Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest pavillion

what is a pavillion???

LOL - it's a place out here where car people gather on the weekends. I don't know why they call it that...they just do

so where is this place they get together? i know that some of our team members are going down there to race october 11-13 for the fastest team in the west. some of them have hondas,nissans, contours, svts, focus's so it should be fun..something being held at the firebird. plus we really dont know where to go. well as far as get togethers as to speak. the last time in march we just went to like a couple of speed shops and mall and the strip. so i was wondering if i could get a low down on where the hot places to go would be. maybe even get together with a few people with domestic and imports. i am not about import hating or domestic. i mean come on are all american cars made in the us anymore....well hope to hear from you...later...

I think I'm missing part of the big picture

Could you clue me in on some of the details??? Being gone for almost 2 weeks has cluttered my brain

a bunch of us here in farmington are headed down to phoenix in october and i would like to mingle with some people who are from the area.... plus we really wouldn't know what to do....like when we did go there in march....we were like duhhhh...i dunno where do you wantto go....duhhhh i dunno. hope i made sense.

Aaaaahhhhh - now I get it.

Well, there is quite a bit to do here. Depends on if you want to keep it strictly car-related or not.

If it's only car stuff you're after, sounds like you guys have a big time planned at the track. There's also the Pavilions mentioned above. That's in Scottsdale (NW part of Phoenix metro). You could also set up a group dyno at StreetFlight (the place making the Duratec turbo). We have enough tracks around here to keep things pretty busy.

If you'd like to step out of the car world for an evening or two, your options increase drastically. There are a ton of clubs scattered around. I haven't been to Mill Ave., but I hear it's full of clubs, bars, etc. and you can actually bar hop just walking down the street. There are malls, but I'm not much of a shopper, so I can only tell you where they are. Of course there's the more "adult" side of things. Strip clubs abound here (though most call themselves Cabarets). We have our fair share of microbreweries too, but Po-Jay could probably give you more details on those. He's the beer guy here

October's a good time to come out. The temps start to drop around that time. What are the dates you guys will be out?

well be out october 11th through the 13th. well something every one will enjoy there is some bar hoppers and some single guys and gals. so we have shopper and nonshoppers. shoppers spent there time at arizona mills the last time. some went to mills ave. some to speed shops. and i tried to get some places fun for them to go to cuz some have never been to phoenix....i think i'll hit up mill ave next time. plus ohh family guys to like the zoo. well i am looking for a hot spot for a gathering of sport compacts...

How big is your group??

You could always terrorize the runways at the airport w/ all the cars. I'd get a kick reading about that in the paper

well our group is about 10-11 cars if everything works out others would not be able to go. but you never know. oh the airport. no we better not. the valley of the sun's finest would probably give us arabian names and say we tried to stage a collision. or something...lol
