S.Cali BBQ/Meet/Dyno??????

Hey guys I was thinking about having a meet around July 22nd. We can have it at the Rose Bowl or maybe at Evosport? I know Simon was talking about having a dyno day. I wanted to have it at my new house on the beach, but we don't have enough room for all the cars. It does have "5" garages though.

I am dying to show off my new baby. I should have it back from Evosport with all the mods by June. Trust me it's going to be a sick car. I can't wait to set some new records.

On a side note guys...look out for my 210 in trade express tomorrow. I am trying to sell it so I can pick up a 02M5 for my daily driver. If you guys know anyone that is willing to trade for an 02M5+more cash from me let me know.

I would love to have a meet that we can all remember. I bet Saprissa will be back by then.

I'm going to try and get Evosport to have it at their place. Parking might be an issue though? I will start another thread in a week or so with the location. If we have it at the Rose Bowl I will have a 1/4 mile test run set up for us. They told me I could do it last time.

If there's going to be a 1/4 mile track, then Rosebowl ALL THE WAY!!! Count me in!!

Also, I know of a very clean, low-mileage '02 M5 for sale out of Santa Barbara if you interested.

I'm looking for silver. If it's silver PM me with info. Thanks! My ad came out today in trade express without the pic. Idiots!

I will start a clean thread tomorrow with the meet info. I will also copy the list of people that have signed up. I was trying to get one in OC to give the San Diego people a break. I think we should have it at fashion park and have lexani host it. LOL I'm not sure of the location, but we can start a list and set a date. I agree the Rosebowl would be fun with the 1/4 mile set up. My only fear is that someone would hurt someone or do something stupid. ????

I was thinking about that earlier. You'd probably want to have everyone that participates sign a waiver so that nobody gets lawyer-happy.

Aww I will miss you Sun! I need to confirm the date guys. Simon said we could have the meet in the Evo lot and have a BBQ as well. When do you get back Sun?

Yeah I can't wait to finish the beast. I have never spent this kind of cash on mods.

Yeah I bet you would BBQ for a Stage 1. Give Simon and Brad a few beers and strike your deal. LOL We would love to have your mad BBQ skills that day. When I get back from my trip we need to do some fun FWY runs. hehe



Hey guys thank you for signing up. I will be gone for a couple of weeks, but when I return I will start a new thread with all the sign up names. It will be the 22nd or the 29th of July. Evo needs to check with the landlord before I post details and get a commitment from them. This time I will bring better beer for Vic.
