Rev-X/SpecOne.Va Presents: Weekly Car Meet FBurg,VA

REV-X is kicking back off starting Saturday April 30th, 2011 at our new time 8:00PM and runs to 12:00AM

This meet is now in conjunction with SpecOne.Va You all remember my Dicks meet in Woodbridge. We got shut down by Dicks with no loitering signs. Now that Rev-X has extended the offer to join forces, we now have a legal spot to hang out and host events.

Address:
11120 Gordon Road
Fredericksburg, VA 22407

From here down is written by Sean the original coordinator for Rev-X meets. This is his baby I am just here to help promote and organization.

REV-X is a Weekly Auto Meet. REV-X is held at the Salem Fields Community Church Parking Lots. This is private property with over 550 available parking spots we definitely have room to grow. REV-X last year averaged about 175 car every weekend and had peak attendance of 363 on night. We are currently the most successful weekly meet in Virginia.

The Church Meet
We have become known as "The Church Meet." This is because REV-X is held at a church parking lot. But also, Salem Fields Community Church owns and operates REV-X. They are the equivalent of a corporate sponsor, they pay for EVERYTHING and they put a lot of money into REV-X. And yes, I am a pastor. HOWEVER, you are NOT required to or obligated to attend/go to/volunteer at (etc.) this church in any way. We don't bash you with scripture or try to convert you. Those who know me know my circle of friends, those who don't are usually surprised by it. I don't care if you are an atheist, gay, hate God, whatever. If you have questions about religion or faith, just ask me. And that is as far as I will talk about religion.

I just wanted to put it out in the open.

A step above the rest
REV-X differs from any other local weekly meet in that we have a corporate sponsor. This has given us some benefits that most other meet allows do not. We have our own indoors full service cafe serving drinks and food. We have indoor bathrooms. We have a pretty stout sound system. And I am writing proposals to vastly improve REV-X. Also we have one vendor/shop that has expressed interest in setting up a booth at REV-X. Salem Field Community Church has a full time production team, which means if I need help with sound, audio, video, photoshoping, etc. they are available to tackle the job. They are are taking on the task of making our new flyers this year.

Also, I take on the responsibility of managing and keeping everyone safe, while still trying to maintain a fun atmosphere. All you have to do is follow the rules and have a good time.

Rules
The rules really are just common sense to ensure this meet continues:

This will be a 100% drug/alcohol free event.
Keep it slow in the parking lot.
No burnouts/donuts
No revving your motor or blasting your music.
If your car is moving your headlights MUST be on,
No weapons.
No Fighting.


Breaking the rules
We know that people will slip up, so we will in most cases give a warning for people revving or playing load music, or driving with their lights off. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave.

The only reason we have the headlights rule is because last year there was a near accident that would have been avoided if the moving car had it's headlights on. It's more for your safety than anything.

Speeding through the lots or Burnouts/Donuts(UNLESS THERE IS THE EVENT THAT ALLOWS THIS) will get you kicked out for the weekend. maybe longer.

I am an advocate to the right to bear arms, but Virginia is unique that it is a misdemeanor to have a weapon on church property, this includes knives unless you have written consent from the church are are a LEO. So we had to make it a rule. Punishment? You could be arrested.

Fighting will get you kicked out for season. It's simple, we don't tolerate it. However smack talking about your cars is encouraged.

Equipment violation Tickets
Last year when we started I had hoped to work with local law enforcement. It didn't exactly go the way I wanted it, but we did eventually sit down with the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Department and came to an agreement. Spotsylvania Sheriff's Department is working with us. We have agreed to deny entry to anyone persons that Spotsylvania Sheriff's Department asks us to deny, but they can only do it for two reasons. 1) Street Racing 2) extremely reckless behavior.


Other REV-X Events
Last year we talked about things like free track days and a burnout pit. Those plans were put on hold due to some complications. We are re-investigation those events. Things like this take a lot of planning and must be budgeted far in advance, I really do hope to do at least one track day this year, but it may not happen due to the planning/budgeting requirements.

 

Bump for this weekend.

 

I'll prob be going there, meets were pretty good last year when people were not acting a fool.

 

It did get a little chilly out. from about 9 to 11 had roughly 50-60 cars come through. As for the location. It was pretty decent. Well lit area. Had some music playing. Got to talk to a few people. Give it time and better weather, the meet will grow.

 

Go Away.

Mod note: Post reported, under investigation.

 

That's rude. You want to hang out at the other meet. Fine, but don't troll other peoples thread, we get enough of that from the organizers of the other meet.

 

Well damn I have been in the area for years & I can say one thing. None of these local car meets last. They start off strong but end badly it's just how it works. Now you have two local meets on the same day, should be interesting. Good luck with that.

 

You know, I have to agree with you.


However, after spending the day with my 6-year old son taking apart the head, I'm not going to be THAT mad if my meet ends. Someone else can deal with the hassle of the cops blaming organizers for the street racing fools from now on.

 

I can see it being a headache. We used to go out to the various meeting spots all the time, but people never knew how to act.

 

+1

I will troll whatever I like, at least I own a rx7 on a rx7 forum.. not a crankwalkin DSM.. LULZ

I don't hang out at meets FYI, I am not 17.

 

Not too take sides, but DSM's are not the only motors that crankwalk & it's common in the 7 bolt not 6 bolt motor that he would have in his car.
