First off I would like to thank you all for supporting and participating at our last event MFEST last March 7-9 and the WheelPower bbq meet last April 20th ...And due to the overwhelming response and request to do another event this special we were inspired to do it AGAIN (this year only)... For the guys who have been to our meets, you already have an idea on how we do it (GBOGH) and for those who missed some of our events, your missing alot!...We are laying out the ground work and what not for this event including HOTEL RESERVATIONS and we want to keep the same theme/ vibe "Camaraderie"... we have thought of different dates and the best dates we have so far is Aug. 29-31 (Sept.1 is labor day)... as i know some of you have family plans during the holidays hence the reason why we are posting the dates early so you can make appropriate arrangements and hopefully be able to attend our humble event ( you can even bring the family along for some fun)...We will walk you thru as we progress on the schedule of events and trust me this is another event that you wouldn't wanna miss...again i thank you all and hope to see new and old faces

There will be a car competition $$$ prizes and trophies will be given out, and we welcome the team and crew to show as there will also be a best in team/ crew competition aswell...

As my signature says below, I have made a final table at a World Series of Poker event. I run a rather large monthly tournament in San Jose area. If we want a poker tournament to be part of such an event, I can bring the chips, cards, and timing computer.

My excuse for going to Vegas -- is my inlaws live there. So of course my wife would always be willing to go -- and it's my B-Day weekend.

put me down for sure

Here is the link on one of the bigger Norcal contingent..., one of their ideas too is check in, in L.A and go with us with the huge caravan or leave early a.m straight to Barstow...pm Emperor and coordinate with him...

6:30 PM -- Meet in Gilroy @ Walmart parking lot
7:00 PM -- Leave Gilroy
10:30 PM -- Arrive in Bakersfield. Wait for any Bakersfield contingent.
11:00 PM -- Leave Bakersfield towards Barstow.
1:00 AM -- Arrive in Barstow. Sleep.

Or if others can leave earlier, we could move this up two hours to meet at 4:30 instead of 6:30 for an 11:00 PM arrival in Barstow.
