Now that RTTC II has opened registration, I want to see how many NorCal guys want to get together and cruise down south as a group. I've talked to several guys about it and many sounded interested. Would be a fun thing to do I think if we can coordinate.

I know of a couple guys not on the forums much are in. Anyone else interested, post up here.

And also if you are planning to sign up for 1 day or both.

Greatly looking forward to this event that I missed last year! :2nd:

Sounds good Kyle. The guys I have talked to range in location from Sacto to Gilroy so we will have to see how it all shakes out.

Ill be towing my car down on Friday; certainly not as cool as driving to the track but I've broken too much stuff in the past that I can't chance it. Not sure a 91 dodge diesel can keep up with a bunch of hot rods!

Would be great to have you join Mike. You're towing as well, correct?

Hey man, no worries. You should join. With no overdrive in mine, I think you should keep up with me pretty well. :)

Yeah Dave I am towing also. Hopefully find a place to store it for a few days, so I can visit Disneyland while we are down there.

Also I can take "supplies" for the family, and driving day refreshments.

Cool, Mike. Might as well make a nice road trip and do more things with the fam. I've been wanting to see your car for awhile!

For those who have not registered, get on it now! They have cut the entries from 75 to 60 each day so we get more track time. Only 10 spots left on Sat and 20 on Sun as of Bill's post a few minutes ago.

Register now if you want in.

Let me throw something out their for you guys!

On Friday.. you can leave in the morning.. stop by my shop during lunch time & JCG will host lunch for you guys.. get us going by 2:00 or 2:30 to avoid heavy traffic thru LA.. No matter what.. you hit traffic into LA but @ those times it is not that bad.. You guys coming in the 101.. Scenic drive on the coast!!

I will be trailering my car if completed!! I don't know if it will be street legal by then...

Cris-- that's a very gracious offer and sounds like a great time. Timing makes sense too. Let's see if we can put this thing together. Thanks buddy.

I'm starting to feel bad that all of us So Cal dudes might beat the pants off ya....LOL.

So I'm offering to help with trailer and truck parking in Long Beach +-1/2 hour from El Toro. Also just to note I have a few indoor spots +-3 to 5 for car storage if you want to check out the sites after the event. As an emergency service, I can tow you back to the Sacto area or anything along the 5 FRWY if needed as I have a friend there to visit. Complements of FAB53.Com.

No, we are driving down Thursday! We are heading out around 11am from Gilroy to head to Ironworks in Bakersfield to meet up with a bunch of knuckleheads -- Greg Weld and crew, Blake from Speedtech, Rodger, etc....

You wanna roll with us? Should be a good time!

They shouldn't shut down the grape vine all together, but what they will do is run "escorts" across it to slow traffic down and meter it. Its a long ways around and the winds WILL pick up later in the day, just a heads up. im probably leaving around 4am to get there, if you have to drive around, who knows, we may even run into each other :p.
