I just read something about Thunderhill. They're looking into building high bay shops on either side of the entrance to the facility.....might be something worth looking into.

I'm 200 miles out! Sitting at the intersection of CA-46 and I-5..... Now.... for those of you keeping track - It's our 36th Anniversary today. How many wives would spend their 36th anniversary in a semi - parked in a parking lot on their way to spend Thanksgiving, eating dinner in a restaurant... so their idiot dumber half's can track their cars?

I used to live in Alameda... and Reno was part of my territory. I was in my '64 Dodge Polara 500 with it's transplanted 440 and a 4 speed - on street tires -- and was the last car allowed thru before they closed I-80..... it took me 4 hours to drive 50 miles. I made it without any help -- but the only way I could tell there was even a road there was the reflectors marking the guardrails for the snowplows. Lucky for me - there was not a single car coming the other way - so I could take my half out of the middle!

I was working with RAY on renting a shop there when I was there in October. So thinking about it for sure.

Greg,
Happy anniversary... I am going on 39 years
If they stayed with with us this long they know how
crazy we are

I have missed almost everyone of my Wife's birthdays
for the last 14 years attending the Monterey Weekend
in August... I blame it on the Pantera

Hope to see you guys on Friday.... planning on taking
the Pantera for a spin down there for the day now that
it is back in street trim and the brake reservoirs are straightened out

Bob

Holy Cow Bob!! 39 years... Gwen and I actually celebrate our first date versus being married. First date anniversary is 44th! Really "all of our lives" together. I was 18 when we started going out.

YES!!! They know exactly how f'd up we are! LOL --- otherwise - who would have us??

Anyone who was on the fence really missed something here. It was a great very low key event with clear cool weather, and no worries about noise. It was really nice visiting with Chad and Greg Weld. There was a good variety of Ameican Muscle too: )

Hats off to Chad, as he drove all the way up from LA in his car to run. Wow! No trailer.

Regards

Glad you came by Curtis!! It was a great day! Laguna Seca is such a fun track to run. My family wasn't all too thrilled about the temps today - but oh well...

And yes = 100% agree on Chads effort!! OMG --- but isn't that what Pro Touring is SUPPOSED to be about? Drive your car - track your car - take it on a trip... enjoy the crap out of it? And he's a good track driver too!!
