I've been there many times in the past. Always a good time. The down side is, they won't let you as close to the track anymore for picture taking. The up side is, you can drive your own car on the track for a donation. It was 5 laps for 20 dollars if I remember correctly. 120mph on the high banking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Way cool. They used to have a Porsche swap meet. There will also be lots of vendors. I hope I can make it. If I come down, I will definitely be there for dinner Saturday.
Cheers, Elliot |

I want to go just to take a pic like this with my car....probably be too crowded. What's the swap meet area like? I'm sure there are a lot of high end vendors in vendor row. But how about the swap? |

I bought a 914 front chrome bumper there and other crap. Definitely more expensive than G&R pricing.

Last year there were some of the So Cal regulars there in the parking lot. If you drive a Porsche...and yes even a 914.... parking is free and there is a corral. There are mostly the usual vendors there. Few years ago my wife took her 350Z on the track and got it up to about 110 on the high bank....quite different for me sitting in the passenger seat. I'm thinking of having dinner at maybe the Cheesecake Factory in Victoria Gardens or maybe Chevy's nearby. Plenty parking at Chevy"s. Wife is out of town that weekend so good boys night out for me. Should be fun. |

You could probably park your care there long enough to take a picture. Plenty of room for people to go around. |

The swap meet is Saturday only. It looks like Saturday is the day to be there for me.

I think I'm going to try and stay up there the whole weekend. My buddy is going to go and camp in his 5th wheel.

Shot of the all 914 parade lap participants, 2008 I remember that year. I was in the "Zonker" behind Dr. Bob Decker in his 3.0 six. The driver of the pace car looked to be about 80 years old in a 911 cab. We figured it would be pokey second gear laps. The old guy took off like a shot! It was all we could do to keep up with him. Dr. Decker wanted to tip him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) We had a great time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The parade laps can make the whole day.
