Who's planning on heading to AMVIV III thursday early am with NorCalMINI's.
Leave East Bay, have one more meet up spot then on to Fresno to meet up with MidCalMINI's. Worked out well last year.

Trying to see who is interested.

I know some are planning on going down 395.

 

We will see you in Fresno.

 

Hi Carol,

I'll be leaving from the South Bay, going over HiWay #152 East to Los Banos to HiWay #99 south to Fresno.

We could meet-up in Los Banos like we tried to last year .

And for any south bay MINI/Mini drivers that would like to start from here, we could set something up .

Keith

 

I plan on motoring on Thursday

 

MLE and I ussually head out thursday as well arrived at the hotel at 11 am last year ...

 

Keith and bpago

We'll have a meet up in the East Bay and then catch up with you Keith

I'll see you on Sunday, get the details set and post back on this thread.

Who else is up for the Thursday run to Vegas?

 

I'll be at the rest stop just south of Tracy on the I-5 at 10 AM Thursday if any Bay Area or Sacto folks want to rendezvous. Figure on pulling into Vegas around 6:30 PM, including breaks and lunch.

Bring yourself and your favorite MINI companion to the Las Vegas Speedway on Saturday. Join us in a Phil Wicks Driving Academy event and watch the MINI Challenge.

Regards,
Speedway Sid

 

I am still deciding if I am going but would like to leave from the east bay early Thursday with some others for the run if I go.

 

If you're coming, and you want to stay at Palace Station, the group rate ENDS ON TUESDAY, 2/21!
Hopefully, we'll see you here.

 

Anyone driving 03/23 in the evening? I have to work that day so I'll be leaving Sacramento after work...

 

It's still up in the air whether or not we'll be going yet. Wife has to fly out to Boston the Monday following AMVIV for a week long corporate thingy, so I'm not sure if we'll be going as a couple or if I'll end up going solo

If it ends up as option b, I'll be heading out Thursday morning with the other Norcal folks.

 

Hopefully you'll be able to go. I don't think that I can join up w/ the NorCal group in the morning...maybe I can play hooky from work.

 

Finalstatic:
How did you like the video?

goldcountrymin:
Play hookie and blame it on your MINI friends~

 

The video was great! Lots of tail shots of me since they were right behind us on some of the stages of the run. I'm glad we as a club were able to help them create their pitch to MINI. I think they "got" it. (Even if we didn't know what they were up to at the time lol)

 

They did achieve thier goal and are hosting a run in April that will end in Sausalito.

 

I'm going, just wasn't sure which way, I had fun with you all last year, might as well do it again, so wait for me I'll be there. is it time yet?

 

For anyone coming to Fresno on Thursday morning to carovan with us that is going to be a little late, let me know and I will give you my cell #. That way we will wait if needed.

 

I just booked my room and I am looking forward to my first AMVIV.

Is there a meeting place in the East Bay for the morning of 3/23? I have heard some are going down 99 and others down 5. I would like to caravan with other MINI's to add to the experience.

 

Let's do it again!

Meet at East Bay MINI March 23rd at 5:15 am, leave at 5:30 am.
So we have time for breakfest.

580 east to 5 south to 152 east to 99 south.
Where will we meet you Keith 152 & 99 or catch you in Fresno?

 

I will see everyone in Fresno at Denny's. Let me know how many are coming and I will try and get parking in the same area.

Also for anyone staying in Fresno the night before, we are still working on the place to eat at. Thinking about BJ's Brewery. Got BEER!

 

It will not be pretty at 5am , but i get better as the day goes on

See you at East Bay MINI.

 

I'm going to try to leave Castro Valley about 3:00 AM on Thursday. Want to get to LV before rush hour traffic.
Jim

 

If you're from LA or SF, Vegas rush hour traffic is nothing.

 

I commute 75 miles a day in SF Bay area traffic. I just don't want to spend the last part of a long drive sitting in traffic. (can you say "numb-butt" )

The closer you get, the more you want that 1st beer.
