So....Is anyone interested in forming a formal NSXCA Chapter for the Bay Area?

whoa.........just saw this thread.

I remembered seeing another thread about this issue and advising my interest. I was told by Steve that I actually live in the Sacramento chapter area (Tracy) but to be honest I am much more familiar with the Bay Area having lived in HMB, San Leandro and Hayward most of my time here and I have already met a few of the Bay Area guys so I would be more interested in a Bay Area chapter. So count me in as another person who would like to join up.

I cant make the meeting this Saturday (out of town) but I was wondering if there is going to be someone taking minutes so those of us who cant make it will at least know what was discussed.

Looks like you guys are well on your way to starting the Bay Area Chapter. 25 people already for your informal forming meeting.

Not trying to spilt hairs ...but it's 30 that have shown interest so far. I know of one or two that have an interest but haven't posted.
 
Ends up I won't be tracking this weekend so I'll just see all of your shining faces instead. Oh, BTW... everyone showing up is an NSXCA member already (or prepared to sign up at the meeting), right? (HINT)

Nice addition, J. :smile:

Although I'm already a SAC member, I wish I could make it out just to see everyone again.

Why not? You can caravan with TK, but if he decides to take the scenic route, then you should probably go on your own :biggrin:
 
still have room @ the table? if so, i believe i can make it to the meeting. i'm an nsxca member.

hal

Hal,

It would be great to see you there.

Carinos doesn't take reservations usually but I asked them to set aside the room for us. I told them it would be approximately 20 people.

Can you guys let me know if you plan on bringing anyone else. I need to let the restaurant know so they can accommodate us..

thank you Endless for letting me know.
 
I'm in.

what a huge turnout this will be and how much bigger it could have been if we all went!

I ended up not having to work tomorrow but I'm heading to Tahoe (Squaw Valley) in the a.m.

So please take lots of picture for those of us who can't make it!

With a 60% chance of showers, I am pretty sure most of us will be driving our daily drivers, I know I will.
 
I'd be willing to support a formal "Silicon Valley" chapter, which could encompass SF et al. The "SF Bay Area" moniker is so last century...

Hi Ted,

Will you be there tomorrow?

The Chapters moniker is one of the items we plan to discuss.

Thanks for asking Carlos but it's Chinese New Year so unfortunately (vis-a-vis NSX stuff) I have to head out of town to visit with the family. I trust you folks will do the right thing nonetheless!
