Does anyone have pics from last years meet? Count me in for the next one...as long as it's on a weekend....

 

Missed the meet last year. This year i will definitely make the TI meet. Please keep us informed about the TI meet. I'm sure majority of us are anxious about it.

You could meet some of us next weekend. We're doing a North Bay run; we have an East Bay caravan too meeting up in Emeryville. Why don't you come out? We'll be riding with fellow G owners as well.

Hello, Guys and gals, since I don’t have 350Z and my G35 will be gone shortly, so I don’t want to over step my boundaries here and not looking to step on someone's toes, But I would like to offer my help to get TI meet going for this year (4th annual?)… If there is no problem with me doing so? Here are my initial thoughts on this event, please let me know what you think as time and date is tentative and also please put your name on the list if you are interested in this event.

Date -- Saturday Sept. 30th

Time -- Meet up at BJ’s/Red Robins at 11am and leave for the drive at 2:30pm after short lunch break.

Basically same route as previous meets, stop by Pier 30 for some nice pics opportunity with Bay bridge as back drop.

Pre-meet drive -- Hopefully HyperSprite willing to set one up for this meet.

Caravan -- Hopefully someone will step up and set one up at each locations( N.B/S.B/E.B. and perhaps SAC as well)

Just a head's up... at the last meet, Red Robin pretty much had the entire back parking lot area to themselves. This made it a lot easier to fit 100+ cars there.

However, since then, a BJ's restaurant has opened up next door. If any of you went last year, their building was actually under construction at the time.

We were able to tape off a significant portion of parking at the last meet, but we definitely won't be able to do that this year.

Who knows how big this meet will be, but if it's anything like the last one, we're gonna have some parking trouble.

 

Thanks for the heads up, Yes the praking might be an issue with BJ's/Mimi's/*****'s BBQ now been completed, depends on the interest of this meet, we could always move the meeting location to somewhere else, like Stadford shopping center or simply making TI as starting point, but I am open to any and all suggestions to make this event happen.

 

why was there so much traffic last year? was there a giants game that day?

 

Traffic was due to both games and work on the bridge, it was ugly.

I'll do the SF run again, I have some changes I am making to make it a little better

Chris

 

yeah chris, ure early morning drive was awesome. those booklets were sweeeet.

any chance of a mt hamilton run again? that was fun too.

 

Just a heads up... the meet should be on a sunday since most shops (Audio, Tint, Z Shops. etc...) are open on saturdays and sunday is the only day they can come out, and part of the purpose of Treasure Island meet is to get to know the shops/vendors that are available in NorCal. Plus they donate the raffle items (hehe)...

 

John, I think you should volunteer again this year to tape up the parking lot.

 

+1 on getting SAC involved....

 

shane-
why are you getting rid of the G?

 

Thats just yet, I am not very well at all around here and I do not know many shop's owners, so it would be very difficult for them to come out if I was lone organizer for this meet. Heck, most of you wont even think about come out to this meet, because most of you dont know me, let alone shop owners , I am just try to get the ball rolling and I was hoping that someone else who is bit more well know in 350Z community might want to step up to get this meet upto the pass standards.

 

No particular reason really, I barely drove the G, only put on less than three thousand miles this year so far, since I change cars pretty offten (2nd G35 already) so I thought I would get rid of it now, while the resale value is still high and put some money away for my next car , but I should be back in Nissan family sometime in late 08 when the new G35 coupe has been released for lil while

 

Okay guys...I'm going to jump on this to help get this thing organized. Here are some key factors we need to square away first BEFORE we can kick this off...

* First of all, the original location of where we usually have the meet (Red Robin in San Mateo) will now be more difficult to park due to the opening of BJ's Restaurant next door. Last year, it was still in construction which allowed us to occupy both lots but will not be the case this year. Therefore, we will need to either find a new location w/ enough parking OR contact the property manager & work out a spot in that location to be reserved for this event. If it's anything like last year, we'll need at least enough to cover 200 cars max (over estimated but better safe then sorry).

* As Z-INCOGNITO mentioned, since there will be vendors attending...it will need to be held on a Sunday in order to maximize the amount of vendors attending. Now there was some talks & it was suggested that this be held in early October due to the amount of planning it will take. Any sooner may run into organizing issues & any later may run into weather issues.

* We will need to start a list of responsibilities of who will be in charge of key areas since this is a large scale event:

- Restaurant Location & Parking: Ensures location is secure with property/parking management & adequate parking is available. Oversees parking of attendance.
- Treasure Island: Ensures location is secure with property/parking management & adequate parking is available. Oversees parking of attendance.
- Restaurant Reservations: Ensures reservations are made & all atendees are accounted for. Works closely with restaurant management.
- Vendor Attendance & Raffles: Responsible for gathering vendors to this event & closely works with them in working out any raffle prizes, donations, promotional items, etc...
- Attendance Admin: Administrates MAIN list & takes metrics of #cars attending, #Z's, #G's, #other, etc...Works closely with Convoy Leads & Restaurant Reservations.
- Itinerary: Manages event activities timeline & ensures proper flow of event.
- Convoys: Each location...Sac, North Bay, East Bay, South Bay, Monterey, Peninsula, SF, etc...will all need to setup convoys. Therefore, we will need to find someone in charge of each location. Once that is established, each lead can start a seperate list for their convoy & also ensures that whoever is on their list is also on the main list. Some leads may work with others to combine on their trip so that they may all come in as one group.

As you can see, this is not one of those walk in the park meets. This will take A LOT of planning. I'm actually going to be in talks with the original organizers to see how this will all work out but this is still all uncertain at this point.

 

^^^ Cool to see someone else willing to get this meet going , I will try to coordinating the G35 side, of course, if there is anything else I can do to help with this event? let me know.

 

 

Hey Everybody,

We are working on it. Pls. be patient. We will let you know.
