Calling All NORCAL: Monthly Bay Area Bimmer Meet!

[Grayson]

Dennis, the owner of Pit Row, has agreed to let us use his lot and facility on Sunday, April 28th! Not only is Dennis an extremely knowledgable mechanical engineer, he also worked in Munich for BMW before coming to California.

Pit Row is a "Do-it-yourself" garage with online resources, tools, and various lifts. Because there were several people on here that had parts they wanted to install, I thought this would be a great, low key event, a sort of "Installation Party".

Dennis has agreed to give people reduced rates for shop/lift time on Sunday. I will be making a separate sign up sheet for lift time-slots. They will most likely be in 30 minute blocks, depending on demand.

So lets get together, see some cars, eat some food, and install some parts. Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 28th.

Please join the Facebook Group to get updates and RSVP!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/491238907583873/

I will be sending out important updates through that page. Also, people will be able to comment and post pictures all in one spot!


-----------------------------------------

Hey guys,

We've been talking about it for a long time but I'm hoping to get some sort of recurring meet together for Central/Northern folks in the Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Francisco area. Obviously all areas are welcome, there's just been a lack of northern meetups in the past.

I don't mind organizing or sending email updates to people, but some suggestions would be awesome!

Meetup Frequency
I was thinking every 4 weeks or so, but I am totally open to suggestions on if that is too much/little. We can easily just meet up somewhere for a few hours and grab some lunch, or go on a drive if there is enough demand.


Meet Location
I figured we could very this. One month do Santa Cruz, one month do San Jose, etc. I think this would allow people who might be a little further north/south to attend on a more regular basis. Maybe someone knows the owner of a shop/local business that wouldn't mind hosting? There are endless possibilities.


Contact Info
If you are interested, please sign up on the list below and add an email address that you don't mind an update a month going to.


Meetup suggestions so far:
- Santa Cruz
- Monterey
- San Jose
- Palo Alto
- Mountain View
- San Francisco
- Fremont


Driving Route Suggestions so far (if there is large enough demand):
- Santa Cruz to Big Sur
- HWY 9
- HWY 17 up north to SJ
- Mount Diablo

BRracing - we will be posting something each day this week about the meet this coming weekend (SUNDAY March 3rd). We want to create a great show environment...and to that end, we have invited some of our other great partners to join us so that this is much more than just a show. One of them to join us this weekend is APEX (Aftermarket Performance EXpress) w some of their new wheels and other products....come on out, see their new products, all their wheels (many of which are on our project cars as well), and see the variety of finishes and designs. Come on...come on out.

Definitely!

[brracing]

BRracing - today's update. As part of the vendor showcase and event, we will have Meguiars's here at the event, showing off all their products, and doing a detail on a car. Come see all their products, and ask all your intimate questions on which items are needed to take perfect care of your beast.
Come on out...we have more to share as well. Will add more each day this week as we build to the event. Plus, weather looks to be perfect for a car meet....not cold, not hot, partly cloudy. Way to order up the weather Grayson!

So far we have -
BRracing
APEX
Meguiars....plus more to be announced

RELATIVE to parking...yep, could be a concern. The meet is at 1PM.
We will be starting the setup of the event area at about 11am, to get our cars out and the vendor area setup. The parking lot itself will hold about 30 - 50 cars, depending on how we want to park them (in addition to our project stuff and our RACE trailer). We are putting the smaller RACE trailer on the street to provide more room, and to make it easy for anyone to see where we are as you drive down the main street.
At one event, we had 150 cars, so we took over the two adjacent parking lots as well (there is a small shopping center lot next to us to the North, and an office building lot to the South, plus some places on the street). We do share the parking lot w Wheel Works, and they are well aware of the masses to be descending on our place on Sunday.
