We are looking to have a registration fee of $20 per head (cost of bbq buffet and park rental)

we need at least 50 cars and 75 attendees to make this happen

i will need volunteers to help out for this event

comments and suggestions are welcome

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

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

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.

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

I'm in.

i will setup registration once everything is finalized already


payments will be made using paypal as a donation :thumbsup:

I would go if I had my vehicle.

i think i'd be down for this!

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.

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;)

Alright, let's make this happen!

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

SWEET!:party0038:

I'm in if the date is in late October.

I missed the last one b/c I was out of town. I'll be out of town again on Oct. 20 so I am hoping for an Oct 27/28 event.

Damn, I would really love to go to this but I'm deploying at the end of this month :(

i'll be taking a few trips in the next 2 months, but i plan to join u guys if schedule permits.

I'm in once again

added a POLL

please vote

I voted for the 20th, but can also make the 27th

I voted 27, but can also do Nov 10 as well. Any way to make the poll take multiple answers?

That was an option when you make a poll. but once the poll is posted, you cant edit it.

Nov 10th is fine for me, also voted for 27th.

Oct 20 and Nov. 10 works for me, Oct. 27th is a maybe

yeah i'm not sure if the 27th is a great idea since it's halloween weekend for people. *shrugs*

you're right! i just thought of that now :confused0068:

Bump this up.

I need more inputa from you guys

Is parking included in the $20?

I'm in for the 20th!

Can't do 27th and after cause of work.

PARKING Fee: $8/car/day (Is NOT part of the registration fee to this meet.) You pay this amount AT the park gate to enter.. not to me.

fees will be collected by park officials

im in disneyland the weekend of oct 19 but i can make the 27 for sure though.

OR NOV i can do that too. :):)

We're good with the 27th, but could probably make any date. Looking forward to it! Will stay tuned for more info. Ya know, there are auto games you can play, too, even in a small parking lot - kind of like the driving version of an egg relay, etc. Any takers?

I'm in so long as I'm not back east visiting family.
