On Saturday October 12th, the SoCal TPI group will be having our annual cruise up the mountain to Big Bear Lake.

We'll meet at Dyno Don's shop in Anaheim for those local to the shop. Plan on being at the shop by 8am and leaving shortly after 8.

2831 White Star Ave #A
Anaheim, CA 92806

Then we'll travel to the 210 Freeway and exit at Waterman Ave North to Wildwood Park for staging and last minute instructions.

4999 N Waterman Ave
San Bernardino, CA 92404

We plan on arriving at Wildwood Park around 9am. We'll start the cruise and head up the mountain on Highway 18 around 9:30am.

Our final destination will be a bar-b-q dinner at Logonita Lodge in Big Bear.

183 Lagunita Lane
Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

Once we arrive in Big Bear, feel free to explore the city at your leisure. In previous years we have gone on the Alpine Slide, or gone bowling, or just hung out at the lodge swimming or playing billiards. Dinner should be around 5pm but we will verify that soon. Dinner cost is $8 and includes unlimited hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, condiments, brownies, and lemonade.

Make sure to check your car over before the cruise, filling up with gasoline, water, and oil, as well as checking over your tires and suspension to make sure you're ready to go. Bring your walkie-talkies if you have them, so we can communicate during the cruise.

Plan on bringing a sweater or jacket as it will be cooler in October.

Please post below if you plan on coming, so we can let the lodge know to prepare extra food for us.

 

Anyone going bowling?

 

I can't bowl for ****, but I'll still bowl.

 

Hoping to make this. It would be myself plus one.

 

Count me for 2.

Nothing like a giant hill for me to test out my rebuilt trans (thanks don!)

 

Looks like we will be there unless the car decides otherwise. Looking forward to it.

 

Welp, apologies but another commitment has come up and I'll have skip this cruise. I'm hoping we can have something in the spring though. We haven't done one in a while. Hope yall have fun tho!

 

hey i was wondering if i can show up to the meet. i have a black trans am gta tpi.

 

Sure, love to have you, always great to meet new 3rd gen owners.

 

Of course you can come, anyone with any thirdgen f-body, or a non-fbody with a TPI engine can come. Our events are pretty much open and we welcome new people.

We have several requests to go bowling, how does that sound to everyone?

The event is this Saturday, so make sure to check your car over Friday night and get ready. You can meet us at Dyno Don's shop at 7:45am, or at Wildwood Park at 9am.

 

Bowling is good, see everyone at the park.

 

"We have several requests to go bowling"

I will do what I can. hahahahaha

 

Be sure to let us know your arrival time so we can know who to wait for.

Don't want to leave anyone behind.

 

Getting up at 6:30 I'm sleepy already.

 

If that was for us, we will be at the park at 9 or shortly after. We came down and are spending the night in Ontario.

 

This sucks... Both of my 3rd gens are down. One is in the paint shop and the other is getting a new engine.

 

I'm going to be a bit late; my car is in desperate need of an alignment so I need to get that done before I head to big bear.

 

I think I saw you going up while we were going down. BBQ was at 1:30. I left around 3:00 ~ 3:30. I saw a black 3rd gen Camaro anyway going up around that time.

 

"I think I saw you going up while we were going down. BBQ was at 1:30. I left around 3:00 ~ 3:30. I saw a black 3rd gen Camaro anyway going up around that time."

Yep, saw it to. I was wondering who's Camaro that might have been. It was probably closer to 4:00.

 

Yeah I missed it :/

 

Thanks guys, we had a great time.
