Last time it was...T-hill has a small food facility (burgers, sandwhichs) and everyone got something like a $7 food credit.

I usually bring a wide assortment of tools, but it'd be good to have a more compete set that maybe you could bring up.

Once we get closer to April, I think we'll have a better idea of who will be going up.

Yeah, I just wanted to put it out there. I'm thinking of going up the night before and staying over night. You can do that at the track right. If not does anyone have a favorite campground nearby? Poker anyone? Let's make some noise!

I don't know about lunch being supplied by the track. However, the night before, during the day, and at closing I could probably have something for you guys from My350.com. I'm just wanting to do something for my bros.

I'm thinking on bringing the compressor and such. But, if a lot of you guys have trailers rigged up with all the stuff you need; I don't see the need to bring my stuff. However, I figure there might be a member that is going to drive up his Z and can't figure out how he's going to get all of his stuff up there. So, I was just putting out the offer. We'll see what the need is.

I also am going to bring up my 3.2megpix Cam (Oh, Wow ) and my Digital 8 Video Camera to catch some of the action. I plan on putting together a DVD as I always do at such event for the crew.

scott, sorry to hear that you won't be able to go b/c of the convertible safety rules...to an extent, I agree with the rules - I wonder how much roll protection the OE bars actually do; I saw a boxster a few weeks ago that rolled; the windshiled supports were completely smashed in...there's not much room to hide your head in those kind of accidents.

AJ - I'll probably bring my work camera; it's a Nikon D70 (digital SLR)...maybe you could snap photos with that for us.

If you guys want I can contact David Ray (founder of Hook on Driving). He's based near Thunderhill and he teaches racing lesson. He also drives a 350Z (red). Last I spoke to him, he said if anyone wants, he can stop by and give some pointers/advice or just chat. Let me know if you guys want that.

Baymi, let David Ray know that if he can come, I for one, would love some pointers; especially from someone who drives a Z.

Will you be going too?

It looks like we'll have a good group going!

I wish but I'm currently back in CO. You Northern boys always seems to have some cool events. I've attended a few and I love it. I'll get in contact with him and let him know.

I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I find out.

Just bought Hot Links and Hot Dogs. Booze - BYOB .... I recommend light drinking so you'll be on your toes Sunday on the roadcourse. I plan on driving up Saturday afternoon with RV for a Saturday (4-15) night BBQ / party for those interested. You can bring a steak for the BBQ / Party Saturday and I'll have a small gas grill going for you. I'll get one of those Costco Salads, Chips, and Salsa. I'll also bring a case of sodas. However, it would be nice if you guys brought a couple of 12 packs of soda / beer to back things up.

PM me for my cell phone number and directions if you want to join in the fun.

Charging up the batteries in the RV Today just to make sure.

Picked up a 5meg pixel Sony last week that allows for quick focus and hopefully I'll get some great shots.

This should be a great event!

AJ

what happened Sean? That sucks you won't be able to make it...



AJ, if you're still planning on coming, could you carry up my track wheels (I'm able to fit all 4 wheels in the car, but that doesn't allow a passenger and my wife is coming to this one)

thanks!

Peter - Not a problem we will just load them/lock them on the roof top carrier of the Motorhome. If more people need space I'll just bring my trailer and load it up with tools tires etc... The trailer will handle about 8 tires plus lot's of tools jacks etc... and the roof top another 6-8 tires if need be.

I'll have to get everyones address and run around Thursday or Friday night picking up the tires, tools etc...

I recommend a cable locks so we can lock it all up at the track etc...

I have a couple however, it's always good to have an extra or two.

Here's the rig and trailer so you get an idea:







For anyone that needs tires or tools transport:

PM me for my cell phone number / address. You can drop the tires off or I can pick them up. Either way is fine by be. I just need enough time to load up and go. I plan on leaving EARLY SATURDAY morning. Therefore, pick-up / drop off should not be any later than say 9pm Friday night .... or so.

AJ
