Do you think she'll be ok with putting a CB antenna on it?

Flash!!
you started the post you need to make the schedual otherwise it will be a total Cluster %#@&
i am willing to help and set the schedual as i am comming past EVERYONE!
i would like to be in Irvine Friday PM i know not much happens dealing with the event till friday afternoonish. but i HATE rolling in late.

let me know
i think a late "Lunch stop" at Ironworks is a good idea, i would kick in a couple hundred bucks for burgers or something??? guys gotta eat!! give the poor guys in the trucks/trailers time to catch up. and then on to Irvine?

If we had a 4-6pm meeting spot at my shop, we could leave here and travel 156 miles to El toro. It says 275 hours. So just after 9pm. Then on Friday we could see about doing some things like maybe some shop tours. So Cal Speed shop, Walden Speed shop, Foose Design, NHRA Museum, etc.

I'm sure we could come up with a few more things to do. I made Hotel reservation for Thursday thru Sunday.

that sounds good to me sign me up.

Notice how I'm staying out of it....

I Will wait til the dust settles and then I'll choose my poison.

I'm with Roger ---- Get to El Toro on THURSDAY -- and mess around all day Friday (that's what we did last year) and make a nice weekend out of it.

Last year we hit Ironworks on the way down -- then on Friday hit Bent Fab - JCG - Tom Nelson (Nelson is in the same parking lot as Bent)... and had a nice cruise down in HEAVY traffic - but that's because of bad planning. We also did Best of Show in there somewhere... which was another good trip.

Okay Okay!

I had planned on making the drive down on Friday, but some of you (even you Greg) are speaking some sense about getting down a day earlier... so I got a call into my small group of 2 so far to see if we can commit to Thurs. If so, the plan to go to Ironworks on Thurs sounds great.

Blake you really wanna get this locked in early huh!

I'll be coming thru Ptown to pick up the "Main Event Bobby B".... and we'll be ballin' in something big and black and spinning twin turbos.... that I'm not sure you'll be able to keep up with....

Send me PM or email and lets connect for this trip in Ptown if we can.

WE want to be in that No Cali town (It's actually now in Northern Mexico) for the Thursday afternoon meet up at "Giantworks". In order to do that - we'd really need to leave on WEDNESDAY I think?

Giantville in No Mexico is 857 miles SOUTH of Ptown.... and while I once drove my truck and trailer 1050 miles in one day -- I don't care to do that again...

I was thinking of heading out Wed nes day - and stopping at Neds dump in Manteca so we can beat him about the head and face.... then head out early Thursday and doing the Thursday afternoon thing?


ADDED THIS: I'd also like to stop and pound on the other giants - Charley and Jody in Scratch-your-momento area on the way down.... IF - BIG IF - they'd ALLOW us to see them.

I'm not really sure if that was English, Or just Pacific Northwest Environmental Hippie Trucker Talk, But there is a minimum Height requirement in Giantville and you are not there. Plus it is just plain obvious you not a teenager awaiting your final growth spurt, even though I'm quite sure you did not get ever get a growth spurt, I do not make the rules. But if you would like to confront Jody and Charlie you will need to pick on someone your own size and since you would have to stand on Bob's shoulder while he is standing on Tony's shoulders to be that size, I'm not sure how effective that would be or safe. Maybe we could schedule a midget wrestling event to go with our dinner activities.
