man, this sound like fun.... especially after watching Initial D.... Do you have anymore info on this? Is it too late to register?

 

I'll go, what is admission? Actually, could you provide any details (like a link or something)? Thanks.

Where: 3com (Candlestick) Park, San Francisco, CA
When: July 5th (Saturday)
How much: $5 admission

Practice runs start at 6:30am

Club240 is gonna roll there together. Why not have a massive Nissan meet there at the same time... hehe

 

Thanks for the info! Will be there, but not in the Z (being so close to HP/Sunnydale).

 

pretty sure its safe to bring the Z. I mean there's gonna be security there and the parking lot in enclosed with gates and fences. Plus there's gonna a lot of cars there too. and plus its paid admission too.. weed out all them cheap, immature folks

 

Damn- will be in San Diego for the 4th. That would have been fun.

 

Sounds pretty good. Gonna be hard to get people up that early after July 4th though. I know I'll probably be hung over....
Anyways, I'm still interested to go see though. Anyone else want to make this into a meet?
Meet around 9:00am by Mercado off the 101 to drive up to 3com?

 

Bu then I have to work all of 4th of July weekend for quarter end, and then some friends decide to come on the 5th from Australia!!

Actually, some friends are coming up from LA so not sure if I can wake them up early enough to see some car drift... Well, tentatively, I'm still kinda trying to go....
