oh man what a meet, Just got back right now.
First off all, sorry teg we lost u after we left Hooters. I don't know what happen, hope u found 99 easily.
This meet turned great and better than we expected. First we thought we'd be back in Fresno around 2-3 and eat at hooters but we didn't get to Fresno till 7:30. We had blast driving thru Yosemite and taking pics.
Again I want to thank Dennis (and his gf), Gary, Samir, Ronnie, MR1 (Mike and his friend), Khemer and ofcourse JEFF (allout) for making this happen.
I'll post my pics tomorrow, and others will too.
Stay tuned for video too.

Thanks to Jeff for bringing food to the park! That snack helped out a lot.
Gary needs to post the pic of Jatt with his arm around the hooters girl!

Although it wasn't a huge meet, it definately had more content than 95% of the other meets. The drive through Yosemite was awesome! 
I'll be back up there to take in the other areas we didn't catch.
It was my first time at Hooter's as well. I thought there would have been more Hooter girls running around.
Perhaps the g/f was acting as a repelant. 
Nice meeting some new faces as well as seeing some regular ones. For all the times Jeff and Jatt have made it up to the NorCal meets, the least I could do was make it down your way. I made it into San Jose in 1 hour 40 minutes, and to my house in a tad under 2 hours.
I gotta go through my pics now. I'll have them up soon.

Once we get some open roads, and straighaways, we haul ass. hehehehe. Glad you had Navi. Those are the times it comes in handy!!Yeah, thanks Jeff for the snack. Great idea to walk through that empty Costco.
It hit the spot. I tried eating as many as I could, but I was 
after 4.

on the content of this meet. Great drive, beautiful scenery, the company of true car enthusiasts, and some truely awsome machines - what more can you ask for? I personally enjoyed the day with everyone.I would have loved to see the faces of the people at the vista points at each end of the tunnel as 2 - Daytona Blue 350Z's, 2 - SC'ed CL-S 6's, Jatt's Bike, and Teg's New TSX thundered through. Just think - 1,600hp between us full throttle through that tunnel must have turned a few heads
Thanks to everyone that came out
Props to TEH Z YO, NSX-Tuner, TT Z YO, Teg_to_Bike for making the trek down for the meet. Thanks for making the extra effort to travel down for the visit.

Great Meet!!
Thank you Jatt and Jeff for hosting this meet. And especially for Jatt's persistence for putting this meet together and Jeff's forward thinking in picking up some eats before the Yosemite drive. That really did the trick and held all of us over until Hooters. I would also like to thank Jeff for his hospitality and his help on fixing my bumper. I vote Jeff as the MVP for this meet.
I thoroughly enjoyed the drive and hanging with you guys, as well as meeting some new people. For a small group, we had a fantastic drive and visit.
Now for some pics to help recap the memories:
The drive to Yosemite
Bridal Falls
Group Pic, Yosemite Valley
Yosemite Falls (where? I don't see any water)
Fern Spring
Dennis's G/F below... "Now where the heck is Dennis? I bet he's checking out some new mods on someone's car. These guys and the cars."
Hooters group pic
Hooters group pic as seen through the eyes of someone who's had too many shooters.
No meet would be complete without the official meet sandwich
Bumper ding
After Jeff the ding pro's handy work

Very Nice Pics Gary and Thanks again for coming down. Definitely a high quality meet that I would love to do again.
As I looked at the Group Pic at the Meadow, I was reminded of your observation. Instead of a Z Sandwich, this meet had a different Menu item - SC'ed CL-S6 Sandwich

Great pics man!
You guys did a great job on that bumper.
