St. John's on Lawrence Expressway is a good choice. Not too far from the airport. Parking can sometimes be a little tight but no NFL games on Thursday ..... the baseball playoffs have two games on Thursday but the Giants aren't in it so it probably won't be too crowded.

Around 6-ish I would think but we should probably let Eric set the time.
Did we settle on St. John's to meet? It's fairly inexpensive and it's centralized, so it's a logical choice. Only problem is it can get very crowded when there's a big game, and the parking lot is sorta small.
Assuming we're gonna meet at St. John's, I can do some advanced scouting and swing by at about 6pm tonight and see how busy it is. If there's a line out the door, we may want to plan to meet earlier on Thursday.

An airplane Matt

Oh OK... I'll boot myself out for that one:

Rennsport Reunion IV. Flying in Thursday night and leaving bright and early Friday AM for Laguna Seca (yeah I F'n refuse to call it Mazda bla, bla, bla).
Sounds like St. John's it is. I think I can walk from the airport to my hotel but may need a ride from there. 6 seems OK. Will that give the worker bee's time to get out of work and make it there?
Jeff Hines is bringing a crew as well. Do we need to do a head count and make reservations?

I reserved a table at 5:30 (or was it 5:00 .... crap ..... already forgot) because they don't take reservations after that. Went by at 6:00 today and it wasn't that busy but the server said that it just depends on the day, it generally gets busier a little later.

Made it... At the hotel. Someone tried to call but the message was garbled. DD I'll probably be calling for a ride if it's not out of the way... 914 or fancy new Mini?
See you guys soon.

Call the phone number I left. It will take me a while to get to the vicinity of the airport, 'cause traffic SUCKS. (I'm assuming your hotel is near there from your other notes here.)

yikes! who's green piece of ... is that?! oh, wait... thanks, dave...
nice to meet some new forum folks at at. johns. Biergarten at noon at rennsport was a better sounding idea than it turned out to be - hard to recognize people you've never met in person in a big crowd! perhaps next time we need a secret sign or funny hats or something. was able to meet our a couple of our so cal torchbearers though. good to see those younger than i enjoying these little old cars!
what an awesome event. i'll wake up tomorrow wondering if it was all a dream...
pics i shoulda posted here instead of the rennsport thread...
