I have been a member of both Acurazine and Club RSX for many years and attended meets and functions for both Acura Sites for years as well, My post went up prior to to the few of you that are against other Acura's attending the All Cali Event.
I am also the sponsor for the All Cali Event in Fresno, my apologies to any of you narrow minded folks who feel Club RSX members would ruin, I am sure they will gladly join Acurazine to be able to meet and enjoy an afternoon with other Acura Owners and enjoy seeing and meeting with us all.

The whole point is that we are planning something from "our group," and not for lots of random people outside of "our group."
We are planning this for a certain amount of people at a specific park and cannot afford to exceed it, and therefore we need rules as to how we go about inviting people.
We just don't want people to take advantage of our meet is all. I'm sure the people who are sharing food don't want random people who are not in "our group" to be walking up and taking what should belong to us members here at Acurazine.
And, it's not your place to go about inviting other groups without the groups conscent.

since its been about 12 years since the 97 CL first came, i hope i'm not gonna be the lone 1st gen CL going to the all-cali this year..last year i think we only had 4 or 5 and i think the first year they had 5 or 6? i know as the years pass that our cars are getting older and there are less out there, but i'll still rep for the 1st gens!

Although I have no problem with Acura people going, the problem is that We (acurazine members) are the ones putting this whole thing together. Then somebody feels the need to bring in other car clubs to take advantage of what we planned.

I know guys that have very nice rides (acura's) that are not members of this forum. I intend to invite them. I've yet to see one of these meets have so many people that is has been a problem inviting others.
It is an interesting argument coming from a guy who drives a subaru

Who cares if he drives a Subaru or not? Have you been to cartalk? There's plenty of Acuraziners who have moved on, away from their acuras and stay on the board...

To Rescuer/Fireman Bill and CrazyAsanti:
I seem to have affended you two the most, I assure you I am at Least 30 years Old, Not Narrow Minded, and have attended many Car Shows and Events.
I had the pleasure of meeting one you last year at the All Cali ACURA Event in Pismo, you came in a SUBARU, Crazy have not had the pleasure of meeting you because you did NOT attend the last meeting Central Cali or the ElkGrove meet in Sac, perhaps you WILL attend the BBQ this weekend in Fresno.
Being an ACURA enthusiast, I never would have imagined that we all would not want to meet other ACURA lover's and marvel over there Rides, As previously stated in a previous post I believe it was Rescuer on the best SUBARU meets he had been to had over 300 cars attend in Oregon
I apolgize that I had assumed that all would not want other Acura's to attend, to admire the Acurazine Ride's, for us to learn and appreciate other's Acura's. A special apology to you two Simple, Narrow minded gentlemen. Hope to see you both at the All Cali Event

First off, stop calling myself and others narrowminded. It's stupid and offensive. Along with the Fireman bill bullshit.
ChicoOG, check out my reg date. I am OG, you are not.
Many people here no longer have their acuras, so don't be a fool and try to insult me like that. So why bring that into it?

im not offended in anyway..i was just concerned about too many cars and random non acuras showing giving fresno a bad rep. im all for inviting others, but they do need to contribute. im just worried if things DO get out of hand, then people will look at fresno as a bad place when people gave us the chance to organize a meet. i dont want the reputation of 'hey, theres those fresno guys who cant plan a decent meet' is all. i want this to be a great meet, i really do. i originally suggusted fresno a couple months back and nobody except for triod and loonatix had my back. now we have the chance to prove to everyone that we CAN throw a great meet.. thats all i want. and i do apologize for not meeting you at the last meet, as i had some lighting problems with my hids. i look forward to meeting you at our local meet, as long as we dnt let this planning stuff get to us-bryan

The 300 car subaru meets were in regards to park size and handling more than capacity.
The "best ACURA" meets were the west coast meets in oregon.
Next time get your facts straight before attcking me because i no longer drive an acura, because now you look foolish.

I knew someone would flame out about that...I said that for no other reason than to f*7K with someone, it worked
just messin'The main point, let's get as many acura's to the meet as possible. I'm not interested in being part of an up tight, let's all shave our heads to show our unity, kind of deal...loosen up, relax a little...in the scope of world events, it's just a car meet. If someone takes some of my chips and dip, I think I'll survive.
This thread will/should be close.

Reg. date = whether or not you are OG...o.k, if you say so...seems to confirm the "small minded" assessment.
You have to have something better then that
By the way, it's been an intense week...so,I am blowing off steam...nothing personal, just messin' with you. That being said, I do think it should be open to as many acura owners as possible.

Honestly...This might not be the meet for you guys who are reppin' this to other Car Clubs/Forums.
People that are true Acurazine members are not going to come in full attendance.
It isn't about getting as many Acuras from the web to show up in Fresno!!!
It's about OUR "All-California Acurazine" crew! [Regardless...if you still have an Acura or not]
WTH is so hard to get about that?
This isn't a CAR SHOW!
You guys are trying to plan it like one...why?
The people this meet is supposed to serve are not going to come...trust me.
I know I won't...if it continues going that way.
I understand that you want to make it the largest showing of Acuras and your intentions are good.
Again...this is not the "meet" for it.
No more insults because you will be losing a lot of respect from other members.
Just keep it cool...

If you want to get a mass acura meet, this meet is NOT the place to do it..
Why do a lot of people want this to be an EXCLUSIVE Acurazine meet? Well I'm not sure if you went last year, but if you did, you'd know that it didn't turn out great. A few people from socal tried to get everyone together, using the microphone, but it was unsucessful. We also did a small ScratchX demonstration, and I saw a few Norcal people come out and join us. But overall, the All Cali meet had Socal and Norcal separated. The only real time everybody got together was for food. I know a good amount of people were disapointed with the interaction between the two groups. See, that's the problem with having big meets... there's so many people to meet, and it causes headaches for some people, so they don't bother to meet new people. It's also really hard to remember everyone's name, but you would probably remember their cars. So what if you will only see a lot of people only once a year or so? The purpose of the all cali meet is to meet all kinds of different people, and enjoy yourselves.
So Instead of having a repeat of last year, and causing more mayhem by having people from other random forums, we should not be inviting anyone else. Acurazine and Acurazine only. The main focus should be trying to get Acurazine members to interact a bit more with other fellow Acuraziner's. After all, why have an all Acurazine meet if you're going to drive so far out, and not enjoy the time you spend there?

I thought that was a great idea...not everybody participated.
How else would we know who is who...that's the easy way to "break the ice."
This is a great meet to attend and lots of cool people I met last year that are good friends of mine now.

i agree with you guys on this..we could try name tages again..so lets make up our minds.. i say az only..us fresno guys are having a meet on saturday and we will discuss plans for all cali..theres a handful of us that want every acura in cali to be here and theres us that want az only..this will be my first big meet and based on everyones experience, i think it would be safe to say that this meet will be for acurazine only..i think i/we kinda pissed off our sponsor so i will try to adress things with him on saturday. let me know/pm me if theres anything in particular that you would want us to adress-bryan

I say Acurazine only.... if you read my long post.
If you want to do some more research, go through last year's recap threads and see their responses... you'll see a pattern.

This meet isn't about the sponsor, it's about our group of people wanting to have our yearly meet.
If that sponsor/shop owner/whatever wants to have a BBQ for his business, then he can feel free to do that. However, this meet is an Acurazine members meet. If a sponsor wants to be a part of it and graciously contribute, then that's great, but it's still our meet, not his.
Notice how many people still voted for Nipomo? There is nobody sponsoring that and yet people want to go. We all just want a relaxing time at a good location with our fellow community.

Obviously some of you don't understand the "AcuraZine" part of "All Cali AcuraZine Meet."
If you want to invite other Acura owners/enthusiasts, then please plan a separate/different meet.
Here are a few reasons off the top of my head why this is for AcuraZine members only.
1. The location/parking lot may not be big enough for everyone if we were to just invite any Acura owner/enthusiast. If we invite other Acura owners/enthusiats, chances are that they'll end up bring other people with them.
2. Inviting non-AcuraZine member to join the meet will make the organizing process difficult. For instance, how are we going to know what they're going to bring if they're not members here and participating? For that matter, how are we going to know if they're going to bring anything at all (i.e. freeloaders)?
3. The goal of this meet is not for it to be the biggest Acura meet. It's for us "AcuraZine" members to meet one another. IMO it's kinda pointless to meet someone from another forum and then never hear or talk to them again.
4. The more people that show up, the harder it's going to be to keep things under control. Like at other meets, someone's going to want to show off (speed, do burnout, rev engine loudly.... etc.) and draw attention to the group. We don't need the police harassing anyone/everyone... especially those people with modified cars. We don't need the police stopping people and checking to see if they have stolen parts, issue fix it tickets,... etc.
5. As pointed out by Eric (onebadna1nsx), last years meet was kinda :ghey: because there were so many people who just stayed in their own groups. The more people there are, the more likely people are going to just hang out with their own friends.

Another reason-
Revving. We've had one or two bad apples at the Acurazine Irvine BBQ(which happened recently) revving their motors... even when I yelled don't rev. I guarantee you, with 20174280157152 Acura's and other cars, there will be quite a few people revving for no apparent reason. Maybe even burnouts or peeling out. We don't really need the extra attraction from police.. We'd already be easy prey anyways. Having lots of cars , we will probably be holding up traffic, etc.
