In-N-Out Rally – July 9th, 10th, 11th ’10

Welcome to the thread discussing the first annual In-N-Out Rally. I want to emphasize “first annual” because I hope for this rally to be a huge success and become an annual trip for auto enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest. This rally will take us down the Washington, Oregon, and California coastline on Hwy 101, and lead us through the Trinity National Forest via Hwy 299 to the burger lover’s Holy Grail that is In-N-Out in Redding, California.

This is an open invitation event for auto enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest and neighboring states. This has been posted in the northwest section of a few select automotive boards. I hope to have autos from every major market in attendance. Exotics, euros, domestics, etc. This is going to be a 1300 mile adventure that will take place over the course of 3 days. Please have your vehicle prepared for such a trip. Full tank of gas, up to date maintenance, up to date insurance, roadside assistance, 2-way radios, etc.

50 rooms have been held at hotels for our Friday night stop and our Saturday night stop. Group discounted rates have been applied. Stops for lunch have also been arranged for Friday and Saturday, with dinner taking place at our hotel Friday night, and In-N-Out Burger Saturday night. Stops for gas will be up to each individual driver. Participants are welcome to run together in small groups/teams.

I’ll attempt to keep a running tally of those that have reserved rooms and plan to attend as well as what vehicle they’ll be bringing.

I am in no shape, way, or form responsible for the vehicles or participants in this rally. I do advise that those attending follow all applicable traffic laws. By attending this rally, you assume full responsibility for your actions.



It’s not a race, it’s a rally...



In an effort to control how many people attend, please contact me via email or private message so that I can provide you with lodging information. Lodging is on a first come, first serve basis. Lodging is also only available for those staying both Friday night and Saturday night with the group. Food and lodging stops have not been publicly posted so as to prevent random people jumping in along the way. If you’re a resident of Oregon, California, or other neighboring states and wish to meet up with the group, please email or private message me and I’ll provide you with info, but you will be responsible for your own lodging.


If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

No interest in this?

A lot of interest has been expressed on BFC as well as several other local auto enthusiast boards.

I think many had the same reaction I did upon opening this up - "Oh, this isn't just for 1 series" and I lost interest. Just my two cents....

I've had that response from a few others as well, and I know the feeling.

This will probably be a rally comprised of mostly BMW's. In fact I picked up a lightly modded e28 and plan to have it prepared for this rally.

But, this is open to many makes/models.

What I've advised is that people are welcome to run in small groups if they'd like. This will not be a huge pack event. Directions will be given to each person and from there you are welcome to drive with whomever you'd like.

Love the idea. I've considered traveling a similar route for a 4 day weekend, and specifically for In-n-Out (the Redding location is closest).

I am WAY oversubscribed for vacations this year, but I imagine it will be a great event.

Too much fun and not enough time to do it all

There should be a nice mix of cars in attendance. I've got several from the local BMW crowd confirmed with many more that are fairly certain they'll be attending. A Ferrari, Maserati, 996 GT3RS, and a R32 GTR have confirmed on 6SO. A few Audi's from NWQ and AZ have expressed interest. A few from the domestic crowd have chimed in as well.

[mineo77]

[R3dn3k Flyby]

Start booking your rooms people!

I need to get an accurate count of those that plan to attend.

Rooms won't be charged until the day of the rally, and you're able to cancel with 48 hours notice. No harm in booking now!

Think I'm down! How many more 1'ers are thinking about it?

I had a 1 series owner from Portland contact me via email today for lodging info. Was that you, or do you require the lodging info?

[Jalisco]

That was me!

Sounds good

[R3dn3k Flyby]

Bump it up!



Just over 4 months away. Get your vacation days scheduled and your rooms booked!

[R3dn3k Flyby]

Bump it up!

Less than 1.5 months left to get rooms booked. Roughly 50% of rooms have been filled.

[R3dn3k Flyby]

Rooms must be booked by May 31st! 7 days left!

[Revelate]

I really wish I could go on this trip... I've rounded out my burger experience recently with Char-Grill in Raleigh NC and Burgerville in Portland. Both are extremely good, but not In-n-Out.

[R3dn3k Flyby]

Great news! I’ve spoken with both hotels and they’ve extended the reservation window out to June 21st. Over 20 rooms have been booked at both hotels with multiple cars attached to some of those rooms. That still leaves 20 rooms left at the discounted group rate!
