Turnout was smaller than expected because of last minute emergencies, but we still had a couple of new people join us.

^ scroll up and look at the pictures. last month was probably small due to the Christmas holiday season.
last time I rolled in around 9pm and it was decent but not more than 30 cars iirc.
it's about the people anyway!

let's see if I can convince the wife to have date night in Tustin tonite !

Just a friendly reminder to keep revs to a minimum while entering / leaving the parking lot. We had a regular of this meet receive a ticket just this morning in the Irvine area for only a muffler delete

Hey guys I've heard Irvine PD is leading the charge on issuing fines etc.. on modified cars, including front window tint and not having front lic plates.

Has anyone been popped? If so, what have you experienced?

See below quoted post.

I don't think I can share much on this matter (it wasn't me) other than that a few regular OC GTG attendees and I have offered advice and assistance to said attendee to address this matter.

Having said that, Irvine PD seems to be the most active with issuing citations in accordance with AB 1824 going into effect on 1/1/2019 (see here for Jalopnik's interpretation of AB 1824). And if you're getting pulled over for that, and if there are other obvious equipment "violations" (front window tint, no front plate, etc.), chances are likely that the ticketing officer will add those to your citation.

Coming back to the OC GTG, I can't say that this won't affect the GTG itself because of the paranoia surrounding AB 1824 and Irvine PD. I can say that, as the meet has been held at The District @ Tustin Legacy since its inception, we've been very fortunate that there has only been two or three times that Tustin PD have made themselves visibly present. Even then, we've always respectfully and peacefully left on our own accord, and no one leaving has been "harassed" by Tustin PD to date.

(BTW, Orange County Sheriff's Department Regional Training Academy is about a half mile away, and we've never had OC Sheriffs roll up on us. *knock on wood*)

IMO, so long as the OC GTG remains peaceful and respectful, I can't see how we can't continue to meet on a regular basis.

I'm the one who got pulled over last week in Irvine in my ISF. I was on my way to work in the morning waiting at a traffic light when I noticed a motorcycle cop behind me inbetween my lane and the lane on my left so I rolled down my front windows. When the light turned green, I slowly pressed on the gas and the cop immediately turned on the lights and pulled me over. He told me he pulled me over for a modified exhaust and window tint. Then he asked me to pop my hood and he said I had an illegal aftermarket intake (Injen intake) and no front plates. He said the racing badge (jdm leaf air refreshener) hanging on my rear view mirror, decals on my car, and modifications were all signs of a street racer. He gave me a state ref ticket for intake, exhaust, tint, and no front plate.

No meet this month during our usual time (2nd Thursday of the month). Next Thursday is valentine's day + there is a 50% chance of rain. My plan is to wait it out until the weather gets better.


If any of you guys are bored and want to have a meet, feel free to post up in this thread.
