Sacramento / San Francisco Visit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

@Ultramaroon and I are planning to visit the area on January 16 or 17. We will be driving up from Reno so sort of arbitrarily picked Sacramento as sort of a central place to meet anybody that would like to get together for dinner or something.
So a couple of questions. Is there a better place to meet that is only a couple of hours or so from Reno? If Sacramento is fine does anybody recommend a good meeting spot? Is one day better than another for the majority? Is anybody even interested since it is a week night?

Exciting! I think a majority of the guys would be down in the east bay area. They also have a SF meet on tuesdays as well. Hopefully some of the guys chime in to help you decide!

I considered just doing SF but it is a 4 hour drive and our wives would expect us back at some point that night. We can still knock the idea around a bit.

I'm near Sacramento as well as quite a few other guys. I'd be happy to meet up with you guys and grab a bite. It's still over a month away but I should be free later in the afternoon.

I'm in Sac and might be able to join (pending wife approval of course lol). Unfortunately, majority of the NorCal folks are in the SF bay area, but there are a few of us in Sacramento, although most Sac86 folks are more active on FB than here. Perhaps El Presidente @finch1750 can organize something since he's an admin on the FB group.

I would agree though that SF would be a bit of a trek coming from Reno, so Sac is probably your best bet.

Same. But don’t worry. We can all just crash with @BigFatFlip after we got done at the bars...

I don't know the area because no one purposely lives in Sacramento.

I found a pizza parlor (Round table)on Norwood ave. A pizza parlor wouldn't run us off so we could hang and bs, and it is a couple blocks from hwy 80 with easy on/off each way. It is 130 miles from South San Jose and 128 miles from Harrahs in reno.

I might just go to Reno. I have 20 weeks vacation in the books.

I can make a couple suggestions where to meet and will crosspost to Facebook (most of the Sac group only goes on there).

Jack's Urban Eats or Firewings both jump out as they are north Sac and right off 80. Plus we never get hassled there for staying out late. Though if you want to stay inside vs. the cold of a parking lot I'll think of some other options

There's a T4 by Jacks Urban Eats and and a DB up the road

Dutch isnt a bad idea to give them something for the drive back to Reno. No Tim Hortons around I'm afraid @Tcoat

My brother and his family are in the Bay area. Oh, and @Clipdat & @jsimon7777
