Hello everybody,

Every year, 6crew.com hosts a "National" (US-hosted) and an "International" (Canadian-hosted) set of meets where Mazda6 members from all across North America get together to have a weekend full of fun. Well, this year is no exception and we are currently beginning to plan the 2011 International Meet. The biggest change for this year is that we will be opening the meet up to Mazda3, 5, 6, RX7, RX-8, Protege, B-series, etc. drivers with the hope to take this meet to the next level. In the past, we've consistently had between 30 and 50 CARS per meet, meaning upwards of 60-70 people in some cases when passengers/families are included in the head count.


Here it is!!!

The 2011 International Meet. It is Official..we have set the date on this meet to be held June 10th, 11th, 12th.


This meet will consist of not just Mazda 6's this year. we plan to take over Niagara Falls Canada and we plan on filling atleast one parking lot at a hotel of just mazda's. So make sure you show your support and you show we can take over this place!!!

The official location has been set as NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO, CANADA. Not only are the falls absolutely beautiful, there is an almost unimaginable number of things to do (clubs/bars, casino, haunted houses, amusement rides, restaurants galore, novelty shops, adult entertainment, movie theaters, animal kingdoms, museums [ripley's believe it or not, wax museum], bowling and other entertainment, etc.), which all happen to be within walking distance of the falls. For those that have been, it's a truly breathtaking experience and for those who haven't...well...why the heck haven't you been yet?!?!?!



Please let us know if you plan on attending. We need to know numbers for hotel booking purposes.


FYI, a round trip flight from Florida to Buffalo (about a 20 minute drive from Niagara Falls) is about $225-240 taxes + fees included. Other trips will likely cost something similar. Kevin and I will arrange for you to be picked up from the airport if you'd like to fly in for the meet. It'll be quite convenient and waaaaay less time consuming and expensive than driving half way across the country.

I may drive down for the cruise. If anyone else is planning on going, pm me.

We can't enter the states though, not that it was mentioned.

 

pretty much everything will be on the Canadian side for this. aside from the Hike that one of our guys is hosting on the US side. this meet is going to be a blast. lots of friends and drinks and just all out having fun seeing the sites. it's basically a car guy vacation type thing.

 

Tomorrow is the day. Looking forward to meeting you guys that are making the trip. See ya there.

 

I won't be able to make it unfortunately due to some vehicle issues.

 

the official coverage thread has been put up. the photos and videos are slowly being compiled. we had professional videographers and photographers as well for this event. it was an absolute blast. wish there was more participation from this site, but great turnout nonetheless.
