It's less than a week to our annual Bay Area shark picnic, and I thought I'd put out a reminder.

The event starts on May 7, 2011 at 10AM, and runs into the afternoon. BBQ lunch is provided by Bill Ball and his team of BBQers. Bring your family and your shark!

Norcal928 Event Info

The event is free, but voluntary donations to the Bill Ball 928 support fund are always appreciated. For details, please see me at the event.

You can find us inside Tilden Park. Enter from Shasta road, and make a sharp left turn onto Wildcat Canyon Road (at the Brazil Building). Proceed 100 yards to the Island picnic and rest area.

Full Map of the park

Who is planning to attend?

If you are interested in meeting near Fremont around 9AM and caravaning to the event, please PM me.

Thanks, Nicole. I'm sending out an email blast tonight too. Also, it appears we will be having several extraterrestrial visitors from SoCal and parts unknown. Weather looks good. And if I can finish tuning my new suspension, the ride should be even faster. A testride today was VERY promising. Just need to get the rideheight up about 15mm.

Cool! I look forward to meeting/seeing the extraterrestrials and their UDOs (Unidentifiable Driving Objects).

I might bring a few things from the Hooked On Cars store - if anyone needs specific items, let me know.

I'm in too! Exciting-my first foray to a 928 event as well-very much looking forward to seeing some well sorted cars and gleaning some knowledge.

Very tempting.....I could leave my truck at your place on maybe Thursday evening and return the 928 on Sat after SITP.....

Its either that or borrow Simons 82 that lives in my rental house until summer....thats probably the easiest.....Since I need to put a battery in it anyway!
