Had fun yesterday for my first time at Blackhawk! Always cool hanging with other 86 owners and checking out other awesome cars.
Here are some photos I took with my phone. I think there are some duplicates I left in and the quality isn't great. Starting to think I'll be buying a DSLR soon (any recommendations, especially with IS would be super helpful!). Photos: http://imgur.com/a/48EcB Edit: also why can't imgur order the photos in the album according to filename?? |

For those ofnyou who havent seen it or not on Facebook. This was posted by the Museum
"Open Letter from the Blackhawk Museums regarding our f1rst Sunday Cars & Coffee events In January 2015, following a potentially dangerous incident involving an orange BMW M4 exiting the Blackhawk Museums Cars & Coffee event, we made a post about the Blackhawk Museums F1rst Sunday Cars & Coffee event and the concern at that time for its future. The Museum could not host an event which created an unsafe situation caused by participants that chose not to act in a responsible manner when they departed in their cars. With the support of the many members of the car enthusiast community, museum members, and supportive local residents, along with the contracted services of the Danville Police Department and Contra Costa Sheriff Department, we have been able to conduct our Cars & Coffee event with very few recurring problems over the past four years That was until this past Cars & Coffee event on Aug 6. The disrespectful and dangerous driving that was witnessed around the community this past Sunday morning from car owners cannot and will not be tolerated. As a community partner and in respect to our neighbors and the residents of Danville, we will be making changes to the upcoming Blackhawk Museums Cars & Coffee events. Working with local law enforcement agencies in the next couple of weeks we will be instituting a zero tolerance policy for those car owners that feel compelled to make loud engine noises and perform exhibitions of speed, both at the event and when arriving and departing and while driving through other areas of our community. Since we started the Cars & Coffee event in April 2013, it has become a very popular car enthusiast and community event, and has also given the Blackhawk Museum and Danville exposure coast to coast and internationally for the wide range and uniqueness of the different cars that attend monthly. Since our fourth anniversary event in April of this year, we have experienced a significant increase in the number of cars participating each month, from an average of 650+ special interest cars before, to an average of now 1100+.since April. We don’t need any more cars. We certainly don’t need any car owners that cannot participate in a responsible and respectful manner. Over the past few months we have personally asked individual owners not to make loud engine noises with their cars, or drive in an unsafe manner, only to have them do exactly that with a short distance away or sometime right in front of our volunteer team. Since the event was started, along with the Museum team, our docents and event supporters have spent many volunteer hours making the event possible because they enjoy the cars & the people and how it is appreciated by most as an outreach event for the Museum. We are not prepared to have this very popular and enjoyable event ruined by a few irresponsible car owners. We are going to start identifying certain car clubs, car organizations, or certain cars makes and models who’s owners have displayed a consistent disregard to our requests … and they will not be invited or will specifically asked not to attend Blackhawk Cars & Coffee events. We recognize that not all owners or members of certain cars or clubs act the in same irresponsible manner, but the actions of a few will impact all, and we will act in manner than we believe is in the best interest of the event and our local community. Please remember that this event is held on private property which is surrounded on all side by quiet residential neighborhoods. When one of the owners of the car type categorized as repeat offenders responded on Sunday when advised of our possible actions with; ”that’s not fair”. Our response; “that’s right… it’s not fair! It’s also not fair that a small group of car owners should ruin it for all” We’ll be updating information on our September Cars & Coffee event in the next couple of weeks. Also, for those who have been standing at the intersection when cars leave and videotaping them, and in a lot of cases encouraging speeding or burn-outs, consider that activity over. We will ask the owners of the Blackhawk Plaza to provide security personnel to keep their property clear. Many complaints we receive have identified that as one of the possible causes of the problem. At this time we plan to continue to host the Blackhawk Museums F1rst Sunday Cars & Coffee events. Its an event we enjoy and believe is important to the collector car community and for the Museum. We need to prove to the local officials that we can conduct the event in a safe manner, otherwise they may instruct us to close it down. There have been many other similar style events all around that have been shut down, or decided to stop, because they could not control the problems. We will do all we can to ensure a safe and enjoyable event for both participants, attendees and our Danville neighbors. We ask for the continued support and understanding of the car enthusiast community to participate with their classic, collector and special interest cars in a manner that is respectful to all." |

It's kind of hypocritical or whatever of me to suggest this since I'm awful at waking up early enough even just to be there by 7:30/8AM and I've only gone one time (lol), but I'm going to suggest this anyway:
At the bottom they mention needing volunteers. If we have a decent enough group, it might be cool for us to send one or two people a month to volunteer there. I don't know if it'd be for the whole event or just an hour or two. Might be a good way to kind of show "solidarity" as a car club. |

Was thinking about it but will the new rules complicate things? I guess we just have to get there before 8am?

I don't know if anyone else ( @MisterSheep ?) was planning to organize a roll-in together, but if not I'd say we should do it like in July where we meet up at Starbucks around 6:50AM or so and leave by 7AM. |
