SoWo 2015 BMW meet

[theseeker411]

Saturday, May 16h, at Noon

We're doing a BMW meet again this year at SoWo since last years proved to be pretty successful. This time however, it will be outside of the city limits. We'll be in the parking lot of the Brasstown Bald visitors center.There is a 5 dollar parking fee to enter the lot. Let's please try to be respectful while we're here, so no burnouts in the parking lot please. I don't want us to get kicked out of our spot like we did last year. Hope to see everyone there! There is no physical address to the visitor's center, so punch the following coordinates into your GPS.

I'm going to come do burnouts and let the cops handle it.

I like burnouts

This is the brasstown bald parking lot. It's is the highest point in ga. Up the road from this parking lot is the observation building. The view is amazing from this place. It's about 20-30minute drive from helen. The road up the mountain is a lot of fun, full of twisties. It is far away from any residential area as you can see and there is probably no one there to call the 5-0.

Really need some photographers at this location if we end up going. Ideal for a sweet shoot.

I throughly enjoy burnouts, but can we like save those for closing time. I really wanna be able to chat, take some photo, drink a beer before rifraf breaks out. A lot of people showed up late and I didn't make a round.

And let's try and keep it real by limiting burnouts to anything that whines, spools, or has more than one throttle body please. I was not impressed with the stock zhp burnouts.

Open for other suggestions too.

Brasstown Bald looks really good Jon.

As far as meet up time, I'm thinking noon on Friday till ??? Kind of ***** that I missed the actual show at SoWo last year because we held the BMW meet on Saturday.

Yeah, maybe Jon. Guess we'll just keep the date and time for noon on Saturday.

Although I did just check the event grounds map for this year and it looks like the SoWo organizers decided to bring back the "other euro" parking section on their main show field. So now I'm wondering if we should even have a separate meet that runs at the same time as their show.

Bro, fly down. Or do what I'm doing and drive.

Personally out of respect for the show with having an other euro section offered I wouldn't plan a meet that coincides.

I didn't even make it to the show field last year... I'd rather just hang out with friends in town. I feel like that's where most of the unique cars are too anyways...

Agree 100% I did a walk through on the field, check em and was around town talking in random parking lots and having beers. Was more impressed with the cars around town.

Don't you have to pay for field spots? The year before last I felt like the other euro section was like back of the bus shit; you guys get back corner exit gate. I really liked then bmw meet last year as it was much more personable and felt like a hideaway from the mainstream event. A destination rollout kinda gives a sense off exclusivity. I dunno.

Find a way. Your car will make it.

I also feel like a large amount of SoWo attendees are now staying for the full 3 day weekend, if not longer. While it may bring down the attendance of the BMW meet a little, holding it in Friday also keeps us from stepping on the toes of the SoWo organizers that brought back the other Euro field section.

Friday meets make me sad, because I likely won't be able to come
