I think its time RevScene and him start working together. If he can put together something like this in 1 week why is it that this kind of thing is not being done with the yearly Summer meet??

Because unlike an impromptu meet, our meets actually have things like insurance, proper clearance to use the lots for the day, equipment rentals, etc., etc., etc...

Trust me, if these meets could be put together as easily as you think they are, !SG would be a far happier person.

I kept the $400 (which was the cost of printing the stickers I sold), but I am going to be donating that as well. I only kept it back from the lump sum because I want to donate my portion separately for tax reasons.

So in total the event raised $2700, once doubled by the government the total becomes over $5000!

I am going to be talking more openly with WCCE and all the guys on that side of things to promote their events more openly on all the forums I am a part of. As in the past that has been the missing link, the events have not been as advertised on actual community forums so members always missed out or found out too late.

We'll see what comes of it over the coming year.

EDIT: To make that more clear that does not mean these are going to be official RS events by any means. As I certainly am no representative of RS, but I do have some presence online on a few forums. So hopefully that means these meets garner more attention from a wider audience.



Not even a little credit, where credit is due? This meet turned out amazing for how impromptu it was and how it exploded beyond anyones imagination. I think all Boosted meant was that if an impromptu meet can gather this many people in the dead of winter, maybe WCCE is doing something right, and maybe a little collaboration between WCCE and RS can bring more attention to the RS spring & summer meets.

I understand today is the Paul Walker tribute drive but please don't be stupid and street race on highway 99 and causing an accident in tribute to Paul Walker.

its supposed to be a cruise to pay tribute to him its not a race to join him in heaven with the car gods

End rant

This had nothing to do with the meet all I was saying was a bunch of idiots that came on the highway after they left the meet and drove stupidly

Being at the meet and the driving afterwards is 2 different things

What I was more referring to is the donations, having a meet for another reason than to just get together.

Take donations, make the meet about something MORE than just the cars.
I'm full aware of what it takes to put together a meet like the ones RS puts on every year...much more so than you or anyone on RS knows but thats beside the point.
I think its time we step up and start giving back in some way. It would help the reputation of the car community in Vancouver if we were known for doing things like this.

WCCE did an AMAZING job!

What I realize is that there's too much stuff you have to consider before accusing someone of being "dumbasses" and "Street racing"

I guess I have to get my eyes checked because clearly I couldn't see what was happening in front of me but I guess my hand eye co ordination was good enough that I could stop in time

- Free Forum/classifieds
- Free Registered, and insured meets Biannually. 13(+) years and counting.
- Year round Food/clothing drives
- Etc Etc.

I'm barely scratching the surface here.

Btw. If anybody has Marketing/Advertising ideas, please direct it to advertise@revscene.net/Blitzgear. We don't tolerate spam. Otherwise, stop downplaying what RS has done for the everybody.

But I think we get my point.

We've had a booth at every meet for the past 13 years collecting food, money and clothing for various organizations. As well, we have hosted many donation drives. Many of the clubs that have supported our meets over the years can vouch for this and have contributed greatly. I'm sure even the Vancouver Food Bank has data for how many lbs of food and how many thousands of dollars we have collected for them through our events and meets over the years.

The very first RS meet was actually a toy drive back in December 2000 . Our staffers have not only volunteered their time over the years but they have also braved extreme heat and cold collecting donations. Our “RS Cares” Divisions has done outstanding work for the community over the years and I honestly believe they don’t get the credit they deserve.

WCCE did an outstanding job hosting the meet with such short notice. Could there be a collaboration in the future? Maybe? Just understand that we do our meets differently but we have always collected donations for various causes.

Just a reminder that on December 15th, Saucywoman (Vancouver Lifestyles section Head Mod) will be hosting a Clothing and Food Drive in collaboration with a Revscene sposnor SoundsGood Audio. The details can be found here,

I expected to see the many people who feel that we don't do enough at this event with their donations.

As for coming, sadly I wont be there, have my second daughter expected right around that date. However, if it is a good cause I am always up for making a financial donation to the cause. Paypal?

I think the problem is most people don't care about these other things. Paul Walker was a big part of the car community so its easier to get people to come out and show their appreciation for him.

also the way you said it is what is getting on peoples nerves I don't think anyone that helps set up these meets has a problem with taking advice or listening to others ideas

It was annoying enough trying to keep 3 cars together in that traffic. 3+? not even gonna bother.

Anybody else see that white 350Z spin out trying to drift out of the Spanish Banks lot? He was like an inch away from biffing it on the curb.
