Lake Tahoe Drive August 4th

m3dragon · Wed, Jun-13-2012, 06:37:11 PM

Hello All,

It is Lake Tahoe time again. Date is set for August 4th, 2012

Meeting spot is in El Dorado Hills:
Date: 8/4/12
Where: Starbucks, 4311 Town Center Boulevard, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762
Time: 8:30am
Depart: 9:00am on the dot to beat traffic

This is drive is one of those everyone looks forward to throughout the year. This year I am offering a few options unlike years past. Some people will be trekking from the bay or just do not want to drive that much in one day, so I have called and arranged a group rate at the Quality Inn and Suites. If you chose to do a stay overnight here is the information.

Quality Inn and Suite Lake Tahoe
3838 Lake Tahoe Blvd., South Lake Tahoe, CA, US, 96150
Phone: (530) 541-5400

Rate is $100 for the night if we hit 10 rooms or more. If not it is $180 for the night. If you call for a room, let them know you are with the EuroSunday group and you will get the discounted rate if we hit 10 rooms.

Lunch will be at the Lake Forest buffet at Harris Casino in Nevada. As I say every year, food is OK but the views are awesome. After lunch there is, the South Lake Tahoe Hot August night event going on we can check out before the drive home.

ETA back to Sacramento would be between 4 and 6pm. This is an estimate but as usual, you can leave at any time.

bump for the event. Currently there are 2 of the 10 rooms booked. We need to hit 10 people for the discount rate. You do NOT need to stay at the hotel to go on this drive. This is just a option if you wish to take it.

Bump. I talked to the manager and he has said he has no calls for rooms on the date. Make sure if you are doing the over night option to say you are with the EuroSunday group. We need 10 rooms to get the discount.

I'll be starting a thread at the end of the week in order to organize a South Bay caravan to El Dorado Hills.

Hello All,
I am back so bumping the threads to remind people the drive is coming up soon. Please remember if you are doing the “group” overnight option to call soon and book your room. I know there are some participants staying the night but have their own accommodations. It sounds like there will be a good group of you for those who will be staying the night.

I will be leading the drive there and back as the wife and I cannot stay overnight unfortunately.
And those who were wondering.. Yes I am bringing the 1M on this drive.

Reminder the drive is this coming Saturday. If you are doing the overnight option, remember to call in ASAP.

Note I have a new email address as yahoo kept flagging my emails as spam. New email is norcal.drivers@gmail.com if you wish to be added to my drives list.

BAY AREA CARAVAN

First I like to note I am not leading a bay area caravan to Ed Hill. As this is on multiple threads I figure I offer a idea for everyone to meet up.

Meet at the Peets Coffee at: 5959 Shellmound Street #85, Emeryville, CA
LEAVE there no later than 7:10am
Google said 1:44 to get to Ed Hills but there will be no traffic so speeds will be faster. That should put you there by 8:30am when everyone else will be arriving.

See some of you Sat =)

Thursday reminder thread bump. Please email directly if you have any questions as I most likely will not be on the forums tomorrow.

Great to see a lot of you for the Tahoe run. We had about 45 cars go on the drive which was more than i was expecting. This made for some logistics issues and a few people missed a turn to continue to the "fun section" of the drive. Overall great mix of cars from BMW, Porsche, Ford GT, Lotus, Viper, R8, and even a McLaren mp4-12c came out.

Please send me images so I can make a album to share with everyone across the forums and my email list.

I am planning the next drive for the weekend of the 18-19th. I am not sure which day yet but I will as usual start a new thread as well as send a email to those on my drives list.
