LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED

Without this club I could not do this.
Team NARP...Ortega...and Toys For Tots
Talking to the Team members today we worked out the details of this event.
Hopefully it will be the biggest California 914 event of 2006. We have been putting $2.50 from each Team NARP sticker sale aside to go to Toys for Tots. Along with this we would like to give them some toys.

November 18, 2006. Come one come all, the more the better for the KIDS.
We're going to have a Fun Run from Corona to Team NARP Headquarters for a .

You don't have to do the run, you can just drive to Team NARP Headquarters.

You will have to bring with you 1 new unwraped toy worth at least $10.

The Fun Run will happen from the parking lot North East of The 15 and Cajalco. We've started many runs there.

Time, 9:14 of course, if your in a 911, just show up 3 minutes early.

This should put you all at Team NARP Headquarters at 11:30 and the "Q" should already be "ON".

I can't possibly think of a better reason to do this. My Bar-B-Q's, gather a lot of people together to have FUN. Well, this time we have a much better reason to gather. The Children. Come on, lets make it happen for them.

Please check the guest list.
Please bring your favorite beverage and a chair.

I'm in ; great idea. It's been a long time since we did an Ortega run.

Posted by: HeloMech Oct 12 2006, 07:59 PM

Do AAA flatbeds travel Ortega?

Posted by: Pat Garvey Oct 12 2006, 08:01 PM

You're doing a great thing & hope someone on the "right" coast does a similar event. Can't help from 2500 miles away, but best of luck!
Good cause!

This I think I can make....

Posted by: KELTY360 Oct 12 2006, 09:54 PM

Aw man.....you're gonna run Ortega? Back in the day, with my first teener (1973), that was my favorite run....even better than old Laguna Canyon or Trabuco. Wish I could be there.

Somebody PM an address so I can send a toy - great idea Joe.

Posted by: Joe Sharp Oct 12 2006, 10:15 PM

Done. And Thank You again.
You know Marc, I Bar-B-Q around Christmas also.

The proper spelling for Cajalco is with an A..

Not an O

Who were the 911 guys we would see on Ortega on our runs?
:PERMAGRIN: Joe

Posted by: Brando Oct 20 2006, 03:17 PM

Probably OCR or 356 registry I would guess...

I thought I saw them on the 911 bird board from a link once.

:PERMAGRIN: Joe

Posted by: HeloMech Oct 30 2006, 09:06 PM

Never heard of the guy. Is he a marine? army? girl scout? I'm there all day, every day M-F. If you want me to go chat with him, see about getting a 5-ton or something to swing by... huh? huh? I can get the local reporter girl to drop by with her camera and such...


**EDIT**

Hey Joe,

Just saw that guys name and number on the other site. I can check with him tomorrow and I'll send him an email from my gov't email as well. If they can't get a truck from their marine corps. guys, I'll see if I can convince an army truck to swing by. I know most of my unit's trucks were left behind in Iraq for incoming units... so, the motorpools around here may be a little, uhm, well, ya know.

I could have sworn I saw on the news this morning that Toys R Us is doing some deal around the Toys for Tots Program. Something about doubling the contribution of toys.

You want me to put MY car up on jackstands so YOUR car will run? They never seem to be in the same place at the same time. Perhaps this will help out. Ooh Ooh, I've got it. I'll put mine on stands. You drive yours to Joe's place. Then I'll drop mine, drive it to Joe's place. I'll go home first (I live alot closer than you do!) and put my car back on the stands, call you and let you know it's ok to start your car and drive home. PERFECT PLAN!!

Somehow, there seems to be a concern on my part with that activity .......

First is was the limp wrists from Corona and Westlake Village

Then is was the Brokeback Contingent from CO & UT

After that all the perverts started showing up on the site (AZ & NM)

Now we have a Barbie Doll molester in the crowd

It seems this parking lot has grown a bit. It is now immense. How about we pick a landmark like say "in front of Staples" or something like that.

Posted by: HeloMech Nov 19 2006, 07:38 PM

Toast,

I took my battery to Autozone to dispose of it. They looked up my phone number and it had a 3 year warranty on it. I only bought it like 5 months ago. I didn't think they would cover it because it was obviously some type of cut across the top. Dunno wha happend toit... anyway. just wanted to drop it off and get rid of it. They handed me a new receipt and said grab a new battery on the way out, we're even!!! YEAH baby YEAH! $80 extra for, hm, tire cleaner, windex, lucas oil treatment... what else can I get with that... ooh ooh, LUNCH!!

Posted by: VegasRacer Nov 20 2006, 02:27 AM

Howard once told me that NARP stood for No Apparent Reason Party.
Well - in this case, Team NARP had a very good reason to party.
..... to collect donation for Toys for Tots.

**(don't forget the )

Thanks to our ever gracious host - the one - the only - Mr. Joe Sharp.
***(thanks for giving us a location and an excuse to get together again and demonstrate what this Club is really all about)

It was great to see some old friends and make some new ones.

Thanks to the Team NARP Engineers for installing my new fog lights.

I figured this would prolly be my last Road Trip for the year, so I decided to make it a good one.
I came down on Friday to carve some canyons. SR 6 going up to the Mount Palomar Observatory was awesome.
Then there was the Ortega Hwy Fun Run and caravan up PCH to Team NARP HQ.

Elvira and I also took the long way home going back to Vegas.



I saw this sweet GTO when I stopped for gas.




I wasn't the only one out playing.




The Pacifico License Plate from the Cardboard Splitter Project stayed on the entire trip.
