SoCal Picnic Sat July 27th

On Saturday July 27th we will be having our annual picnic in the park.

But we are doing things a little differently this year. A couple of NorCal friends are making the drive down here to have me dyno-tune their cars. That will be at our usual place at MD Auto in Westminster in the morning.

Then afterwards, we will have our picnic at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley, since it is closer to the dyno shop.

We haven't been to Mile Square Park in 10 years, so I hope it's still as good as I remember.


The dyno is only open to the two NorCal people at this time, but depending on how long it takes, there may be time for one other car before we head to the park. We'll start at the dyno about 9am, and pack up and leave for the park around 2pm. Dinner at the park will be around 5pm.

MD Automotive:
7281 Westminster Blvd
Westminster, CA 92683


Mile Square Park:
16801 Euclid St.
Fountain Valley, CA 92708

Re: SoCal Picnic Sat July 27th

Sorry, fountain valley is a bit too far for me. I don't trust my car at the moment to make that. I maybe paranoid but if it was Craig Park like usual I'd feel a little more confident.

Re: SoCal Picnic Sat July 27th

We usually have about 10 cars and 10-15 people.

Sorry about that MeenZ28, but this park is closer to the dyno.

Re: SoCal Picnic Sat July 27th

So far I have one person coming down from NorCal for me to dyno tune.

Anyone from SoCal want to dyno tune before the picnic?

Re: SoCal Picnic Sat July 27th

I was going to bring cheese but I see that's covered.
The other day at the store I found some beef franks I like, I'll get a few packs of those and the buns.

I have onion, jalapeno's, some tomatoes to cut up for condiments.
(I was going to make salsa for myself but I'll just bring the veg's for people to use)
