Exclamation SoCal MB meet PLANNING thread - (May 12 or 19)

time to begin planning for the next BIG Mercedes-Benz SoCal Meet....

Looking at either May 12 or May 19

and venue can either be our usual spot at LOT K of the ROSE BOWL (Pasadena)
or another central SoCal location with capacity to hold 150+ MB's
without Po-Po intervention.

If you would like to help plan, please post here. Looking for:
  • DJ with own power
  • MB Tuner sponsors (Renntech, Brabus, Kleemann, HoP, Carlsson, AMG, evosport, etc...)
  • Donations for raffle prizes
  • Other sponsors (car care products, sound systems, wheels/tires, etc...)
  • Logistics Supervisor (banners, canopies/tents, permits)
  • Parking Supervisor / Arrangement
  • Professional photographers
  • Promotion Supervisor (magazines, photoshoot, donations)
  • Liaison with local MB Dealerships, MBCA Sections, MB Classic Center, & other MB clubs (190SL, Unimog, M-100, etc...)


We will start a NEW thread, once all the exact details are finalized.
So don't start a list of attendees just yet.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles only !

Carlos,

Don't give up too easily!

BTW, I know Liz Rusnak (RUSNAK Mercedes-Benz, etc), so I might be able to convince her to do something for the meet.

I have been trying to reach Carlos the past few months to help plan a more elaborate 2 day event either June 1st & 2nd or 2nd & 3rd. Hopefully I will hear from him soon. There will be a save the date posting coming out next week looking for final feedback and additional details. It will be worth the drive from NoCal and Arizona........
