Default The Official "What To / Not To Bring to FOTB" thread

As I think of things, I'll update. But lets get it started

Bring for the Daytime:
  • Sunscreen (Shik, this means you... even if you ARE in Utah)
  • Chairs
  • Hat
  • Bathing Suit (or not )
  • Surfboard/BoogieBoard

Bring For Nighttime:
  • Wood for Bonfire
  • Warm Clothes
  • Chair (or blanket if you prefer)
  • Beverages
  • Snacks (S'mores makins!)

Do NOT Bring:
  • Any alcohol in a glass bottle, or can. Whatever you wanna drink outta your red cup, hey thats on you.
  • Tents that you hope to have in/around a car. On the beach is fine but not near the cars, or in the picnic area.
  • LOUD Stereos. Tunes are OK. But if we can hear you more than 50 feet away, then you'll have to turn it down.

Can we have an EZ up over our car or behind it if there is space? do you have a general layout of how the foci will be parked?

No. The potential to damage someone else's car is too great.

You wouldn't want someone else's EZ Up blowing into your car and scratching it, would you?

Yeah...and I still see people erecting EZ-ups at SOW and Big Willow. I've watched them roll over on multiple occasions.

Do NOT bring your burnouts. Nobody cares if you can lay rubber down the street outside the show. Please don't bring a bad face to FOTB.

*Todd: May I head up the lynch-mob for those that choose to ignore this one?

Also, we don't care what your exhaust or your blow-off valve sounds like. Idle in, idle out, small throttle openings in the vicinity. If you can't understand that, get your refund now.

Hehe...erect.

I agree with the exhaust/BOV comment, BTW. We all know what a Focus sounds like.
