Hey guys this is Dan from the RX-7 forums. I'm here to get some interest for a local BBQ and possible cruise meet. Here is what I've come up with so far, everything is just on paper and up in the air, so nothings in stone yet.




Here are some ideas:


- Potluck: Everybody brings something
- Meet at park with bbq pits
- Play some basketball
- Bring the boombox
- Play some frisbee
- Meet new faces
- Usual car chat
- Pics


I'm also thinking of inviting some other local car enthuaists (Supras, Preludes, NSXs) if you guys don't mind.

I haven't thought of a final day/date yet, just wanted to get some feedback. The list of things/food to bring include:

- Burger meat
- Hot dog meat
- Burger buns
- Condiments
- Coolers
- Soda
- Water
- ICE ICE ICE
- Napkins
- Plastic knives, forks
- Chips
- BBQ poker fork
- Plates
- Basketball
- Frisbee
- Charcol
- Charcol fluid
- Cups
- Misc snacks

When the time comes I'll relist the things to bring and then in () put your name next to the item.

I'm just throwing out ideas here. I would like to have the meet around noontime, arrive early to claim the bbq pits, play games, talk, browse around. After food we can go for a drive, depending on where we are.

Another idea is that if you guys are interested we can drop by Treasure Island right before San Francisco and take come pics, enjoy the views and what not. After that we could go get some drinks and call it a day.

So basically this might turn out to be a BBQ/cruise meet if all goes well. I'll also have to post it on other car forums for added participants and interest. If that goes well then I'll set up a day and time then we can go from there.



P.S. Any other ideas, opposing opinions are welcome.

If anyone is interested please post here or the RX-7 forums.

So far I've seen interest from the Supras and MR2s. I'll post it with the bay area Preludes as well.

An update: Supra boys would like to hold the meet somewhere near Sactown or at Sactown so they can reserve a spot with Sac Raceway.

The rotary boys from the East bay (SF, SJ) are not sure about this.

So basically it comes down to East Bay VS. North ....

San Francisco/San Jose VS. Sactown. Either would be fine for me but what about compromising somewhere in between? Vacaville, Fairfield, Vallejo? Isn't Sears Point raceway over around there? Or is it now called Infineon raceway?


ANy ideas?

Hey ru i got your message.

Racing/tracking is all optional and that's what the supra boys wanna do. The other car groups that i've followed up on hasn't expressed a whole lot of interest, maybe it seems like everyone else just wants to eat and chill back or cruise or something.

Final location and date is still not given out yet.

If you guys wanna hang out at a cooler place then I'd suggest golden gate park or somewhere near a marina or something. But it's gotta be close enough for SJ and Sactown peeps that they'll wanna drive to make it fair.

Another suggestion has been offered:

Meet and eat over at Ocean Beach, it's a long stretch along the shores of the beach. They say Golden Gate Park may not be the best on weekends due to lack of parking space. The long *** stretch along the shores of the beach is nice a long for those that wanna...... drive...... fast......

No no, drinking and racing is a big no no and nobody is going to do that. Please don't get the wrong ideas about the Supra guys. They're just as down to eat/chill/cruise as much as the rest of us so yeah.

 

Okay so then I've told the Supra guys that racing most likely won't be a part of this event. I wanted this meet to be something where I can meet other local drivers and eat and just chill.

Location and date will be posted shortly.

Alright I think a good location for everyone is this big park in Vallejo. It doesn't have bad roads like SF nor is it too far. People coming from SJ/Sactown don't need to drive super far to get to SF if the meet was held there.

The park is called Blue Rocks Springs. They have a very large parking space in case more cars show up.

Let me know if this interests you guys.
