The Biggest Little 5er Fest, Reno, NV - September 10-12, 2021 - FINAL STRETCH!
UPDATED as of 6/24/2021 - REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN - See link below
http://msreg.com/BiggestLittle5erFest
As you know, we’ve been devastated by Covid the past year and our beloved “fests” in the West have been cancelled. As of today June 1st, Nevada has fully reopened and that means we are free to have gatherings again!!!
We are preparing for The Biggest Little 5er Fest in Reno! This will be a very informal gathering along the lines of St. Paddy’s Day and 5er West. The main "Show and Shine" event will occur on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at Lazy 5 Regional Park in Sparks, NV.
If there is enough demand, I will try to get a hotel to reserve some rooms. If you don’t mind roommates, there are Airbnb rentals for reasonable prices in the Washoe Valley…I can offer advice on the best areas to rent a home.
The featured chassis are the classic 5 series cars from 1972 to 2002, but all BMWs are welcome (including E23s…ahem). There may even be an old Tundra there!!!
So get out your pent up frustrations and meet with your BMW friends again! There will be an announcement very soon to register on Motorsportreg so we can get an accurate head count.
We look forward to seeing you there!!!
If you cannot attend but still want to order T-shirts, you have that option via the motorsportreg.com website. Bypass the registration fee (Saturday Show and Shine) for the event. T-shirts are available in medium olive ("military") green or charcoal gray.

This will be less formal since we're all desperate for companionship...

I’m in .....drive up 395 from LA will be fun !!
Re: The Biggest Little 5er Fest Announcement, Reno, NV - September 11, 2021
I'll be there regardless, but I'd like to make an argument for E39s. When 5er Fest started in '02, the newest E28s were 14 years old. Currently the newest E39s are 18 years old.
In other words we'll be there in the wife's car, the E39 touring, emasculated version. While something interesting for me is on the agenda, I doubt I'll have it by then. If you want me to just STFU, I understand, and I'll be there anyway.

Things are moving along...we have secured County approval for the requested venue!
The event will be held at Lazy 5 Regional Park in Sparks, NV. We have reserved the Sunrise Pavilion:

Of course that means you will have to clean up your E39...

Looks like there are fairly serious rules about alcohol and music (NONE), we will have to mind our Ps and Qs.
Or we can trust in Yars cop deescalation game...

Really? In Nevada? The state with 24/7 alcohol sales and few restrictions on walking around with an open drink?ElGuappo wrote: Jun 19, 2021 3:33 PM Looks like there are fairly serious rules about alcohol and music (NONE)
Re: The Biggest Little 5er Fest Announcement, Reno, NV - September 11, 2021
Music is a deinite NO, but alcohol requires a special permit.

Re: The Biggest Little 5er Fest, Reno, NV - September 10-12, 2021 - UPDATED WITH T-SHIRT DESIGN!!!!
Ditto, and confirmed I have a hall pass. Not yet sure where I'll be driving from (Utah or WA), or what car I'll bring (ideally it's Minerva).
Thanks for making this happen Eric!
And, I'm sure nobody'll be suprised to know I FREAKING LOVE THE SHIRT DESIGN!

Wish I could make this event - you boys have fun!
I looked through the website for photos of the t-shirts so I can support the cause but can't seem to find any. Can someone be so kind to post photos here.
thx!

Because of logistical reasons, we could not place photos of the t-shirts on the website. There is a photo in this thread. If you can't see the photo, PM me and I can send it to you.Snoopy11 wrote: Jun 25, 2021 1:39 PM Wish I could make this event - you boys have fun!
