View Full Version : the Missouri Meet
orocker 04-12-2008, 06:25 PM Ok here's the deal. Most of you know that I am driving my camaro to Ohio at the end of June. Then I am driving west to Missouri to see my bff 350rs in St. Peters. I have hotel reservations at the local Holiday Inn and we will be there until sat.
We are planning a meet on July 4th thru the other camaro forum that I co-admin at. Camaromadness.net. We have a few from that forum that are not to far from Missouri and are willing to drive to New Townfor a meet onJuly 4th. One of our members has a sister that lives in New Town, Missouri and did some checking and the event director of New Town wants to know how many cars there will be, we can be in the parade that morning and have reserved parking at the amphitheater all day. Then watch a kick ass fireworks show that evening. This is something that could be a really great thing.
So what I would like to know from the members of this forum who would be interested in joining us this July 4th for the meet. We do have a sponsor and he is going to donate some great door prizes. Please post up soon as we need to jump on this opportunity asap.

I wanna, but its kinda far
ur still midwest. dont be a ninny
orocker 04-29-2008, 07:51 PM ok here's an update for those who thought possibly on coming.
I got more news from the event director. It will not cost us anything, all we have to do is show up at New Town before 9 am and we are in the parade, and we get premium amphitheater parking all day, but, I need at least 10 to 15 cars committed. I was told that he'd take less then that as long as we can commit to something. You guys are looking for a venue, I found one this can be the start of something big, but, I need help. This is the biggest American pride celebration, he wants an American muscle car show. Let's keep this snowball rolling.

TRIPSxZ28 04-30-2008, 09:59 AM Where the hell is New Town?
Can someone fill me in on this event.
I am not clear as to what is going on.
I live 10 minutes from St. Peters, MO.
SpecterGT260 04-30-2008, 10:23 AM i just got the official "ok" from the gf that i can be awol on the 4th. so im in :D
TRIPSxZ28 04-30-2008, 10:30 AM Nevermind I googled it. (Google what a great invention.)
Sothe meet is New Town in St. Charles, on July 4.
I am in for sure.
I know a few people with 3rd Gens so I may be bringing a few people along.
350rs 04-30-2008, 04:44 PM Good, we need all we can get. My camaro may or may not be there, all depends on a few different things.
I think from what i know of it, we are around 10 or 12 people showin up. only about 6 or 7 CARS for sure though. Since mine is up in the air idk if i will be there or not.
orocker 05-07-2008, 10:15 PM Well it has been requested that we try and get as many muscle cars....not just camaros to come out for this meet and parade. I am working on getting details on just where we are to meet up for the 4th so we can be in the parade and then where we can go from there. The guy in charge of getting us into the parade it looking to get 20 cars in the parade.
SpecterGT260 05-07-2008, 10:17 PM how fast will the parade be moving? my car cant coast below 10mph :D cam starts to buck really bad down there [:'(]
350rs 05-08-2008, 11:40 AM well lucky for you it will be in reverse!! lol
SpecterGT260 05-08-2008, 02:03 PM ........ eh?
CamaroKid16 05-08-2008, 02:43 PM July 4th, in New Town, MO. Cost us nothing other then cost to get there. Be there b4 9 am to be parage and we basically get great parking and everything for the whole day and great seats for that night.
Bring as many muscle cars as possible. I can't gurantee i will be there, but if i am, i wil try and get a few other cars to come down. Will you welcome cars other then american?
350rs 05-08-2008, 09:14 PM where are you?
97SuperSport 05-08-2008, 11:29 PM I might be able to make it. I live Jefferson City, MO. Depends on what my financial situation is then. But all we have to do is just show up??
CamaroKid16 05-09-2008, 01:01 AM i live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
350rs 05-09-2008, 04:08 PM oh your not to far from us then.
All you gotta do is LET US KNOW asap then you can show up. The cruise can only happen if we meet the minimum cars. but if you say your gona show you need to show then.

I think this is to be a good old fashioned grade A american muscle car thing.
TRIPSxZ28 05-12-2008, 08:57 AM I agree no imports. The fourth of July is about America. Lets keep it that way.
orocker 05-12-2008, 09:39 PM ok here's an update:
Here's the New Town website: http://www.newtownstcharles.com (http://www.newtownstcharles.com/).
For a map and directions to New Town go to the link I posted earlier in this thread, click on the contact us link then click the map link. There is a Comfort Inn right there close to New Town. What I know as of today (Sunday, 11th) is that we have been invited to have a meet at New Town on the 4th of July, We will be able to participate in the parade and will have reserved parking at the amphitheater for the day. The event coordinator is looking to get at least 15 cars in the show, However, he will take what he can get. If we can pull together and make this work, we may be invited back each year. It's all baby steps, but that's how great things grow.
I will be staying at the Holiday Inn in St. Peters, Missouri which is about 15 min away from New Town.
TRIPSxZ28 05-14-2008, 08:57 AM From what I heard New Town is like a ****ing cult.
These people that live there have to paint there house a certain color,
and have to sell the house back to New Town if they move.
Read some of there web site its kinda weird.
But im still gonna be there.
itcantbestephen 05-14-2008, 10:08 AM Gah, if I had a Camaro I'd be all over that[>:]
SpecterGT260 05-14-2008, 10:27 AM well, just bring ur own kool-aide then
SpecterGT260 05-14-2008, 10:30 AM wrong thread [&:]
350rs 05-14-2008, 07:26 PM cult or not im there.
orocker 05-14-2008, 07:55 PM Me too. A t-shirt is in the works
TRIPSxZ28 05-15-2008, 08:15 AM A Camaro Forums t-shirt would be awesome. It would be great advertisment for the site,
on July 5th we would see a record number of visitors. I'll take an XL.
I already have two other third gens coming with me. Trying to get more.
orocker 05-15-2008, 10:09 PM Well this is a camaromadness.org sponsored event so that's what the t-shirts are going to say. We opened up this meet to camaroforums.com and horsepowerforums.org as well because it has become a muscle car meet for the parade and not just for camaros. We are working on getting some removable vynal stickers for our cars. I will see about getting some made up for camaroforums.com. But I need to get some def commitments on who is really coming.
350rs 05-26-2008, 11:41 AM soooo any updates or what?
SpecterGT260 05-26-2008, 11:53 AM well, im def in. havent heard from iowa in awhile tho
SpecterGT260 05-27-2008, 10:29 AM im assuming this is cool since u mentioned all muscle cars. a few of the cooler folk at mustangforums live near to st louis. im PMing info
orocker 05-29-2008, 08:13 PM ok we need to know exactly who is coming out for this and what kind of car you all will be driving. Even of those friends that will be tagging along for this. I would like to add that I have a gift certificate from Summit as a giveaway. I will try to have some more info on t-shirts and stuff this weekend.
And to any and all that I sent a pm to last night saying the meet is in St. Pete.....actually st pete is where I will be staying. The meet is actually in New Town which is like 10 min down the road.
meteoralp45 06-08-2008, 08:42 AM if it was closer to me id go
kirks11 06-08-2008, 11:45 AM i Live about an hour and a half from st peters, i have no idea where new town is.
orocker 06-15-2008, 10:19 PM ok so there are quite a few of us that are in the middle of major car projects and cant have our camaros there. We are still going to have a meet in missouri but I think the car parade part of it has been canceled. But we are still having a meet in New Town, Missouri. New town is part of St. Charles, Missouri.
Hacksaw1985 06-19-2008, 09:55 PM Im game whats the details?
orocker 06-20-2008, 09:40 PM The details.........well it seems now that soon New Town is going to be flooded with all the rain. I am still going to St. Pete Missouri to visit 350rs. We are still going to have a get together but no parade. Too many of us are in the middle of big car projects so our cars wont be there. Just us......if you want to come out for the meet I will keep you posted on whats going on in the next few days. I am leaving for missouri on Tues July 2 and will be in St. Pete for 3 days.
SpecterGT260 06-29-2008, 06:55 PM its official. i am no longer going to be able to make it. with all the flooding and everything here in iowa city and cedar rapids well.... im swamped (hyuck hyuck...)
ill be sticking around here for that weekend
STLDave 06-29-2008, 09:26 PM im not sure where i will be that week end for sure, might be in clarksville, but i live like 3 minutes away from st. peters in ofallon. i'm not familur with a new town but it sounds like a fun time if i'm in town i would like to make my way out if i could get a place and time, or maybe just directions from 70?
by ampitheter do you mean the verizon umb what ever it is now?
orocker 07-02-2008, 08:18 PM I am not sure about the exact location we are hooking up at. I am told there is a restaurant at the east end of the ampitheater in New Town....suburb of St. Charles. I just got here to Missouri today and got checked into the hotel. I will post up more details as we figure out exactly where we are gonna be and what time.
Sorry to hear that Spector but good luck with all your clean up.
