The $150.00 is for registration into the A/X right? I don't think I'll be able do do that part. Work sucks.

$150 is the whole enchilada..meals listed, events, goodie bag, raffle stuff. Same $$ whether you go to track or not.

clarify the track fee...
I'm assuming its on top of the $150?

brant

Only if you want to make a charitable contribution

$150 includes the track event.

Yes, Howard, but what about the track fee?

Jen

Can you tell me what the track fee is?

not if your name is Miles ...

Andy

Jen, Mer....

Howard:

Kinda had that one coming

I only did it because I care.

Jen

Thank you, Jen. That was perfect!

Made my reservation today; told them I was with 914 club and wanted the "special" rate... sid the special is $119 !

Has anyone else got the $89 rate ?

Jim, you're back to the $89 rate. Donate savings to Special Olympics?

So is the $150 for the Track Day part?

Gwen, did Jen and Mer put you up to this?

There is only one entry fee, whether you go to the track or not.

You'd better check your reservations, I just got off the phone with them and they said they are not taking ANY reservations for 2005 until the 2nd week of December??? So, Howard, wasssup? BTW I'm locked and loaded for the 22-23 at the Hampton, when do you want the 150.00?

Yikes! So much for my career as a travel agent. I'll give them another call

For you cheap bastards....mom in law has a ranch/farm out in Lancaster Quartz Hills....maybe I can get an OK for a camping thing on the grounds????

Anyone interested?

Don't forget the track fee.

Mer

How much is it?

I've edited the first post in hopes of avoiding further confusion

For the joke impaired....that was a joke....it's ALL INCLUDED.....


NOW FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED>>>>>>>>IT"S ALL INCLUDED!!!!!!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ALL YOU PAY FOR IS LODGING >>>>>>>>

Better Howie?

Howard,
What are the approximate distances? It takes a long time to get to each side of LA much less between Camarillo, Paramount Ranch, and Lancaster/Willow Springs track.
Felix

Mer - I think it is a typo.
Howard just left out the letter 'R'.
There is no track fee. The track is free.

Felix, glad you asked so I can brag a bit

One of the biggest problems we faced was avoiding LA traffic. That's why Camarillo was selected for the starting point. The Inland empire and San Diego/Orange county guys get stuck, but they have a shorter drive than you NorCal types.

All of the events are located north or west of LA. If you map Bay area to Camarillo, there are no real traffic spots on that route. Camarillo to Paramount is less than 20 miles by freeway, but we'll make it much longer with Mulholland Highway twisty tour and poker run.

The trip from Camarillo to Lancaster is serious, almost 90 miles. But by doing this mid day Sunday, and not going through the city, it shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours. All freeway with some 70mph limit. Leaving the track late in the day Monday is likewise easy. Straight shot via 138 to I5 for youse guys, and SoCal members would head back against rush hour traffic.

All this could blow up, of course, with one Sigalert, but we tried.

If it makes you feel any better, I got the joke.

And in case you didn't hear me, I GOT THE JOKE!





The track is FREE?! Why didn't he just say so?!

If we ever meet...I should be wearing a flak jacket me thinks....

So can I order one of the 914club hats. I missed them the first time.......Opps wrong thread



See you all there in 05

you can never start planing too early. just for drill i checked out expedia for the route to camarillo. their directions take the I5-405-101 drive, right into the belly of the beast. what is hwy 126 like? 16 hrs and change.

Really depends on your ETA. 405/101 is brutal during rush hours in either direction, but shortest. Good news is you only have to face it on incoming trip. 126 is very open.

The trick is getting from the 5 to the 101. You may want to do it just south of the bay area as the 101, while a bit longer, is much prettier, and you'll have to face the 5 boredom going home. Just my dos centavos.

126 is nice....just been redone. It connects the 101 to the I 5....

Jim, all fixed, but you better call them again to verify. See first post for updated details.

Howard,
Even if my car is in shape for the long drive, I doubt I will last the long harsh ride, no heat, and no tunes. Now I'm thinking semi-trailering a bunch of us down. I'll bet that will be a rare site.
Felix

Watch out for railroad tracks!!!

I was about to say the same thing.

Knew you NorCal pinky lifter types were wussy

Avoid LA traffic: Check
Do it when it's not too hot: Check
Do it when it's not too cold: Check
Now they want Heat, A/C and Stereos!

Try this: OPEN UR 'EFFIN WINDOWS, BUY SWEATER AND IPOD, or drive the Camry

Yeh, Me and Charlie and a couple of the girls would have an interest!

How much fruit would we have to pick if we stay there?

Howard,


Besides I can't afford that extra TRACK FEE!

Hey I lived in the San Gabriel valley smoke pit for 4 years...that's why I came back to the Bay Area

I'll bet there will be more NorCal attendees than SoCal.

Pinky Lifter Felix

Just wanted to say good work Howard. Way to take the Bull by the horns and get this thing locked down. It's never too early to plan a big event like this. I've truely looking forward to the 05!

Great job! I can't wait to meet everyone in 2005 Should be a very cool ride from WA. AL

Cute....it's the remnants of a 200 acre alfalfa farm.....find the fruit on that bugger....

She's 80....has five acres left and she is being surrounded by one acre homes.....LA is expanding and these freaking people commute....sheeesh...

Fresh Meat! Have a newbie on 2005 Planning group. Everyone say hi to Dan, XITSPD, Hemet, CA who apparently knows a little something about 914/6's. We've never met, but I assume he's the one in the white hat
