Chicagoland: NOTFWD's first meet of the 2008 season! 4/19/08
Hey there EVOM, I know some of you guys are already on NOTFWD.com (formerly JGTCA.com, but we've decided to include our Euro and US brethren), but we're always looking for new members!
NOTFWD.com: For all enthusiasts and fans of all RWD and AWD vehicles!
For those who want to come, but can't make it, no worries! We meet every Saturday!
Okay this is our first meet of the year, but because of the threat of rainy weather, make sure you check this thread before heading out on Saturday afternoon!!!!
WHEN: Saturday April 19th, 2007
SCHEDULE:
4:30-5:30PM Meet & Greet (feel free to show up earlier and get a good spot as well as something to eat)
5:30-7:30PM Touring & Pictures
DARK-UNITL? Aftertour (again this may not happen if it gets butt cold out after dark)
WHERE:
Visit www.NOTFWD.com for more info!
DO NOT DRIVE LIKE AN @SSHAT WHILE YOU LOOK FOR US OR ARE WITH US. ALSO: NO BURNOUTS. NO REVVING. NO "DRIFTING". NO STEREO BLASTING. NO LITTERING.
Here are the meet rules:

Here are the drive/tour/cruise rules (being developed all the time):

If you don't have one already, bring an FRS (e.g. Motorola Talkabout) radio that can do privacy/security channels. You'll have a much better time during the cruise.
If we get a big turnout for the drive, we can't hope to keep 30+ cars together as one group. Traffic and lights will interfere. The only way to keep everything together is to split things up into smaller groups led by people who know the course well.
Remember: You are responsible for what you do behind the wheel and on your bike!

Here's more information on the radios...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service
http://www.gmrsweb.com/codetable.html <- CTCSS/Privacy/Security code translation table
Whatever brand you get, make sure it's got the CTCSS/Privacy/Security codes so you can talk with us.... so far the three interoperable brands appear to be Cobra, Midland, and Motorola. (Their privacy/CTCSS codes match).
Cheaper FRS radios only have channels 1-14. FRS radios with the CTCSS/Privacy/Security sub-channels have channels 1-14 with subchannels 1-38 in each main channel, ala 1^1-1^38 - 14^1-14^38.
You can still listen into conversations on equipment that doesn't support subchannels, but you can't speak/broadcast.

- when it's time to cruise, line up in the shortest line of cars. This will help even out the groups and help everything go smoother. Pretend you're at the checkout lane in the grocery store
- Know which car is leading your group and follow THAT CAR wherever they may go.
- The group leaders will be pointed out in the driver's meeting before we leave.
