Reno SCCA has confirmed Fernley Raceway for the SOLO Autocross event on Sept 6 and has invited us to join them.

For more information and/or to signup see: Snakes to the Lake 2014

Is there a schedule of events for this weekend? I didn't see one online--I would like to come up and look around.

These events are completely uncontrolled. The listed events and times are just suggestions. Get together with who ever you want. There are no mandatory functions or routes. This is my 5th Snakes and we do at least 3 long weekend runs a year and sometimes more. BACC is a motivated group of mostly couples (singles OK too) that are social and a blast to be with.

In Mike's link above he says................" We try to keep things laid back and not have too much structure to the weekend. Folks are basically free to get together with
others in the group once we arrive in South Lake Tahoe to take in what the region has to offer. That said we do have a few options
planned for the weekend. A drive map along with info on local/regional things to do along with some dining guides should help
you with your planning for the weekend.

Social Hours:
Friday
Once again we will have a no host wine/cocktail gathering at the hotel on Friday afternoon/evening.This year we will be
changing up the format slightly, instead of the usual hor'dourves and appetisers we will be serving gourmet pizza and
beer. ( included in the event registration).

Sat. BACC Margarita , Tequila and Wine Social
If you are planing on attending the social hour, Please bring a bottle (or 2) of wine or the BACC favorite "ready to serve"
Jose Cuervo Gold Margarita, and/or Tequila to share and/or sodas for those that do not drink alcohol. ( there should be
time once we arrive to hit the grocery store should you not have room in your car.
Dinner:
No formal dinner is planned for either night. Considering Friday's plans which will most likely only leave room for a late
night Ice cream from the Cold Stone just up the street, Sat. will be the only night you should require dinner plans. As
usual if you are making reservations please make room for 6-8 and invite others. Suggest not making reservations before
7:30PM.
South Lake Tahoe Restaurants."

Thanks Tom.

To expand on this event a bit more.......

This is the 18th year of Snakes to the Lake and what we have found over the years is that herding folks around all weekend in a large caravan is a challenge ( we generally have 40-50+ cars for Snakes).

Even with maps people seem to get lost and too much structure increases stress and lessens fun, so we provide options.

Our schedule is somethings like:

Friday-
Caravan to Lake Tahoe
Reception at hotel around 5:00 or so

Sat.-
Have breakfast
Join a group doing one of the drives or create your own
Get together at hotel in the afternoon have cocktails
Go to dinner/show or whatever

Sunday-
Have breakfast
find out how others are going home
Say goodbyes


We have options which are posted and emailed out for everyone to review before we leave. This usually makes smaller 5,10 or 15 car groups. Depending on what you want to do you just join in with others.

On our way to Tahoe we start in the bay area and picking up folks along the way (we do have planned stops on the way to Tahoe). We try to stay off of major highways as much as possible and use back-roads which can provide driving fun.

On Friday evening upon arriving we have a reception at the hotel with food & drinks. As Tom mentioned, we have a number of day drive options mapped out for the area and folks get together with others interested in taking the same drive and arrange a departure for the next day.

In addition to the drives, we list local activities in the area people might be interested in.
For example, this year the Reno SCCA is running a SOLO event at Fernley and we are invited to participate. Squaw Valley has their annual Food and Wine Festival, Camel Races in Virginia City, Balloon Races in Reno

At the end of the day folks gather again to share their days experience. We provide lists of dining options and always suggest reservations be made for 6 or more so others in the group interested in the same restaurant can join in with others.

Hope this provides a glimpse of what Snakes is about.

Everyone is welcome
