Feel free to discuss the event in this thread. I will post important info and what not in the main post.
Important Info:
TO CLEAR UP CONFUSION AND HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA:
In an attempt to make everyone happy I have apparently pissed some people off. Here's the deal. This will be a multi series caravan and not e30 only! We will be taking the I-5 and picking up those from the Spectrum Center and Tustin marketplace when we reach OC. Times are listed below on when we estimate to be passing a location. Be at these locations at least 30 minutes to an hour early or you may miss the SD caravan. I will have the lead drivers listed by Friday from these locations.
----
The meet is on May 19, 2012. There is the usual $20 admission or $10 walk in fee. As of now the main caravan will leave at 6:00am from UTC and pick up people on the way up. The drive is roughly a 2 and a 1/2 hour drive north. People may join us along the way and that is expected. The e30 part of the caravan from R3V and SoCALe30 will be going to their own area within the lot once we get to the Rose Bowl. Be sure to follow the lead cars posted below! I'll be at the UTC Caravan Spot in the Morning. If you would like to be a lead car and help coordinate people at the locations, please post below and I can add you to the lead car / driver list. All Lead Cars / Drivers should exchange numbers so Caravan's can be coordinated efficently.
Radio Channel:
Channel 5 will be used during the caravan for general talking / directions. Please listen to the lead caravan drivers.
To-do list for the caravan:
1) DO NOT GET IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM. <-------- Especially applies to the lead car driver and passenger(s)
2) Make sure everyone KNOWS or has a copy of the route that is being taken in case of accidental separation. That way they can catch up to the caravan if needed because they know which way you're headed.
3) Bring Walkie Talkies to keep in contact with everyone in the Caravan. Trust me, it's more enjoyable that way, especially spotting out the ricers. Good times.
4) Use the inner 2 lanes. We don't want to block people in a hurry nor get cut off by people merging onto the freeway.
5) Keep your distance, keep your eyes on the road, and be courteous to other people driving on the road. No need for Road Rage.
6) Make sure you have enough gas to get to your destination. If not at least have an agreed upon time/distance for when to make a pit-stop.
7) Have the number of at least one member in the caravan. If the worst should come to happen to you on the way to your destination (Accident,car break down or extremely lost) then you can inform that person of the situation and probably get some assistance.
8) Have Fun!!!!!
To-Do list for the event:
1) Bring $$$$$$$. There will be stuff for sale and you may find that super rare part you have been looking for.
2) If you bring a camera make sure to have alot of film/storage as well as extra batteries or a car charger.
3) Bring food / drinks! Food at the event will most likely be pretty expensive. We are most likely going to BBQ when we get there. That being said, a list of what everyone is bringing food / drink wise would be good.

What needs to be discussed:
What needs to be discussed amongst other things is if the LA caravan is going to meet up with the SD Caravan and cruise into Bimmerfest together. Please feel free to talk about that in this thread since I am going to be coordinating the SD Caravan. If you have Caravan info that you would like to add to this thread, let me know and I'll update the main post.

Pot Luck / Food and Beverages:
From what I've been told, last year mostly everyone brought some food / beverage along so we could BBQ at the event. When we get closer to the event we can decide on who brings what.
