Anyone going to be there? Im planning on going, it will be my first time at any auto x or driving event and im really excited! Trying to get everything with me and the car in order last minute though haha. I have a question for those of you who have been to one, what can I do with all the stuff in my car? I'll leave as much home as I can, but things like a quart of oil, etc. that I like to keep in there? I friend of my who is also on the forums and is a BMWCCA member is going to come to watch and hang out, how will it work for him, where can he park? Hope to meet some of you there!

You can leave the stuff in your car wherever you park. And I'd imagine your friend can park with all the other cars.

I'll be there!! You can pretty much leave your stuff, no one will touch it. Make sure to leave your floor mats at home! Your friend, if he brings a helmet, can pretty much jump in with anyone willing to take him. Which most people are :)

Sounds great! Really no floor mats either? I suppose that makes sense, eliminates the possibility of jamming them under a pedal or something, its good to be extra safe. Thanks for the info, I cant wait to get there. I'll look for you in a red 135i I take it? Looks like a fun car, should be a great day!

clean out your glove box, too. i'd recommend bringing a large plastic bin and/or a tarp to store/protect your things from the elements.

Are you a BMWCCA member? If not, become on - if yes, then register with the Boston Chapter. You'll have access to the website which will list all events, and you'll also get email blasts if you choose.

The Roundel Magazine alone is worth the 40 bucks a year.

The one I went to in July, they had us take out floor mats, that's why I mentioned. um... I think we got there around 7:15ish. You can get there early so you can set-up/clean-out/ and tech your car. It's also fun to see what other cars show up. btw, yeah I have a red 135 :) I think there might be 2 of us in the Sedona Red that show up though.

I will be there doing early setup, I plan on getting there 6:30 ish, gates open then, please don't get there any later than 7:15 - 7:30 latest, that way you can get teched and ready for the meeting and you won't hold anyone up.
