Alright guys, so here's the update:
Last night ( 3/ 21) I went in front of the parks and Rec commissions board for permission for us to be there.
The vote was approved and we have permission to be there on 5/19. We have a specific part of the park available to us from 10 am - 4pm.
However, there were a few caveats the board was quick to point out and make sure we follow.
1. Rain date of 5/26 ( one week later ) is NOT available, it's memorial day weekend. We can submit for another date, but reality is, we'd probably never get the turn out.
2. Staff will be on site
3. We have to BE QUIET - One of the biggest concerns the board has was noise from our exhaust. I was explicitely warned, no exessive noise, burn outs, aggressive driving etc while on the park property. Neighbors to the park would quickly call the police and we would not be invited back next year.
4. Bathrooms - There is a zoo on sight that will be open, there are bathrooms there that will be available. So this is a non issue.
5. NO COOLERS ALLOWED( in the open ) - too much of a liability so they have banned them all together ( thank you summer nationals ). If we get spotted with them by park staff we will be asked to leave. Leaving it in your car is fine, just NO ALCOHOL
So next step is I have to work with Worcester PD to get final sign off on the permit and we are official. I will work with our contact at Worcester parks and rec to get that taken care of
Finally, last step would be to find some place to eat thats big enough for all of us to SAFELY park our cars. Any help would be appreciated in locating a spot.
Getting closer!!

Thank you for doing this Ian! As long as everyone is respectful to these rules we shouldn't have a problem. Can't wait!
