How about Buttonwillow for $99

[CarlC]

You may want to call the track Mike. They told me last week that they lock the gates at 6:00pm.



There are others that are coming that are hotel'in it and want to come to the grub fest at the track. If the track closes the gates at 6:00pm check to see if it's possible to walk in. I know that a friend of mine is trailering his car and wants to leave it at the track Thursday night, attend the grub fest, and hit the hotel afterwards. Perhaps some carpooling can be arranged.

John and I are in for baked beans and apple pie(s). Do you need a pot to heat them up Mary?

NOTE: I just called Buttonwillow about the access to the BBQ-gate issue and they said that the Northern California club hasn't made any arrangements for camping at the track and, unless that changes, there will be no camping at the track. If camping at the track is permitted, the gate will be manned all night.

I don't know if folks were planning on stowing away at the track, but those of you planning on camping might want to look into this.

To everyone ...

Good call about overnight camping (or lack thereof ...) at Buttonwillow the night before and thanks for checking into this. Our Thursday early evening feast-a-thon will continue without a hitch as we'll move it to the hotel parking lot or somewhere else off of Hwy 58/5 junction.

So far, I've got Carl and Mike for baked beans and pie. I'll bring the ribs. The motorhome has utensils and pans, plus a microwave for heating anything in. We'll also bring another portable BBQ to keep the ribs warmed.

We still need salad fixin's and dressings, several packages of those Cheddarwurst links, and garlic bread. Perhaps another dessert as we've got a lot of sweet teeth here. Any leftovers can be reheated and hoovered down for Friday's lunch. I'll also bring some sandwich materials (bread, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and lunchmeats) for Friday lunch.

If the NCRC does have the track made available for Thursday arrival, then we'll go back to there ...

I'll need a head count by next Wednesday so I can plan for the ribs.

Cheers,
Mary Pozzi

I will bring the links and the garlic bread! ... and a dessert of my choosing!

Where are people staying? Is there a way to secure the car at the track or maybe we should all hire a baney fife to guard the cars while we sleep.

Mary: Carl and John are doing the beans and pie. I'll do alcoholic libations (stick with what you know is my motto) and sodas if you can provide a tub and ice. Give me a head count and if folks can indicate their beverage of choice, I'll see what I can do to satisfy what I'm sure will be discriminating palates.

I'm planning on coming down on Thursday also, I will know for sure this Thursday when next weeks schedule comes out. I don't think I want to miss this event and a chance to hang out with everyone so I will most likely call in sick Thurs/Fri.
Maybe someday I will get this car done so I can run in these trackdays when they come up!

I can also bring a Small Weber and I have a few ice chest. I guess we don't have a choice now but to rent a room? You guys think we can get a group rate at Motel 6?

Hey Rupp can I get a ride?

I don't know about group rates, but I'm at the Motel 6 for $34 a night at:

Hey Jeff,

My enclosed trailer is 28' long and if you don't mind sharing space with the Camaro, feel free to sleeping bag it. I've slept in the front several times and it's pretty comfy. I'll bring the fold out mat and you'll be set.

So ... we have ribs, links, bread, desserts, beverages, and deadly fart beans. Also have two grills and ice chests. I see a replay of Blazing Saddles campfire scene ...

Hopefully, we'll be able to stay at the track Thursday night but if not then we'll go to Plan B and plant the motorhome in the hotel parking lot. We "pack" so it will be a fair fire fight if it gets to that ...

Need a head count by next Wednesday ...
