Dave, I'm not positive about 10/7, but I will return on 10/13. I'm considering taking the Coast route up but I-5 back for sure. I'll let you know ASAP Gil

 

[AGNSX]

OK Dave, you convinced me!

Sandi and I will join you for the caravan up (as long as Jim brings the Gummi Bears I am looking forward to seeing Jim's MonteCarlo Blue baby!

I will however be leaving to come home on Sunday morning (as I am not doing the track event)

I wonder if the ride up the coast route would be all that bad on a Tuesday morning in October? (remember why Barbara can't come? Tourist season is mostly over) and we are getting there a day earlier.

Just a thought...

 

[SCS2k]

I'm in despite the fact that Dave set this up and Steve is going. Gummi's are my treat with a side of sarcasm.

Steve:

Good point about taking PCH since we have a full day to get to our destination and full day to recuperate. I'm open to it and Lieber will go along with about anything so long as there is beer at the end of the day.

Gil is a strong maybe so let's have him chime in as well as others that sign up for this caravan. We're on our way...

"NSXPO or BUST" Caravan

Guys, I'm going up Tuesday, the only debate is the route. I'm leaning toward the coast route, leaving OC early to clear the LA traffic and enjoy a long day on PCH. I'll wait to hear what the group is doing before commiting. Gil

 

[FuryNSX]

Do you guys plan on arriving at the hotel Tuesday evening? Does the hotel offer the same rate for that night? (Just wondering...)

Randy- Yes to both questions. Gil

 

[tbNSX]

I'm also up for a coastal drive on the way up or the way back, even if it does make for a long day.

Are there enough bathrooms along the way? You all know Dave's prostate ain't what it used to be.

Hey Dave:

Don't I remember somthing about Jim being "bladder boy" during the trip to Atlanta??

 

[DaveG]

Fortunately Steve's memory is stonger than Lieber's bladder. Nice try though, Jim.

Hey, how is that rubber-tube-through-the-floorpan idea coming along? Still going to call it "BladderBoost"?

I was thinking "bladderzilla" It functions with Dave's new "Smart(pro)state"

Ah, NSXPO caravan - LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

 

[POWERED by HONDA]

I've been denied twice for my vacation request for October 6-13. (It's crazy here...)

But I am sending in my early bird NSXPO registration in anyway...

I'm hoping to get approved by September 19. If not, then at least I can get my full money back.

If I get approved, I am in for this caravan.

Hmm, blamin' work now, are you.

Hmm, blamin' work now, are you.

At least he's not using his daughter as an excuse for this one!!

 

[POWERED by HONDA]

I save that excuse for the local events.

I can't wait until I have a sun... I'm running out of excuses.

 

[CDub]

whatsdamatta? Your daighter is not good enough?

 

[CDub]

OK, Steve R. talked me into it. I'll be joining you on the 7th to head up there with the big group. My understanding is that we are going to drive through PCH correct? I think it'll be a blast. The last time I took that route was 15 years ago in my near new 87 Supra.

So have we decided on what time and where to "meat" (eggs, sausages, ham and bacon sounds good) yet? If we were to leave after the morning traffic, we can have breakfast and wait for the SD group to join us.

I'm planning on coming back on Sunday the 12th. I hope I can watch half of the track event and drive back late morning on fwy5 and be back in OC by 8 - 10pm. Not sure if anyone will consider that schedule.

Let me know if you need a doctor's note.

CDub,
I like the way you think.
"Bacon's good."

[akira3d]

I too am looking to caravan up via coastline. I still haven't decided whether or not to head up on Tuesday or Wednesday...we didn't book the hotel on Tuesday night.

 

[DaveG]

Chris: An early start is probably inevitable since there's no such thing as "waiting for LA traffic to clear", but it won't be so early that we can't have breakfast first. As far as our friends in San Diego, it's only an hour to the OC departure point. Or, come up the night before which is what Lieber is doing and he's coming from Phoenix. Granted he'll be sleeping in his car, but it's still the night before.

Eric: You almost sound committed. Go on, book the hotel for Tuesday night, you know you want to.

As far as the return trip, Lieber and I are committed to returning on Monday since we're doing the track event on Sunday, but I know that Riter and at least Chris so far want to come back on Sunday, so let's keep the return dates open - looks like there will be at least two groups.

Dave,

Just a suggestion here. How about if the OC group takes off early to avoid the LA traffic and get to some where between Camarillo and Santa Barbara around 9'ish and have breakfast there. We can then either wait for the SD group to come or take off slowly and let them catch up to us.
