Alright folks,

It has been a long awaited time for the Poker Run that keeps getting moved around from date to date

We are Finally Ready!!!

Details ready for release are

Start point is CamelBack Scion at 3:00 PM. Roll out time will be 3:30 PM
Finish Point is on the West Side. Location to be released soon enough!!


First Item on the agenda is we will NOT condone Racing, Speeding or erratic driving of any kind

This is to be a fun, exciting and SAFE event

So lets start with the guidelines that are ready to be released.

First the cost of the event is the gas to get to and from the event. The course will take $6.22 in gas IF you drive the speed limits at all times.

-You will be required to sign a disclaimer stating that you will be solely responsible for your actions.
- Each car will get a number assigned to it.
- Each car will leave 5 minutes apart from the starting point.
- Each car is HIGHLY recommended to bring a Co-pilot to read the instructions to the driver. Again to stay safe.
- Each car will receive your directions at time of roll off.
- You will need to make a Total of 6 stops along the route
- You will receive a card at four of these stops and the other one you WILL be required to make a small purchase of an item (total cost of event below)
- The event will cover roughly 80 miles somewhere in town. Dont ask since you have to find out at the event. That is half the fun right!!
- Your Checkpoint stops will be clearly marked by seeing other Scions there and/or volunteers waving you down.
- You will get to draw one card at each location. Of course you dont get to see it first, LOl

We will have prizes and awards to give away to the winners. In case you havent done a event like this let me help you understand what the point is. You basically want to build the best poker hand possible on the course while having fun and seeing the city. At the LAST location you will get your last card to build the best poker hand. We highly encourage people to bring cameras and video cameras if at ALL possible. There will be people working the Checkpoints and they will have cameras so make sure to Smile as you are trying to get the best card you can!!

For those with video cameras. WE would like to make a video of the event for everyone to see at a later date.

Possible winning hands could be, but limited to or guaranteed to be a winning hand

The prizes will be awarded and the winning hands will be announced at the end of the event.

See you ALL there

RockBlocker

Some clarification from Amber. She wanted to know if PornStars' are included since they are movies stars too

So yes If that is who you choose that is fine. They MUST be clothed though. Sorry Bryan, but it is a must for the children.

bryoninscion

Have fun, be safe! I won't be there. That's my dad's B-day.

soGone

Wow this is gonna be a blast

RockBlocker

It should be. The goal is to have a minumum of 50 cars at this event. The more the merrier. Last time I did a poker run there was a total of 85 cars that attended.

That created some serious chaos, but I would do it again in a heartbeat!

DA%& CR@$
Thats our anniversary and I will not be able to be there,I would be in deep DO DO if I went on a car run instead of a special dinner etc........

RockBlocker

How about if we cater a special dinner for the two of you? Think that would work??

bbcrud

AWESOME

Sharpies_tC

OK, this is going to be a blast. Maybe this will bring back some of our long lost love.

Scion06

This is for all ages right?

Scion06

and how long do u think this will go on into the evening, just wondering?

RockBlocker

Yes, it is for all ages and we will probably go into 8-9 ish. something like that. The run itself will go for around 3 hours depending how fast you drive it and it you get lost.

No worries though, if someone gets lost the map will tell you where we are going to end up.

RockBlocker

This is awesome! We are already at 16 people signed up for the event. There is still plenty of time to sign up on Scionetics so please do. I know some that are calling in sick to work or taking that day off. No names mentioned here

The goal for the EVENT is MORE Scions than we have EVER Had in one Place. Ltes try to get 70 Scions in one place.

Make sure to mention this event to any Scion driver you see out on the road. We will have flyers made up by Wed that can be passed out at dealerships and people that spot other Scion owners.

Thanks for the offer of a special catered dinner , but I 'm afraid Micky Dees and Krispy Kreme's wont cut it...................
I think I have to take her somewhere fancy like that French restraunt "Joc in Le Box"
Not really, we usually go somewhere nice and about the only way I could Swing the poker run is to make a res @ somewhere nice in Phx. and stay in a nice resort and she knows I aint springing for a fancy resort !!!!

I didn't know what this "poker run" was about until I was linked to this thread from email sent out by scionetics. I am so there just asked the girlfriend and she wants to go too!

bbcrud

So YOU'RE the one he reads the emails! Thanks!

It's going to be a blast!

ScottsdaleTC

Maybe Boomster can spring you the honeymoon suite at “Le Marriott” for a good deal. A good friend of mine owns Don and Charlie’s Steak house, I’m sure I can get you well taken care of on a great dinner.

RockBlocker

Wohoo - We are at 18 people so far.

Lets keep on the upswing towards 70!!
