subyn00by's name is Hugo, and I think we're going to have 8-10 cars

oh yeah, it might take some coaxing to get Hugo to bring us all by the mall first. We were all going to be leaving here at 9:00 and getting up to Hammy around 10:30 just like we did last year

Just a heads up. I know from my experience driving from Port Hueneme to Fort Hunter Liggett, it is illegal to run a convoy. I know the cops should be pretty chill, but I have heard a lot about cracking down so just be careful. I hope everyone gets there ticket free and no one takes a jump off the cliff, unless they are not in a Suby. then its ok if they just dont get hurt.

Just a tip to everyone and make sure you spread it around. If you want the group to stay together, when you are coming up to a red light, split up between the lanes. Don't just stay in one line. Everyone will not make it through on one pass. I don't know how many times I have seen that happen, turning left you see one turn lane empty and the other with like 30 cars in it. and only half make it through the light

thats a good idea ryan
it always happens when traveling in a caravan that only half make it through the lights , so we will have to mention that when we divide up in to groups and head up. the freeway driving wont be a problem everyone just stay in the middle and right lanes we should be ok.

from the hundreds of North bay drives i've put on we've got that down fairly well, but it's nice that you posted it. not everyone uses that.

Ok,
everyone that is leading the main groups
1.) Northbay- bushido (rich..me) ..................about 20 cars

2.) Eastbay- slvrsubywgn (smitty).................about 15 cars

3.) Fairfield- maddhatteroo7 (ricky)

4.) UCKK- A.V.E (ave)

5.) Salinas- (subyNOOby) (name?)..................im guessing 8

6.) SF/Peninsula- rau (wally)............................about 17 cars

7.) Santa Clara- wally407 (name?)

8.) Sacramento- Rivers (name?)

if there's any other groups not posted please post your "user name" and "real name"

i'm planning on having all the leaders meet in front of my car @ 11:00 am where we'll draw cards to found the order. (if your caravan has more than 15 cars send a different leader for every 15 cars in your group)

My car is easy to spot.
2003 WRB WRX with a Window Banner that reads "BUSHIDO" i'll be waiting for everyone. If i can get a loud speaker i'll bring it.

the grass along the mountain is very very dry so anyone whos cars blow flames keep it down.
also smokers use your ashtray or something dont throw hot butts out the window.
we def don't wanna be responsible for a fire happening.
