I havent thought of a date yet. I kinda would like to set something up with my dealership and maybe get something going at lowe's motor speedway. I have not done something like this before so any tips, ideas or suggestions would be great. I eventually would like to find a way to make it a monthly thing with maybe some sort of spec auto-x thing going or something fun like that.

Well if you wanna do something on a larger scale you might wanna think of making it a full on Honda meet. I don't think there are enough Fits in the area for anything large scale.

i'm down for a all honda meet...as long as the typical honda douchiness that usually accompanies those meets is left out.


dave, hendrick honda has a pretty big meet every so often...maybe you could talk to the dealer and see what they say? usually meets at the dealer are pretty amicable.

totally agreed! there are some really cool honda guys out there, but the scene is dominated sometimes by less than stellar folks.

it would actually be nice to put some faces to usernames as well.

There are a lot of Fits in the Carolinas and last time Rick Hendricks Honda dealership in Charlotte hosted the event very well I am told. I suggest you ask him about another. if memory serves, honda of Concord is one of his dealerships. And just down the road from Charlotte motor Speedway ( Lowes apparently giving up naming rights).
in any case, keep us posted.

Another potential is the Honda dealer in Danville, VA, who seems to be a gung-ho dealer as well.

Hendricks had a good meet last time, but Egon84 doesn't wanna plan a meet at another dealership since he works at one.
