SSX Bay Area People
 

Alright, Let's all get together and make the trip. I've never been to one of this, but it would be great if we can get together and hang out as a group. So, start making plans and let's make it happen, C'mon Bay Area Represent....(got a little carried away)

I'm in... I might leave a day early since I volunteered to help out and they need us to show up early for setup/prep.

I've never been either. Of course I'm down!

i went last year and id really like to go again.

What's up Niel, how ya been? Hopefully you can make the trip with us.

What event? Im confused

Scionstock 10. It's going to be awesome!

What weekend is it exactly... Should we just do an 8 caravan or should we join up with the 7's.

WHAT IS SSX!?! If its dealin with Scions, im sooooooo going.

I normally run the Late Bay Area Caravan for the NorCal7 group that includes rotaries from almost every gen. And this year I will be driving the '8 instead of a 7. I start in the North Bay, but we have two stops to pick up people from South bay and Sac.

Last year we had over 50 cars in the Caravan at one point, but with personal radios (tuned to Channel 7) and multiple stops it seems to work out okay.

I'd love to cruise down with the 7's

Already planned on going, was just looking for the thread :D: I'm down if you guys want to do just an 8 caravan, otherwise we should just join up with the others.

Sounds like there will be a few more 8s this year. I think I'll be joining the late caravan.

Yeah, last year we only had two '8s but since I generally lead the Caravan and will be driving my '8 instead of my old vert I was hoping that we will have a more balanced contingent.

We even had a couple of 2's last year.

We generally don't open it up too fast, trying to keep the speed under the attention of the law enforcement.

What roads do you plan on taking to SoCal? 580 to the 5?

...man that sucks that i won't be there for the caravan/convoy, are you guys doing the same thing on the way back?

Hey guys, we should start making Hotel reservations now for those of us who are staying the weekend. David I don't think all of us are gonna fit in your mom's house. hehe

where do you guys plan on making reservations? doubletree?

yeah, that would be the one

I'm makin' a reservation just for SAT night...

We tried doing the return caravan a couple of times, but most people seem to just want to drive back at odd times.

I took the liberty of adding my name to the list at RX7club.com. See you all out there :)

^I tried to make a reservation using the SRX rate but I was told that it has all been booked =/ I even tried to get their military rates but again I was told that there were none available... I ended up bookin' a room for $139 + TAX ...no biggie, just means that the wifey and my daughters are gonne be on a cup o' noodles diet a little bit longer =D

Just borrow some garden fresh foods from Rob!!! hahaha.

Back to SSX, when and where is the pick up point in the south bay?

My parents can be a pit stop. I can have a few people sleep over, we have some comfy couches. It my moms b-day weekend too, just bring her a gift!

I got a room with 2 doubles, open to anybody who doesn't snore like king kong!

I'll need a place to sleep!

I stayed at the Ayres in orange when I went to Disneyland, wasn't bad at all. The Block (outdoors mall) is close by with some good places to eat and movies. I think the rate was $99

Dick, let me car pool with you down there!

You guys can find a place around Lakewood or Cerritos too. We'll meet up with the caravan at cerritos and drive with 50+ RX8's

I'll sleep in my car then and just use someone's shower in the morning. Tom you can ride down with me no problem.

Hmmm, sleep in the car. that could be comfortable. Ill even help out with gas.

Is anyone doing the dinner thing for 75 bucks or whatever it said?

if you and tom don't mind sharing a bed, you can use the extra bed in my room. but if you're not feeling the man love, then you guys can fight to the death for it and the dead guy will be on the floor or couch (if there is one, which I highly doubt)

Expedia.com and hotels.com are your friend ;)

Floor sounds good to me :). Thanks bro. I love the RX8 love. Maybe i wont sell it

Sweet I was down for the duel to the death but since Tom is afraid of his sexuality and also not as good of a fighter as me, he's conceded defeat and the bed is mine!

LOL! so its on then? We can carpool and we have a place to crash? SWEET!!!!!!!!

Lets see who gets the best MPG!

hahaha, so wait a second, are we leaving on a friday or saturday? and if friday, what time?

hmmm....it sounds very interesting. I may make a trip too? have to talk to the wife about it. But other than that, sound good.

well my caravan leave's the Tracy rest stop at 10am Friday, since the event starts Friday night and goes all day Saturday.

But there are multiple stops on the way for picking up others

So lets see who can leave for SSX and when can they go.

1. 8rotor8 - Friday night would be best, late night run. Pending on taking Friday off.

David, try to ask for friday off. I already have.

I will no worries, but I'd rather make sure before I commit to it.

I'm in...

i'm not sure yet but i might go. when is this again?

Bah I hate asking for days off. I'll try to get it though. I want to caravan with the big group :)

Damn it people add your name to the list:

1. 8rotor8 - Friday night would be best, late night run. Pending on taking Friday off.

2. Ever - Leaving Friday morning, off all weekend.

Dick, its up to you. Im down with whatever

I'm in Manteca, let me know when you want to roll.

SSX begins Friday sept 21st through Sunday 23. Guys I'll be totally worth it if a good # of us can have Friday off so we caravan with the bigger group.
