Where are the NorCal meets??? Options

[CAMAricer]

The bay area has some very nice places for photo ops and meets (Treasure Island was neat...). Sonoma has the racepark and drag nights on Wednesdays. Marin's got the park. Also there's plenty of places to just cruise (along the 1, north or south bay). A BBQ would be nice too, it being summer and all and how I missed the SoCal one . Let set a date for August (9th or 16th). And get a sign up list up too. So I guess I'll just set up the framework for this meet and you guys can add on to it. In the meantime, I'm going to scout out places suitable for this meet tomorrow...

Where: TBD

When: August 9th or 16th

Description: Hanging out with fellow 6GC from NorCal, a mini meet & greet, some food, photos/video, and a cruise.

Caravans:
North bay -
East bay -
South bay -
Peninsula - Maskedman, CAMAricer

Attending:
1) CAMAricer - Nam

[CelicaST_CALI]

hahah the fact i cant drive until the 28th....hahaha youngest norcal celi ftw!!!!

[CAMAricer]

Can't drive until the 28th? Well that just plain suck. We'll have to plan something later this year then for you if you can't make it to an early one...

hahah the fact i cant drive until the 28th....hahaha youngest norcal celi ftw!!!!

On a separate but related note...

I went out driving (for fun and to look for meet spots) today and spent about a good 3 hours in the Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate National Recreation area. And DAMN was that fun!!! Too bad it was in broad daylight and there were a couple of cars on the road that couldn't go nearly as fast as the posted speed limit (35MPH on a mountain road isn't that fast, now is it?) but once they got out of my way, I was tearing it up through the corners as fast (and safely) as I could. Surprisingly, I found it hard just to keep my speed at 35 the entire way (wonder what kind of car those road engineers were driving?).

I made it to Stinson beach before deciding to head back. There was nice parking lot next to the beach (maybe a neat place for a meet?). Then I made my way up and down the roads (Panoramic highway) until I looped back to the 1 before joining back to the 101 and back towards the Golden Gate bridge. Now I must say that the ride wasn't the least bit comfortable...I was slipping and sliding in my seat, arms tense on the wheel, foot constantly on the brakes, eyes darting out in front of me, it was intense. But hell it sure was fun.

I was wondering if there is anyone who like to join me on my "cruises" throughout the twisty and winding roads of North Bay? I might do this bi-weekly/monthly as time/money permits. I'd also like to have a go at night too (just to see how it's like). So besides these larger annual/semi-annual meets, perhaps some of you want to just drive together for fun?

ehhh,mabye as a place to go to after the meet,but i dont think we should have that as the only thing...

[Akira_g4]

I'm down for a cruise, just tell me when and ill try makeing it

[ZEROCOOL]

ssooooo......r we doin somethin before summers over???
i thinkin we should just go bak to treasure island n have a bbq, cause if we do dat my brother would go wit his celica.

[CAMAricer]

Well if people can start confirming dates in which they can attend a meet, it would make things alot easier to try to arrange this meet

I know it hard to accommodate everyone's schedules, so why don't you guys throw out dates in which you could attend a meet?

I'm basically free each weekend (Sat or Sun) of every month (and some Fridays as well), so any of those dates would be fine. Treasure Island would be a good place to go to since it's easy to locate and has plenty of places to park (afterward we can drive almost anywhere for those who want to take a cruise).

So as soon as I get an idea of when people can make it to this meet, I can post up the official "NorCal Summer Treasure Island BBQ meet" thread. And if I can find a place to make some shirts (or towels/caps/etc), I can hand those out as gifts at the meet too.

***Side notes for the unofficial Marin mountain "attack" trips***

CelicaST_CALI, I just checked how far you were from me...that's a good 2 hour drive? So if we were to head into the mountains, what time would be best for you (daytime/evening/night)?

And Akira_g4, how's your schedule look like? And the above question also applies to you as well

If we head into Marin, we should meet at a designated location first (depending where everyone is coming from). Let me know so we can hammer something out. I'm thinking in two weeks (the weekend of August 2nd) or possibly after our NorCal Celica meet (whenever that happens).

well, I may have a blown engine in my 6gc, but I'd still be down to go to a meet with my new alltrac if you guys don't mind having a non-6gc with you. I'm definately down for a drag race, I'd like to see what this thing's got. Or just chilling. whatever is cool with me. I'm starting a new job on monday so I'm not exactly sure what my schedule's gonna look like yet, but I know for sure I'll be available on Sundays, and later in the evenings.

at the pleasanton in n out, there is an import night every thursday at 7. Enjoi

Do you ever head out there Jeff? I'm out there almost every week but I've never seen you there. I usually don't go until 8:30-9:00 though cause people don't really start turning out until it's dark anyway.

[Akira_g4]

Well usually i never get weekends off so i have to request it off. but the longer i wait to request it off the less of a chance ill be able to get it off. Nathan don't worry you wont be the only non 6gcer there it would be cool to see a drag race between your all trac and my GTS. haha that'd be tight!
