SoCal Vintage BMW Schedule & Announcements

Drivers -

Take a breath, we have lots of information to pass along.

Firstly, we have the schedules set for the next two drive events leading up to the SoCal Vintage BMW Meet on Saturday, Oct 20 - the fifth meet!

August 25 9 AM - Angeles Crest/Sand Canyon/Little Tujunga Canyon Run and BBQ (meet in Sunland)
September 22 9 AM - Glendora Mtn Run/Ireland Engineering-Vintage Motorsport Open House

Yes, the Angeles Crest Run is earlier this year, just how the schedules lined up this summer. As we have done in the past, the BBQ is free if you're already registered for the October 20 Meet. Otherwise its $10/person. There will be more info on these drives shortly.

Speaking of the SoCal Vintage BMW Meet, a couple of important matters to pass along. We've listened to our community's input and there will be some changes.

Since we now have so many vintage BMWs coming to the Meet, we will now have TWO entrances to the Woodley Park grounds. There will be a Vintage Entrance ('76 and back) at the usual entrance and a Classic Entrance ('76 and later) at the north end of the parking lot. Lanes will not be determined by pre-registration or cash payment, it will be by year. We feel this will be a more efficient and faster way for you to get in, get parked and enjoy the show. 4 lanes will double the number of entrance lines. Given this it will be much, much more helpful to us if you pre-register, and do so at the earliest time. This way we can have everything ready for as many people as possible and just check you off as you come in.

Having 25% of the attendees register in the last week and then have 75 cars drive up day of show to pay cash is where we get blindsided in trying to plan everything - goodie bags, food, staff, etc. We really worry that we'll run out of stuff if we don't have an accurate count. This year we are working on a very special goodie bag since this is a milestone show. Please pre-register and help us to make things as smooth as possible during the loading in of what is now one of the best loved BMW shows in the country - thanks to all of you.

Next - we will get TWO food trucks this year. We will get the food thing down!

Driver's Awards - This year we are instituting the policy that any car that has won in the previous two years will not be in the running for a Driver's Award - which as you know is selected by all of you. There are so many wonderful Vintage and Classic BMWs that come to the SoCal Vintage BMW Meet that we want to have as many of them recognized and acknowledged as possible. Plus so many of you want one of our trophies, we have to spread the joy! Those of you that have won in in the past, take a breather - you'll probably win again down the road....

Thanks
John & Jeff
