**We need some drive leaders for this meet. If you are interested in helping m3dragon with the drive please email m3dragon at events@mode6online.com or PM him**

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. m3dragon 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 (m3dragon is 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. m3dragon 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. m3dragon is sure that we will continue to get bigger with every meet and m3dragon is 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, m3dragon is trying to make sure we avoid such incidents and make sure they never happen again.

FYI.
* m3dragon is currently working on track day. Once m3dragon gets the final info on cost m3dragon will post the details for everyone.
* m3dragon is 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 m3dragon have only so much time in a day. Thank you.

BTW. For you vendors, you can come out and advertise at the event. But you must email m3dragon and not post. Those are his the rules. Don't kill the messenger.

just giving you guys heads up...theres gonna be alotta exotic cars out here and alotta older gentlemen...so if your going to attend..NO HORSING around..

This sounds fun but where is this drive going to, just some place or route to drive after the lunch?

cgrx 03-05-2005 01:49 PM

thats a lot of forums........

Moostafa29 03-05-2005 07:51 PM

Anyone got a radio they want to loan me?

Zoomy 03-12-2005 10:13 PM

Lets see, I have a Motorola TalkAbout. Is this what is meant by a "2-way radio?"

Is the March 26th an all day event? How about giving a little info on where the runs will end. How long? Should I bring my parka?

KrazieKave 03-13-2005 01:38 AM

yes.. indeed... what city are the routes gonna be in... and whats the street address for that mall?

Xyntax 03-13-2005 12:31 PM

To answer those questions, please refer them to events@mode6online.com

... I'm only pasting this here from another site. I'm not even sure if I could join this, but I thought you guys might.

Zoomy 03-14-2005 12:55 AM

KrazieKave, since I'm familiar with the area, Stanford Shopping Center is in Palo Alto...as in Stanford University. Funny how many posters assume everyone knows the details huh? I plan on showing up just to see what its all about. I'll bring my video gear just in case something exciting happens.

brothervoodoo 03-19-2005 08:39 PM

I'll be going to check this one out, thedosdog mentioned he is up for it as well.

TheDosDog 03-19-2005 10:11 PM

Yes, I'll be there. Now that spring is here it's time to start planning some runs. Maybe we can throw around some ideas at the meet. I'm up for another wine cruise and a coast run. But another Ryer Island road race will probably land one of us in jail :)

mrtux 03-21-2005 02:08 AM

supposedly going to be raining on that day

Xyntax 03-22-2005 09:20 PM

If weather permits, I'll probably go to this event, but not the drive...

TheDosDog 03-23-2005 10:11 PM

It's looking like the weather is going to give us a break so maybe the turnout will be decent. I have a couple of extra radios I'll bring if someone wants to borrow one. Shall we say channel 8?

Loaded8 03-25-2005 02:55 AM

I might try to make it to this one since the weather seems to be improving, not sure I feel like washing the car though... :-( !!! Dos if I can't dig up a radio I might want to borrow one of yours, will any of the common two-way radios work?

Here is a map showing the runs planned.

HI, In case you check the board before you leave... I am planning on attending. I will drive up to the gas station (the wrong way, lol) and meet you guys so we can drive down together. I have a set of radios and my car should be somewhat less than filthy!!

See ya in the am. I don't know how many miles that whole drive is but hopefully we can make it on a tank, I'll fill up before we leave hickey. :D

Xyntax 03-26-2005 11:24 AM

I'll be there but won't be able to attend the drive. I have to be somewhere after 1pm :(

blksf8 03-26-2005 08:48 PM

Moostafa29 03-26-2005 10:28 PM

Wish I could have made it, but had a wedding to go to. You know what they say about meeting chicks at weddings, so I had to decide which is more important.
