As soon a the registration stuff is done I'll be registered. Even happy to pay the extra 2cents for my 914-8 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . All we need is a helmet right? Is the stock seatbelt okay? I'm ready to race (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . Be my first time on a track so I will probably get roasted but I don't care. At least I can go balls out without getting a ticket (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

We are going to tech the car at The Inn of Lancaster Sunday afternoon. We will check them out just like an Autocross. So yes, you will need to show them a helmet.

jamie/morgan, how days do you think you'd budget for the drive down? how far on the first day? stockton or futher south? hard part is timing the drop into the l.a. basin. or is it fuched traffic all of the time? santa barbara afternoon traffic was so much fun in 05'.

We'll put one car in front and one car behind you. You'll make it there in style and, your wheels will never hit the ground. I was "thinking" of doing the big circle tour. Heading out early enough to catch up with your group going down and then I'll have to head back to SLC via Vegas on Sunday. No track time for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I only took the 14,15 & the 18th off of work. So I'd be willing to leave Wednesday after work & go part way. Or just leave nce & early thursday morning. I would think we should get to at least Sac if not further south. If we go to Sac how much further to WCR? 4-5 hours driving? Really shouldn't be a problem to be there friday with plenty of time to spare. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Heck we got 3 months to get this planned. We should be able to figure it out in that time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I left home at 8:00 and got there at 6:30, with well over an hour spent stopped for lunch and picking up a dashboard from some guy. I'd say an easy 8 hours from Corvallis to Sac, and another 45 min or so to Stockton. I'm not real familiar with Cali, but I think things get pretty sparse after Stockton. Stockton to Irvine looks like another 6 hours or so. Are you driving the V8, or trailering it? |

Better safe than sorry & knowing my luck with WCR (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I am better off having a way to get it home should something break. I also should have the creamsickle back & ready. I may go crazy & take it instead. I doubt it but who the heck knows (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Either way I'll have room should you decide to ride down Todd (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I will be providing some directions to follow for the L.A. area that will make your traffic as easy on you a possible. I've been working in this shit for 30 years and there are some tricks to it.

This event sounds like a blast, I'd really like to go. I'm not willing to drive the V8 car 2000 miles but the S2 should make the trip just fine. If the PNW 914 caravan doesn't mind a 944 jumping in the mix, I'd like to roll down with you guys. So you guys are taking 101 all the way right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Juskidn.

I plan on coming with my 914 (again). Will non-914s be permitted for the track day? My brother may want to join with his 993...
