i-club did BAM (Bay Area Meet) here last year. Pretty cool spot. Think the one after this could be like Sac or somethin though? Gettin up at 5 kills us valley folks. Haha

dnL · 08-04-2012, 01:40 PM

I'd recommend bringing some bug repellent gear. Maybe some of those little standalone units, not the spray. The kinds that are used for big open areas for outdoor activities. I don't even know how effective they are though... or if they even exist.

I went to Stafford Lake Park for BAM (as finch1750 mentioned) a few years back, and it was a really hot day and the flies were out in full force, trying to eat your delicious BBQ. It was a great event, other than the extreme heat (near 100 I think?) and the flies everywhere.

Trikle · 08-04-2012, 03:57 PM

I missed the last one unfortunately, what are the details for registering?

denkigrve · 08-04-2012, 07:27 PM

I'm in.

S2kphile · 08-04-2012, 10:50 PM

I would go if I had my vehicle.

phanguy · 08-05-2012, 02:58 AM

i think i'd be down for this!

microcarmag · 08-05-2012, 11:43 AM

As long as Alfred and I are not busy with SEMA build stuff we should be in... Oct tends to be a busy month for us in regards to builds.

raventare · 08-05-2012, 04:16 PM

Did you know i-Club is doing another BAM in September at Mt Hamilton? Just a note if you all wanted to meet there with the other few hundred Subaru's...at least they would have a special Class for us in the Car Show and it would cost less and less planning too

BigFatFlip · 08-06-2012, 06:35 PM

Alright, let's make this happen!

I was actually wondering if anybody wanted to go, maybe we could all get a caravan together.
