Mike,

Think I'll join you for the run up to Mazfest. What time do you expect to be leaving?


I went to the first Mazfest event up at Buttonwillow a few years ago. When it was held in May. Had a great time!. Actually went up for a separate Friday event and stayed over for one on Sunday, so had three straight days of track time.

Don't know if I will do the track event, though. But, I had previously done an event at the Speedway - on the ROVAL course. Quite an experience going
around those high-banked turns. Speed Ventures ran the event. Attached are a couple of shots from my time there. Nothing captured on the oval, though.


Later,

great!!! Hopefully as we near the date of the event we'll agree on the itinerary for the drive. I'm just waiting for some other people to chime in on this thread.

Btw people have commented on the value given for the track event for Mazfest and apparently for what one pays for track time is a over kill.
hours and hours of track time can be had with limited number of drivers. This is by far a rare occurrence in our community event.

 

bump!

 

AHHHHHHHHHHH why that weekend, damnit getting surgery on the 22nd, I won't be albe to drive **** that weekend


of course, i could always postpone the surgery for a week... hmmmmmmmmmmmm we will see...

hello there!!!! still trying to see how many people are planing on going from SD to determine the start location.

please post your location so that we may agree on a meet point.
I am in the southern most part of SD area so where ever north is ok with me.
we'll take the 163 to the ???????????????????

thanks

 

I am in the UTC area: I-5 and La Jolla Village Drive.

Can meet up most anywhere north of I-8.

John

 

well it looks like i'll be leaving my place from san diego to attend the event @ 8am. Looks like for those of you planning on attending the track event need to be there at the crack of dawn.
The drive to fontana looks to be about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Would love to have a few other Rotaries ride up with me so let me know guys.

thanks,

Michael

 

Hey Michael, it's Mike I met you at the Dave Segalla cruise a few months back. I am not coming from SD, but make sure you call me when you're settled at the venue. Is Gene coming too?

 

I'm going Mike. Hey Michael, meet me at the Mcdonalds on Plaza Blvd again so we can roll up together.

 

I won't be able to make this event...hopefully, I will be in Hawaii

 

mdpalmer----got the number,Rage is on and i hope Fisa makes the role call.

 

wedNESDAY bUmP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I still plan on going this Saturday. The 8:00 am time sounds fine by me, as I was not planning to run on the track this time, anyway.

Mike,
Are you heading up I-15 or I-5? That determins where I will try to meet up with you and others.


- John

 

IMO-- the 5N would take us too much Westward, the best shot is clear up the 15North then on to 10 east.
Rage and I, we're both in the southern most part of SD. Perhaps we can meet up some where north of the 8 and 15???

open for ideas

 

Figured as much for the I-5 route. Tonight I will look at where on I-15 might be a potential meeting point. Will then post to see if that might also work for others.

- John

 

how many of you guys registered for the track? I'm not from SD but just curious who else will be driving that day since I'm registered for the track event.

 

None of us so far. plus leaving SD @ 8am would not get there us in time for safety review.

 

nice.. look for the cool rotary shirts from trendythreadz.com there

they will be set up

 

I'm back in, as holiday plans fell through.

Gene, I talked to Michael and the plan is to meet at the North County mall around 8:30 (like last time)...

 

woot!

 

Charlie,

Where, exactly, at the North County mall? Near the main entrance, off Via Rancho Pkwy?
