We'll want to start the drive up at 6am, or no later than 6:15am.

So, meet between 5:45 & 6am?

dapopa9 · 09-23-2011, 12:13 PM

I have to swap my wheels out once we get to the track and unload everything....so I will probably need to leave McD's at 5:45.

Sounds like a plan.

Those of us who are driving up on Saturday moring, let's meet up at McDonalds at:

25323 Chiquella Lane
Stevenson Ranch, CA 91381

5 North, get off at Pico Canyon Rd/Lyons Ave exit.

Departure time is 5:45am.

dapopa9 · 09-23-2011, 12:38 PM

Think it is actually 25323 Chiquella Lane. But if someone cant find it using you pics above they shouldnt be driving anyway!

OC3 · 09-23-2011, 12:49 PM

Woops, good catch! Fixed.

OC3 · 09-23-2011, 02:17 PM

Have a garage reserved @ Buttonwillow, as shown in the Google map.

Although there's room for 2 cars, we won't be parking any cars in it; rather, it'll be used it to store our tools, supplies, chairs, ice coolers, etc, and use it in lieu of an EZ-Up.

Everybody's welcome to use the space and hang out there.

Therefore, parking the cars in front of said garage might be convenient (circled in red).

I'll be taking the Z4 on Sunday since my M isn't suitable

I knew I should have never touched the damn suspension. I knew it. Every car I've ever changed the suspension on has given me crap.

Well, the installer is a big factor, obviously...

Hey Ricky, James, we'll be at the Super 8, across the street from you guys.

What are you guys gonna do for dinner and such? Maybe we can meet at the Subway for a bite if we get there before it closes or something? I'll be leaving my area at around 7:30 and get there at around 10:00ish or so.

Definitely. Nice to meet more people there too. Damn people were running hard though, I don't think I've seen so many offs at a SpeedVentures event before. Something to do with the double challenge events and having no beginner but 3 advanced groups?

I tried that new "cheezy menu country steak" at Dennys. I think all that pepperjack cheese did me in.

BTW, It was a really good showing, thanks everyone for coming out.
