Well I got a lot of good feedback in my COST thread, so here's another. Talk to me about dates. While kids are in school, while kids are out of school, while it's hot, while it's cold, spring, summer, fall.
I'm not interested in the WEATHER, I'm interested in your lives. What fits best in your schedules? What is the most appealing?

mark,
post a poll with every month of the year as an option
honestly though, i think you just need to pick a date, and stick with it.
it is impossible to please everyone.
.o2 please

is the willows ca area going to be the tentative location? if so, before the average daily temps exceed 90*. i have 0 interest in track fees. if the number thrown out for that is going to be rolled into the package and it pushes the fee far above what we paid last 3 years, i'm out.

AFAIK- none of the PCA regions or track groups have a firm calander in place.
Unless there is *no* paid driving event planned.

Thanks for the month references guys, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
Don't worry about the 'racing' aspect. It's being handled.

You can't beat April and May in that area. Everything except Memorial Day. Heading to the Indy 500 this year.

Another thought. Most graduations are in early June. Early May is still nice. As you know, things start to heat up in late June.

Are we trying to keep it a secret that Sept and Oct consistently have awesome weather in NorCal? April - May is spring showers and flowers. Maybe folks are going to take the Napa location seriously and want to see the wine country. There's another reason for fall = grape harvest festivities. Personally, I only have a 0.75-1.5 hr drive to Napa area so I'll go whenever. :glassfineredwinesmiley::

Anytime my car is running.
After the rainy season ends (April?)
Before it gets too darn hot (August)
That leaves us with May-June-July, assuming I get the car part figured out.

I plan on going to Parade in July but the rest of the year is open. As I have said, I am willing to help.

No date preference here, except for avoiding a conflict with Red Rock Classic in September. My wife is self employed and my employer is pretty flexible about vacations so I can make just about any date work.

well, the answer of my question might be somewhere around here, but I didn't use the search function because I'm too lazy
could you please tell me
where the WCC'07 will take place
maybe someone could point it out for me on a CA map
many thanks in advance,

Nov 16 2006, 09:03 AM
so how did you manage your WCC-trip in 2004 (IIRC)
anyhow, I'm still not sure if I could bear a long distance flight like Munich (or Frankfurt?) - San Fransisco ... 6 ft 4 in the economy class sounds horrable
Gustl
Jeroen
Nov 16 2006, 09:19 AM
yep, it's a long flight...
if that bothers you, you can plan your flight so you have a stop on the east coast, so you can stretch your legs
Howard
Nov 16 2006, 09:32 AM
With the airport security hassles, especially on international flights, you're really better flying non stop. Connections aren't as easy as they used to be. Took us almost 2 hours changing flights at Heathrow.
Anyway, figure 11 hours westbound and 10 hours eastbound. 2 meals, 3 movies, and you're here!
Seat spacing is a big deal. British Airways about the worst, AA about the best. That 5 inches is a huge deal on a long flight, so don't be afraid to ask. Haven't flown Lufthansa. Hope you can make it.
