MAPQUEST DIRECTIONS

Everyone seemed to love this location last fall and since we've outgrown the more secluded areas of Stony Creek, I decided to move the spring bbq here. This parking lot is gigantic, we'll never run out of room. The pavilion is very large and right next to the parking, the only downside is the bathrooms are a hike. I guess these spots can't be 100% perfect.

There is a baseball diamond, basketball courts, a tot lot, bike trails and a large field nearby. Basically if you want, come prepared to play. Organize some basketball or a baseball game, bring a frisbee, whatever you want.

What is provided/expected of me?

As with every year, we provide the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns and the huge grill to cook them on. We ask that everyone pitch in a little bit and bring something. Pop, chips, cookies.. whatever. We've noticed a decline in participation for the past couple BBQ's so I'm pleading with people to please remember that without people bringing a 12 pack of pop, there's nothing to drink.

If you are unable to bring something.. please don't let that deter you from coming. I'm not out in the parking lot watching people to make sure they bring something and I certainly hope no one else is. The main concern is that you show up and have a good time.

Who is welcome?

EVERYONE! And I do mean everyone. I noticed that year after year, it's mainly sport compact guys that show up despite the fact that we have a lot of v8 and truck guys lurking about here. I encourage everyone to come out and have fun. Bring the wife and kids.. we try to keep things family friendly. It's a great day of eating, socializing and some hot cars to stare at as well.

The Raffle
There will be a raffle as usual. Tickets cost $1 and can be bought from our roaming ticket sales people throughout the day or right before the raffle begins. This is our main way of recouping the cost of the BBQ as well as cover some of our costs through the year so we rely on people to participate.

Any businesses interested in providing us with items to raffle are encouraged to PM me. I will plug your business enough times to make people sick of hearing your name

FAQ
Q. Can I bring beer?
A. We usually discourage this type of activity for a few reasons. First and foremost, we're a gigantic gathering of cars. No one at XceedSpeed condones drinking beer and then driving a car. Secondly, the park rangers are VERY aware of our presence and drive through our gathering constantly throughout the day. The less reason they have to stop, the better.

Q. Can I bring my dog??
A. Of course! We've had plenty of people bring dogs of all sizes. Just make sure you have the pooch on a leash and that it's not going to attack someone's poodle or something

Q. Is there a cost?
A. The only cost you will incur is the standard entry fee to the Metropark. I believe this to be $4 per car.

May is going to suck for me, I have a wedding to stand in one weekend, then the bbq the next, and another wedding the weekend after. So.... we have a bbq on May 19th or we have nothing
