is excellent, bubbs did a sweet job coordinating the TM3 peeps, and i look forward to a repeat!!

[Ghost]

I was right about to post up and ask if this club gets a big turnout for this meet. I've always wanted to go, but it hasn't always run every year.. or run successfully... so it would be sweet to get out to this one

[S.F.W.]

looking forward to seeing the details, should be a fun event.

[Effin Itai]

I'm down for this event for sure. Bubbs, you gonna start a roll call?

[bubba1983]

I was right about to post up and ask if this club gets a big turnout for this meet. I've always wanted to go, but it hasn't always run every year.. or run successfully... so it would be sweet to get out to this one

they have only had one year where it didn't run, every other year, minus the first year they have had at least 200 cars, they have hit the 500 car mark the last 2 times it was run....

Weren't we lost last year? I remember we kept doing U turns.

[stas]

Weren't we lost last year? I remember we kept doing U turns.

i hope it wasnt as bad as on the way to BubbaQ. i think a 35 car u turn was bad enough, i can only imagine 500 cars doing that :chuckle

[bubba1983]

Weren't we lost last year? I remember we kept doing U turns.

we only made 2 u turns last year, and they were made right after the turns we were supposed to turn on...one of those...oh shit, we were supposed to turn there....*screeeeeeeeeetch ebrake slide*

[Broli]

i think the uturns added to the fun of it . . .

Adam, make sure to throw a few of those in this year too!

:D

[1flycdnM3]

I was there '03 and '04 and it was HUGE and alot of fun... missed '06 cuz i wasnt "officially" a TM3 member until this summer :)

Definately looking forward to this again as I see that silver celica ALL THE TIME :)

sweet, I signed up.

[stas]

definately in, although i'm not sure who i'll be cruising with, but you will see me there that day

[1flycdnM3]

well brampton was far enough for me really, so i may be forced to wait until last-minute for this...pretty sure i wont make the trek out that far though...bit of a stretch...going to wait and see about plans and how many cars decide to come out!

[bubba1983]

^^ where are you located?

[1flycdnM3]

^^ where are you located?

I am in Burlington so yes I do realize you are a little farther than me, but I just can't justify driving more to get to a cruise than the actual cruise. Although I did enjoy the last 2 events I went to so we will see.

[bubba1983]

122 signed up so far, its only been 3 days!

[dentinger]

so is this a cruise, THEN a multi club meet??

[stas]

so is this a cruise, THEN a multi club meet??

multi club meet then cruise then multi club shibang:chuckle

[1flycdnM3]

ok im a sucker for the C7 cruise and havent been to the last few so im in! Looks like the numbers keep growing so it might be worth the trip and im too excited now to pass this up as C7 has yet to disappoint :)

[bubba1983]

im also a suckerf for this event.
as mentioned , last year they reached over the 500 car mark, and in 2004 they were really close to the 500 mark.

for you detinger, the basic break down is its a multi club invite, a cruise with a pre determined route with a big starting and ending point where everybody converges.....thats our basics of this fall tour. Its put in place to take in the colors of the season ending, and to get everyone out for one last horrrah before winter sets in.

[dentinger]

oh i am SO in then!!!
sounds like fun!

and we drive in convoys then i take it eh?

[1flycdnM3]

^^ I remember '04 because I came in with the VitalMotion Crew as our TorontoAccords group was so huge that we had to split it up a little bit (and I was in kitchener/waterloo alot anyways with the crew). Absolutely outstanding turnout, especially from the cold weather as it was closer to the end of October.

[dentinger]

im in just as long as there is no snow on the ground! lol

[bubba1983]

haha oooh man vitalmotion has seen better days now...

[bubba1983]

heres another one for yah denty to get an idea
http://www.c7performance.com/images/random/11.jpg

[dentinger]

[bubba1983]

[dentinger]

[bubba1983]

204 cars signed up so far fellas!!

[dentinger]

im trying to get my friends to come too, but since it's thanksgiving weekend, alot of them have plans....

[bubba1983]

since when is that thanksgiving weekend?

[stas]

its not, thanks giving weekend....isnt thanksgiving weekend week before c7?

[dentinger]

ok, stas is right...
i have no real concept of time....my bad.
i'll try to persuade my friends to come them.... lol

[3GFX]

Signed up. I am so excited for this! I missed out last year and actually went and did the route the following day, one of the best personal rides of my life, didn't know there were these nice roads close to home. I just hope nothing comes up.

[1flycdnM3]

^^ it is a different route this year i hope you know??

dont want to give people the wrong idea and have half the cars show up at the forks lol

[3GFX]

Oh I know its different, I just know its gonna be good :)

[sicsol]

Someone start a list.

[bubba1983]

im waiting till they release the starting point, should be by weeks end, at which point ill start up the list

[1flycdnM3]

lol sweet sig Adam! hahahahaha :)

can easily check the website to see who signed up (I check it regularly now)
I do think we should try to setup a westside meet spot for a "cruise to the cruise" hahahahaha... why not... maybe the Oakville meet spot or Masiv meet spot... I will leave this upto Adam though :)

[bubba1983]

lol, well see, ill need help from others that actually live in teh GTA for pre meet spots as i don't live there....

[stas]

Adam you know which track this will be held at? can you find out?

[bubba1983]

that stuff is kept top secret usually till the week or so before the tour...the emt likes to keep things close nit! but im pressuring them

EDIT: UPDATE from the EMT

In the past Fall Tours, we have worked alongside MADD and this year we will be doing the same, Kawartha Chapter of Madd will be at the end track handing out ribbons and taking donations. The event will be starting at the AMC complex in Whitby on the North East Corner of the lot, the event will end at the Kawartha Downs Speedway. For those who haven’t heard of this track it is about 45min away from Toronto on the highway and has a Slots Casino and restaurants on site and has been a previous end point in our Poker Run.

On top of it all, Performance Auto and Sound will be making an appearance again. Some of the goodies entail the following:
-Giving away annual subscriptions to their magazine at heavily discounted rates
-There will be FULL event coverage in PAS Mag for the Fall tour
-They will be scouting show cars to feature in upcoming 2008 issues of PAS Mag
-They will be doing a feature on C7Performance
-They will also be scouting other car clubs

So this will be a great event for all involved. Whether your car is completely stock or a show stopper there will be something for everyone! To register please visit http://www.falltour.ca. The route will be posted on falltour.ca the day before the event and e-mailed out to everyone to the e-mail they had signed up with.

[Effin Itai]

[1flycdnM3]

Kind of important for me cuz I am trying to co-ordinate with someone that will be coming with me that lives in the area...

[Tric]

Why the Hell is there a Waiver for a car meet?? very odd if you ask me.

[stas]

Why the Hell is there a Waiver for a car meet?? very odd if you ask me.

because its an event, which also happens on public streets, there will also be a shit load of people participating, which means anything can happen, and organizers tend to be responsible for pretty much anything unless they have good lawyers, even then they tend to get ****ed for someone elses negiligence. imagine one moron deciding to speed hits someone in front, or what ever, the guy that got hit can sue the organizers for damages. or a genious decides to do burnouts when we get to the destination and destroys a dozen cars....

[dentinger]

waiver??
do we sign that at the start or.....??

or is that what the 'sign up' is for??

[stas]

waiver??

I SUGGEST EVERYONE READ THE FIRST POST BY BUBBA!!!!

[bubba1983]

[Effin Itai]

Guys, we should start a roll call? Anyone in the West up for meeting at the Crossroads Tims @ 401 & Weston early Sun. morning?

[Nextmod]

damn it, they have made it the same weekend as SCP, so I would have to miss this fall tour again

[Nextmod]

Why the Hell is there a Waiver for a car meet?? very odd if you ask me.

cause its always nice to think ahead. and a lot of people likes to blame other people if shit happens lol

[dentinger]

i cant sign the waiver...
everytime i go to open up the link, my internet freezes, and it says it has encountered a problem and needs to close.....

[stas]

i'm sure they'll have extras at the event...

[stas]

btw, is an rsx allowed to roll with TM3?:chuckle

i think this will solve the problem of everyone bugging me to see my new car....

[bubba1983]

^^ yes

ill have plenty of waivers and maps incase anyone forgets them (think of last year those who went)

i think there is at least 3 london guys rollin up wiht me from the far far wesside

[bubba1983]

[Soyabean]

hmm, what should i look for in a mazda 3 to find you? lol

[b3GS]

cause its always nice to think ahead. and a lot of people likes to blame other people if shit happens lol

the waiver is to protect the organizers of the event from any liability

if someone pulls some dumb shit, they don't want to be responsible so the waiver covers their ass legally

it's smart, because with this many cars.. who knows what could happen, you can't control everyone's behaviour :loco

[bubba1983]

hmm, what should i look for in a mazda 3 to find you? lol

i meant the group as awhole!

[nicker]

[dentinger]

meee toooo!!!!

[cyberscorpi0]

Do we have a particular channel for the "FRS"?

[mEtH]

and so...

[S.F.W.]

fun event. Weather was cold, route was twisty. Two U turns were half the fun. Props again to Bubba for being the BubbaQ master and feeding as after.

[Broli]

it was a great day, i will get some pics up in just a bit

the cruise was great i should say, the picture taking after was awesome!

the meet at the end of the cruise . .. well it was too cold, so it was sorta weak!

but still a great day, it is all about the cruise and that was awesome!

[MPS]

6am wake up call thats all i will say

ohh and it sucked

[3GFX]

All around I thought it was an awesome day. The only disappointment was the lack of PASMag's attendence. ahh well.

The route was great, thanks to a few wrong turns I managed to get in front and take some pics. Some have turned out and some have not. 3/4s of the pictures I took are in 'RAW' format so I have to DL a program and convert them, once I do I will post in a C7 picture thread.

I gotta give props to Bubba for BBQing, organizing and leading us. Although I must say the best part of the day was our 4-car group booking it back along the route on the way home, clear as day and no traffic ;)

I can't wait to see the pics!

[S.F.W.]

6am wake up call thats all i will say

ohh and it sucked

6AM ? You live 1 minute away, I got there before you, and didn't get up until 7:45am.

[Kocakola]

Good seeing some of you guys again :D

till next time!

[Broli]

good seeing the TOP crew repping it, good numbers!

as u said, till next time!

[Effin Itai]

It was a fun cruise, a little long I might add. A little disappointed with the end meet. Everybody came and then left. So for next year I will rethink coming back. Hats of though to the C7 club, for organizing a nice curvy, bumpy, and hilly(prolly not a word) route. LOL!

[1flycdnM3]

^^ +1

the route was fantastic as I expected nothing less from C7 crew! Very unfortunate about the weather but yes the 4-car group flying back down those roads was... in one word... FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Coming all the way from Burlington, I was most surprised to realize even after all the excitement, still had 1/4 tank of gas left too!!!

[Junior]

Good to see so many Mazda3's out repping your club.

It was cool to jump on the express lanes at Kennedy Road and then zipp by the Mazda3 conga-line cruise. If there was a helicopter taking video from the sky, I bet it would have looked really sweet.

As always thanks to bubba for offering us eats and drinks. We now look forward to this every year. (j/k)

Till next year guys.

[bubba1983]

it looked liek a friggen zipper when you jumped onto the xpress lanes...

[1flycdnM3]

^^ what were you doing lookin' at junior's zipper?!?!

oooooooh zing!

[bubba1983]

*hangs head in shame*
