Ling, do you know if the lot is gonna be sectioned off by manufacturer (i.e. Benz, Bimmer, VW, Audi, etc...)? Or is it basically first come first serve whenever you get there is where you'll end up parking?

The OC Caravan is meeting up the SD guys so we can all park together. I'm sure Lon will do his best to try and get all the benzes together but no guarantees since I'm sure we will have some people show up that didn't RSVP. Just wake up Drex or you can crash on my sofa

Waking up part shouldn't be a problem. It's the getting my *** up outta bed and driving that I'm concerned about... I'm used to doing that one the weekdays, but rarely on the weekends. But, I guess it's all worth it if we all end up parking next to each other.

Lon (bugzy) said they will try to section off by car communities as best as they can. I'm sure he'll eventually come back and read this thread so hopefully he can chime in but that's what I got from our last conversation. I'm sure there will be people who did not RSVP like last year and manage to squeeze in somehow. It is highly recommended that you get there early so you don't get put in the boonies by yourself.

Also bring fold up chairs and/or canopies if you want to sit in some shade.

Hahaha...All good. Was just curious. Never brought my car to a big "Euro" meet before, so this'll be a first. Just wish my washer nozzle cover wasn't loose (long story )

I think it'll be a good meet. Looking forward to seeing all the peeps again. And for once, us L.A. peeps are actually travelling down there!...LOL.

I think I've got a few small folding chairs, but they're the tiny ones. I'll bring them just in case.

Signed up as well. I went to HIN at Qualcomm Stadium last year to spectate. I remember the rain and horrible traffic. We stood in the rain waiting for cars to be judged. Finally, I said f' it and left. Thankfully, this is just a meet.

everyone on the CARAVAN thread that intend on coming down, need to make sure they sign up on the SoCal EURO web site:

we are not sectioning off by Make, but we are allowing some of the car communities to have a section

but it is still a first come first serve setup for the parking

so come early, or come together, is still best

Saprissa

how about the first group of MERCEDES-BENZ that get there section off about 50 or so spaces for the rest of the MB crowd that will be getting there after 11 AM.

I've got a Mercedes-Benz flag and an AMG flag that I run up a pole if there is a pole. At least that will direct people to the MB Corral !!!

Let's get ALL the MB's to park together !!

MJ50

shouldn't u be the FIRST ONE there???

Saprissa

heee heeee

I'll probably lead my caravan of 3 out of the house by 9:40
and arrive somewhere around 9:55

The policy is no reserving spots beyond what they have already set aside for the car communities. They will try their best to accommodate us but intentionally blocking off a block that large will rub others the wrong way. We are guests at this event so let's not try to ruffle any feathers by dictating what should be done to accommodate us. They already have 750 other cars to coordinate so let's just do as told to make their lives easier. I'm sure they've planned this pretty far in advance so let's not throw in any wrenches at the last minute. That's the last thing they need. If people can't be punctual to get there together then that's too bad for them.

MiKeSSw203

Are we going to organize parking tomorrow by class/model or is it just park as we pull in? Just wondering.

sdsilverm3

Try our best to organize but it'll probably be park as we pull in.

If the canopy people want to get to Qualcomm a little early (9:30am-ish) please do so.

Saprissa

so who is getting there when ?

and if two separate groups show up, won't they be parked far away from each other ?

MJ50

i thought OC caravan is meetin' up with SD crew and roll in together...

Saprissa

I don't know.

I thought the SD Crew was meeting at either VONS or FRYS at 9:45

but I guess there's others getting there early.

Saprissa

gotta go wash the 3 MB's now....

see ya guys tomorrow !

MJ50

yeah, OC crew is supposed to meet up with SD crew at Fry's...

sdsilverm3

Everyone is still meeting up with the rest of the folks at 9:45am. Remember there are car communities sectioned off already but not one with 50 spots. I was told to bring the canopies early and claim where our main headquarters will be. From there it may be easier to grab parking spots for the group but not to overdo it. I didn't mean everyone. There are two canopy owners who I've already spoken with. I'll grab those two and run down there.

It really sucks that I can't take my car for it's first meet (and it's right here at my hometown) 'coz the freakin' dealership can't finish fixing a malfuntion warning. They said parts won't be available 'til Monday so I have to leave the car for the weekend at their shop...I guess I'll just drop by as a spectator...(Are spectators welcome though?)

sdsilverm3

Sorry to hear about the issues. Went last weekend without my car as well.

Spectators are most definitely welcome. It is a free event so come by, hang out, and socialize.
