Subaru Cruise VII on 21-22 AUGUST 2010
Well kids you heard it here first.
Details will be coming. SUMMER CRUISE (Subaru Cruise 7) SCHEDULED FOR 21-22 AUGUST Please fill out the ATTENDANCE SHEET. We need to know how many and where to reserve camping spots . SUMMARY
SUMMARY OF CRUISE INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY & HEALTH must read ! I will quiz you ! http://www.stimpco.com/upload/f1anat...ctions_v01.jpg Seriously guys. It may seem tough, it may seem an overkill but you have no idea how good and useful they are 'till you drive with us. It comes with experience and among the 8 of us, we've driven many convoys and ran the cruises for 3.5 years by now and we know they work and they are needed. I also need to update it a bit - I admit. We now have professional radios that work for miles making it unnecessary to "pass down" the instructions from head to tail. However hazard awareness and communication (such as incoming traffic) is still everyone's resposnibility towards everyone else. RADIOS We will operate on Channel 15 (GMRS radios) which is the same as Channel 22 (GMRS/FRS radios). The reason is this: in the past, using channel 4 (GMRS radios) we shared the radio waves with lesser equipment and since nobody truely understands if these radios really operate in a higher power (1 Watt) as opposed to the regulated max 0.5 Watt allowed for FRS equipment/FRS channels. So now we move into GMRS only territory which should allow us some more range. Check your radio settings.

we have about 20-30 cars on each cruise; most people bring their significant others or other buddies so we have about twice as many people than cars. And we try to make them family friendly by scheduling events such as haunted houses; submarines; caves; wineries; breweries; other points of interest. We schedule the places to eat and the places to sleep and of course the route. NOW, that being said, small children and pets and people with motion sickness will not enjoy it. By and large we obey posted speed limits; the local rules and regulations and the convoy itself is well organized and the entire group has very strict behavior rules. We do not race each other; we do not race other people; we do not show off on the highway; we all respect each other; we all help each other. We also try to keep it in the Subaru family meaning other car clubs and strangers are NOT welcome to attend. It may sound exclusive but after 3 years of doing this, we know what works and what doesn't.
Once you attend you will find out that most people come again and again, we really are a functional cohesive group of people despite the general NASIOC appearance. We have a clear command and control structure and we plan everything and we take pride in getting everyone home safe and with a happy and unique experience. And year after year we managed to improve. And Kamil, the static noise we hear in the radios is called SQUELCH our radios have it, but they also have squelch control and I am working on finding the filtering setup to get rid of it. http://www.ehow.com/how_2089965_use-...-cb-radio.html |

As I am new to the NASIOC Forums, (And Subaru for that matter) As a member of Team-Integra we had a yearly "Dragon Run" Where there was a massive caravan to the Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee. Has NASIOC ever thought of doing this or have done this before?
Just a thought. |

^^ we're looking at at least one overnight stay at a motel, and maybe a second if it ends up that we're leaving friday, but there is also a chance we might pitch some tents.

....my vacation is still in planning. My 30th is the friday before the cruise and I can't decide where to go, we have the 24th of april - May 2nd off.
Option A: do the original 9 day back-road trip vacation somewhere, destination still tbd Option B: do the cruise, then fly out monday to some warm beach with lots of alcohol and women for the rest of the week Leaning towards B right now |
