Actually, ask @Banananose
Aww, my old “bunky” from past WCR’s...
Hey Dave. Is that the Mom who is also your sister, or the one that has most of her own teeth? It’s hard to keep up with you mouth breathin’, Walmart shoppin’, toothless carneys. I hear that you’re thinking of moving. Let me know if you want to borrow my compressor to air up the tires on your house. Talk to you soon.

Relax, Skippy. Just Blue6 and I going back and forth with some friendly banter. No one is threatening your Mom, your wife or your status as an SJW. Carry on.

Reminder:
Our host hotel is the Marriott Courtyard Monrovia located on Historic Route 66 and we have secured 30 rooms to start at a group rate of $139.00 for the three nights of June 6-8, 2019 inclusive.
You will need to PM me with your email address and number of attendees and I will send the booking instructions directly to you in order to secure the group rate.
Please note that should rooms book quickly; additional rooms will be made available. Conversely, if the bookings come slowly, the amount of available rooms will be adjusted downwards. If you are undecided, just go ahead and make a reservation. Better to have too many rooms than find out closer to the event that they are sold out.

Jeff is right, Burbank is closer but Ontario might be easier and cheaper.
Burbank has less options from SETAC, plus the traffic on the 210 through Pasadena is a nightmare most rush hours.
The drives Jeff has planned are epic though.
Hope you can make it Kevin.

Ontario is a great airport but there rates from Sea-Tac and back are $$$$$
Your going to hit traffic so pick your poison. Best rates will be LAX and it’s pretty close.

I’m looking for some rides. Going to fly in and rent a car. Julie will be with me too so we’ll either have two of us hitching or following the pack in a rental. After driving a F350 to the last tour most anything I get from rental will be sporty. Turk has some caymans, but I’m not sure if they are worth the $.

@914_7T3 do you have times for anything yet? I see these drives are not going to take all day if we drive straight thru; are there plans to stop along the way? For example, we are starting a drive at 9:14 am, meeting up at stop #1 at 12:00, then departing at 1:30, driving to stop #2, etc.

We are looking at a departure from Panera to Newcomb's on Friday between 8:20am-8:30am.
Saturday's departure will be at 9:14am in keeping with tradition.
Sunday is early at 7:00am, however for those that would not like to Parade in to Super Car Sunday can straggle in later for the departure to the Beach Run.
Once everything is confirmed, an event schedule will be emailed to all participants. A final itinerary will not be posted publicly to this thread. For those that have not PM'd me an email address, please do so do be included on the distribution list. Thank you.
More details to follow.

And yes Jeffrey, I have explained that to my lovely wife. If you haven't driven that car in over 4 years, I have the right to resurrect it, and enjoy it. It's not fair to the little car. I even threatened to put a 6 in it! Luckily I have a plan B for that!

It just feels like the rear of the car needs more steer. Maybe I need to stiffen up the shocks a little. Might lower the rear just a touch too.
Not sure if I can make the Phoenix Club this time but I'll be at the Automotive Driving Museum on the 16th.

Leaves are falling all around
It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing I got to do
Ramble on
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl
On my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams......
