My first Hammy meet, and I thought I was going to go to Jail before it even got started!!!! Thought my car was going to get towed also.

When everyone was leaving D&B, I was going to wait it out and go after most had cleared, so I got out of my car and stood on the cement light thing, took a few pics when I heard the siren, I thought the officer was going after somebody for doing something stupid or something.

Well, he headed straight for ME and asked in a stern voice to show him ID and registration the whole 9 yards!!

Then he told me to pop the hood, Since my car is mostly stock except for some suspension stuff, it was all good.

He just told me that if people are told to clear out, they should clear out instead of taking pics of vids or what not, I completely understand where he was coming from and apologized.

He was cool about it and just sent me on my way with NO ticket or anything, I was very relieved!!!

 

meh maybe next year zoeb man...if u ever took the back roads to berryessa around napa....thats a freaking cake walk and ive got that back road down compared to mt hamilton.....hammy is insane to me lol

 

I had a great time driving up there, the food was great, it was nice to hang out and get to know some of you guys a little better, and being able to see that many Subies all in one place was awesome!

If it wasn't for the SRIC peer pressure last night I would've still been home playing video games or something.

 

good thing for peer pressure

 

it was my first time as well as others. both me and my girlfriend enjoyed the day. The food was tasty the fact that all three parking lots got full impresed the hell out of me. The caravan up there was quite enjoyable. I'm sure for next year there's a way to clear things with the mall before hand so the I-club pic goes as hoped.

to all how put this thing together thanks, and see ya next time.


p.s what's the story about the cliffhanger?

 

HAH... that was you? i was right next to you in the white car when that happened.... the officer seemed pissed!

 

carnut.....

just so you know, that officer couldn't have done ****.

There is no way for him to prove you were not a patron of the mall. You were not loitering. There is not a no picture policy at the mall. If there is, it isn't posted so it can NOT be enforced. I would have loved for him to pull that **** with me.

They had to pick someone to flash their small dick at. Make an example of...you just happened to be the easiest target since you were out of the car.


Next year....we need to set the time up with the mall and get permission...or meet somewhere else. UCKK or somewhere else that would be cool with us. Getting permision is the biggest deal to some of these people. They need to feel power....if you ask for permission you get what you need and so do they...if you don't then they feel like you haven't taken power and control out of their hands.

we did nothing wrong. the mall wasn't openned. we went in when it was open. the stores where not open. many of us bought sodas, mcd's starbucks...patrons of the mall.

If we do this again next year they can deal with me. I have no problems with that.

 

You and I both man. Hell, I was coming up with the rest of the subydude.com team and even Gagan/joltdudeuc in the huge Rota van was on my tail at some point before I took the tail end eventually. I really have a big fear of heights. :P

 

this was my first mt. hammi meet as well. Over all it was a great time, I got to D&B at like 1035, and shortly there after the police rolled up and everyone started to roll out. I then some how became the leader of a caravan...and I had no idea where to go...good thing a black wrx took the lead

I was supposed to go with 3 other people, but they ended up not making it on time so I was solo with my girl. hahaa

I think she talked to more people than I did (she was the tiny asian girl with the teal tank top and khaki skirt)

either way, im looking forward to next year

 

this was my first time going to the yearly mt hammy run but ive been on hammy before. it was such a great event, i had so much fun. i got a bunch of free stuff from a few vendors and met a few new ppl. i will defintely go to next yrs event.

My first Mt. Hammy meet also. I had a great time, and I'll try and make it again next year. I didnt know anyone, and hung out with my lady most of the time, but we were able to meet a few cool people.
I was running late and missed the UCKK caravan. Made it to D&B in time to see all the subarus before the popo broke things up. The drive up to the park was nice. No one was driving crazy so it was just a nice cruise before we ended up in the long line to get into the park.
Overall... a very well organized event. Next time I'll try and get more of SCIC to make it up for the meet.

 

wow, man the meet was a blast, and the canyon...man it scared the heck outta me!! i live in socal now and a canyon race almost every weekend if not every day...and outta of all the canyon's ive raced on in both socal, and norcal, mt. hamilton is the scariest..i cant believe anyone taking those sharp corners and hairpins at high speeds..i would love to take them if i was some what knowledgable about the road but it was of course my first time..and yea i feel sorry for the fellow who fell off, i you're fine buddy..but to those who do run mt. hammy, kudos to you guys, just please stay safe and have a look out on any possible hazards...thx everyone and hope to see you guys next year if not, then the local meets (uckk and dcmp) later!!

yea man u gotta drive hella careful on those turns, there's no reset button while in that canyon i wonder how some of these rally drivers would drive in it....petter solberg, sebastion loeb, marko martin, marcus grunholm, etc....im sure theyd be scared too lol

 

Did you head up to the observatory? Nice meeting you and looking forward to seeing more of the SCIC next year.

 

pretty cool experience i'd say. i got pulled over right before the start of mt. hamilton road from alum rock. i knew i was getting pulled over. i saw the cop hiding while i was waiting at a stop light. I went 3mph below speed limit just in case, and as soon as I passed him, he turned on his lights and got me.

mostly he just questioned me why he just saw 50 subarus go by and if we were racing etc...but i didn't get a ticket.

next year definitely bringing a lawn chair or something.
