**I need some drive leaders for this meet. If you are interested in helping me with the drive please email me at [email protected] or PM me**

The day’s events will go as follows. Meet and setup for a mini car show and have lunch. After lunch we will have a group chat and separate into the different groups for the drive. The drives are not a race or to see who has a better car. If you wish to showboat then take it to a track. I and those who volunteer to help me will not tolerate any showboating. If you do we will stop the drive and ask you to leave. Please respect others and others space while driving.

We will be meeting at Stanford Mall Again (I am currently looking for other venues but for the first large meet of the year we will start there) the start of the event will be at 11:00am and the drive will start at 1:00pm. We will have 2 drive routes. See Drive details below.

For those caravanning from Sacramento
We will meet at the CHEVERON off Industrial BLV. This is the exit on HW 80 just before you get onto the causeway heading to Davis. We will be on the leaving roughly at 9:00am. Please do not be late.

Drive details.
*Mandatory:
*EVERYONE who goes on the drive will bring a 2 WAY RADIO. NO RADIO no drive.
*We will be on channel 4.0 as group chat. (Do not talk to friends on this channel)
*If there is any sides of horse play or goofing off the drive will be canceled
*If an organizer asks you to back off, you will respect his(her) call or the drive will be canceled for that group. (Only takes 1 to ruined it for all)

Drive groups
1. *Spirited*. This is for those who wish to drive at a more spirited pace. Depending on the number of people it will be broken down into smaller groups based off number of drivers and skills of the drivers. I will meet with EVERYONE who plans on being in this group(s). If you have any issues bring it up with me at the meet. We will be going on a separate route than the group drivers.
2. *Group*. This is for those who want to drive as a group and go at a “Cruise” pace. This will have more than one leader spread throughout the group. This way if the group spreads out there will always be someone keeping a moderate pace that knows where they are going. This will be a club type drive. Get your cameras out and blaze away. Nothing more amazing than seeing a group of cars driving in a long formation.

These meets have grown from a humble 20 car beginning to 186 in our last meeting. I am sure we will continue to get bigger with every meet and I am relying on all of you to help make these events happen by helping me with the drives or by spreading the word. These large meets are for all cars and drivers of all ages. As we all know what happened at last year’s final event, I am trying to make sure we avoid such incidents and make sure they never happen again.

FYI.
* I am currently working on track day. Once I get the final info on cost I will post the details for everyone.
* I am also working on an autocross style event and will post on that event as well to be held at an airfield or a large fair ground. Details to come)
*In the end of June or first part of July we will do a Toys for Tots drive again. We will start to make this an annual thing to have 2 drives a year. There are always families in need so let’s all help out when we can.

Help spread the word and monitor the boards as I have only so much time in a day. Thank you

Another thread on ferrarichat.com meet huh????
Humm last time the NSX's were there on STANFORD MALL.
But we found Zip Zero Nada Ferrari's.

just wondering if will there really be any ferrari's on this one..............
but thanks for the info anyway.
 
Mike, Thanks for the heads up on the meet. I'll plan to be there if I don't end up going to SoCal that weekend. I was at the Toys for Tots fundraiser last time and it was a good event - lots of toys for kids and lots of big toys for big kids.

Ariel,
You are right. There were no Ferrari's at the Toys for Tots event. Take a look at the current F-Chat thread. Here is a quote "yeah, I'm going, but I am going to take my SVT Contour rather than my dad's 328...he doesn't let me drive it often." This quote from F-Chat is an example of why you probably won't see any/many Ferrari's this time either.

Anyway, the event should be fun.
 
Ariel, I understand your frustration as we all came to see other exotics but none showed up. What you are looking for is something like this http://www.autozotica.com/ The last meet they had was 03, wonder if Ben/ Larry will ever host another EXOTICA drive :confused:

Anyone know what happened to them?

Those were fun meets and drives with true Auto Enthusiast :smile:
 
I think I'm going to this... I invited a friend to come, he has a viper though...
trying to convert... hehehehehe!!! :biggrin:
how many of us are going or at least thinking about it? :confused:
 
wont make it too.

i'm in if it is a different crowd than the last event held there a few months back.... ????

I don't know anything about the last one. But is there something I should be aware of?

Steve seeing the forums invited above...
looks to me will be the same crowd. :rolleyes:
 
WOW.. since when did NSX owners become such snobs? This is probably one of very few if not the only forum that doesn't have the attitude of "I'm too good for you" mindset. At least back when I used to own a NSX. :frown:
 
juejaimon said:
:confused:

Don't get me wrong guys... but how it was advertised last time... i was expecting to see exotics...... there were a lot of cars... but none as proposed.... :frown:

I agree.
 
While I'd like to see other exoctics as well, they're not showing up won't take away our spotlight if we show. Instead of half empty, it's half full!!! :biggrin:
