Early Early Warning: 2010 E30 Picnic Weekend June 26-27

Lance Racing · 10-09-2009, 02:46 PM

Got the dates set for the 2010 E30 Picnic. 9th Annual I think?

June 26-27, 2010

For sure one change in venue, possibly two.

The Sunday Picnic is moving to one of the lush green lawns at the LeMay Museum near Tacoma. I felt we have outgrown the Triple-X. The Trip-X is good for a car show of 100-150, but not for 240. And a change in scenery every so often is nice to keep things fresh.

If Griots Garage have their new headquarters finished, then the Saturday Tech Session will be at their new facility as well.

The new locations also allow us to push the date back further into June. This allows students to be out of school, allow a few more out-of-staters to consider traveling to the event, and better chance of good weather (though I hope this does not jinx the great weather we have usually enjoyed).

Performance BMW Magazine have already indicated they want to cover the event next year.

About time to get the E30 Picnic web site updated with a new countdown clock?

Planning to drive cross country to be there...

Beastolizer · 10-27-2009, 04:59 PM

And my countdown begins. My car better be ready by June.

Farbin Kaiber · 10-27-2009, 05:02 PM

I may have to attend.

Janderson · 10-27-2009, 05:10 PM

Requesting the days of work tomorrow.

I can't believe I'm not going to have a XXX burger and a root beer float at the picnic every year anymore.

You could always drive up there after the picnic, right?

So I find it funny how I currently live in Sammamish, which is next to Issaquah. I almost leased a condo which was basically walking distance to the triple X.

Soon, I will be relocating to Lacey, Wa, which is very close to the new picnic site...
