Weather Still Lookin Good!
I think this will end up being the first post on Page 3 of posts...
Weather report continues to show Mostly Sunny, 71 degrees...excellent driving conditions!
Reminders:
Remember to bring your FRS (aka Motorola Talk-about) Radios. If you don't have any, stop by a Walmart, you can get one for $10-20.
See below for a bit more detailed instructions on how to get to the meet location:
Directions to Meet Place (Please show up around 9AM, drive starts exactly at 9:30AM Saturday 5/8):
We will meet at the Gas Station on Hwy 76 right next to the Pala Casino at 11154 Highway 76 (East of the 15 about 5.5 miles). If using Mapquest or your onboard PC, put PALA as the city rather then San Diego. The Casino and gas station is on the Right. The Gas Station is right before the casino. It is hard to miss the Casino as it is huge and has a few big flashing signs. I’ve got directions below:
From LA/OC near Hwy 5: Take 5 South to Hwy 76 which you take for about 23 miles East total (you will cross the 15, then about 5.5 miles later reach our meeting place). As this freeway has many stop lights, it takes a little bit longer to travel then the 23 miles suggests.
From LA/OC near Hwy 15: Take 15 South to Hwy 76 which you take for about 5.5 miles East.
From San Diego: If near Hwy 8, take 8 to 15, take 15 North, then take Hwy 76 East for about 5.5 miles.
From San Diego/North County: Hwy 78 to 15 N to 76 E is a good route to the meet location.
List:
1. Spacemanspiff
2. alang
3. Zman23
4. erock
5. DJK (tentative)
6. sunitn
7. Luv Mntrl
8. Skar 718
9. Hunter Z (a/k/a Richard 350z)
10. THX723 (G35)
11. HanZolo fka Z33Frog + Zuprcar (maybe in the Z32)
12. G35Newbie
13. SoCalG35C

Maybe 7 would be better, I noticed Bryan said to be there at 9. I thought 9:30. So do think it would be better to meet at 7, so we have some time to get there. Let me know what u think.

I'll see what my schedule looks like for tomorrow. It sounds like it might be a pretty cool run. Just a bit far to get there.
Han, I'll call you tonight to let you know if I'll make it or not.

I think that meeting at the Unocal at 7:15-30 will be just about right. Hwy 76 can take a while to get across because of all the lights and 5south on a saturday can be unpredictable. Erica is alseep the whole damn way so to her it seems like a 15 minute drive...
If we do manage to haul *** and get there really early, we can win some gas money at the casino =)

Fun Run
Thanks everyone for a good run. Lots of first timers for Palomar in the group this time. We had about 10 cars: 7 Z's, 1 Roadster, 2 G's. Got several good runs in the twisties! Perfect skies, decent but warm weather, enjoyed it greatly. Again, thanks for a fun and safe drive!
Now to the pics!
