Yea, strange huh? I travel on Alemany to get to 280 all the time.

I am not sure about the track because my friend wants to go to Alwater to watch and run the national solo2 on Saturday. Driver meeting starts at 7:30AM!!! Ugh!~!

Man, nothing like having the right tool! I just returned from bedding-in the rear pads. For those who haven't installed a caliper stiffening kit, I'd recommend it. I just need to replace the rear lines with braided ss ones, and my braking mods are complete :smile:

To get back on topic, I too might get there early. If my wife is coming, that might not be the case though... For sure, I want to be there well before qualifiying though at 11 something...

Guys, I live in a canyon off of Uvas Road in San Jose/Morgan Hill. For those heading south to Laguna Seca, you might want go that route for some VERY nice driving: Uvas to Watsonville Road to 152 toward Santa Cruz... At least that's the route I'd like to take .

What route are you guys taking on Saturday and what time is everyone leaving? I'm planning on going, leaving the Southbay around 6:45, would like to ride down with some people but its not a must.

not sure exactly where I'm parking yet. Gonna see about getting in and parking with the Corral, but not realy sure. The cars will stay clean down in the Corral, if we have to park in the dirt were thru. Either way, I'm ready for some racing.

I was debating whether to go to Atwater or Laguna but I decided that watching some cars cruising through the corkscrew is going to be more exciting then watch cars race around cones on Saturday. Sunday, I'll check out the autocross.

Oh, remember to bring earplugs. It's loud at the track.

Heck, if my wife doesn't go (don't know just yet), I too will leave early. I don't have have a FRS radio, but I do have a HAM radio, which wouldn't help any unless someone else does... I'll have a cell with me though, and I'll glady share my number... I would love to know if the Corral is available!

Let's do channel 7, it's just to hook up anyway.

TonyB, send me your # and I'll give you a call when I get down there if you want. I'm cleanining my ride up tonight, if were all blinged out when we get there and show up in a pack, you know they'll let us in the Corral.

Anyone map out that Shell station btw? Almost forgot about tickets.
