The Alameda idea is cool, but if I remember them trying to do Bam there again recently and it was pretty expensive. Not sure we have a bit enough turn out for that

Yeah i dont think we have enough cars to fill up that hangar

Maybe in the future!

OK. So I definitely thin Lake Del Valle is the right choice. I just drove home from Campbell through Mt. Hamilton to Tesla Rd. Mines Rd is cool, but 130 to My Hamilton and immediately after, well let's just say I can see how BAM and the subie guys end up with crashes. Nice drive, but I sure wouldn't want to do it in a group. If we start there it seems like a good place to end also, central valley guys can take 130 to Patterson, Bay area guys can take 130 to San Jose to head home.

^Yeah, unfortunately true. Part of the reason I hesitate about doing a group drive there is because of that. Combination of narrow roads, minimal guard rails and sharp drop-offs is not a good idea. My thinking with Del Valle is that the central valley folks can take 130 East back, the South bay folks can take Mt. Hami back and the north/east bay folks can head back either back up Mines rd. or mt. Hami.

Why not reach out to Dublin Toyota/Scion and have them play host and cater food. They have more than adequate real estate and parking for hundreds of cars in used.

I might be able to drop a seed with them and see their response.

I'm in for wherever!

sdlynx · 02-25-2013, 12:48 PM

As long as it's not during the Long Beach GP, I'm in. I got weekend tickets for the GP as it's the last of ALMS there in its current state (with P1). Plus the celeb race is in the FR-S.

I'd prefer East Bay too.

Yes please, the warmer the better. The last meet was too cold. My wife pretty much stayed in the car the whole time.
