I just got my entry forms from Tina. Right now I'm thinking that I'll pull a gonzo drive up on the proceding Thursday. I'll be coming out of south Orange county. Anyone want to caravan, meet for lunch, dinner, whatever on the way? I'll be driving the hillclimber...
Regards, Kevin |

I'm not positive I'm going but I'm hoping to. If I do, I plan on leaving L.A. early Friday morning like about 6 a.m. I'm hoping it can be a 10 hour drive which would get me there in time for evening tech and drivers meeting. Is this too optomistic? I really don't want to have to make it a 5 day weekend.

How long does it take you to get to Button Willow from LA? Randal |

I think 10 hours may be a little optimistic. You're towing aren't you? |

Google says it's 642 miles from my place in SF Valley. Doable, but definitely a long day. I'm assuming the trip across 299 is pretty windy? Yes, I tow a 20ft. enclosed trailer with my diesel p/u. A lot of trouble for four runs, I'm not feeling real positive about it right now.

After sleeping on this I've decided that 4 passes isn't enough for a 1500 mile drive. I'm out. If I happen to be in that area at the right time some day...
Later, Kevin |

For those towing remember it will be scorching hot coming up HWY 5. I sent in registration today! |

I sent in registration today! I have driven 299 pulling a trailer and it is about a 25 mph average. You can't speed on 299 as it is real sharp curves and windy. Great for someone driving their teen. I would like to go but it is too far for only 4 runs from Corona. I will be running in St. John's, AZ the next weekend on a airport track. |

Who is registered and what are your plans? I think my wife, Sheilah, is going to come along and we'll have our dog too. I have a camping set up for the truck, but thinking it might be fairly miserable if its real hot. ...So thinking of staying in a hotel close by.

hey grant!
i sent in my registration, but haven't heard any confirmation... have you? anyway, i'm in. i'll by trailering up, Zoya is coming (so i'm glad Sheilah will be there -- they'll have someone to hang out with), and the tentative plan is to camp, but we might decide on a local motel also. i've offered to Randal to co-drive my car, but haven't heard one way or the other. i think he was still interested in coming -- even if just to spectate -- but that might have changed. most everyone (Bill P, Dan, et al) else is prolly headed to the GGR TT. could you email me a day time ph number? it'd be nice to camp/lodge next to each other. |

I havent had confirmation yet either although I recieved a brochure on the hillclimb. Figured I would call within the next week to confirm if I dont get anything else. Did you find any places to camp? I was hoping to find a place that had showers etc. If not I think I may camp the first night and then do motel. I will have the "new" truck and will be flat towing if I dont find a trailer. Sheilah thinks this will be fun. I'm still not sure ....dragging 914 behind a truck in 100 degree weather ...sweating like crazy .....to drive up a hill a couple of times? Sounds sort of silly to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) And yes I think caravan would be a great! |

so grant, according to the brochure, we need to be up there on Friday for Tech from 4-8pm and the driver's meeting at 8.30pm.
yahoo maps says it's 6 hours from SF. i can't tell if it'd be faster going up the 5 or the 101. would you like to meet in SF at like 10am? that ought to give us time to deal with the inevitable flat tire, eat lunch, check into a motel, and make tech with some time for dinner. edit: also, it's windows up or arm restraints/window-net -- and a 5BC extinguisher. i think you'll need side-bars to make your cage GCR legal, but i doubt they'd call you on that... |

Sounds good. I will have extinguisher and will figure out a window net. Given my car is street legal and will have top I dont think I will get much crap for lack of side bars. |

Randal is still interested in coming up, should be a party! |
