Hi everyone,

Please mark your calendar for the next event on APRIL 19-20 for a weekend in OC & the Long Beach Grand Prix (LBGP)!
http://www.gplb.com/schedule.html

2008 is the final year of Champ Car racing and our main event for the weekend will be an Exotic car group drive to the races on Sunday, April 20th. In addition, there will be an OC Exotic car run on Saturday, April 19th with a stop for lunch at HOOTER'S in Anaheim. We will have a number of Exotic cars from out-of-town joining us for the weekend activities.

MOTHERS, one of the main LBGP sponsors, has cooperated with us and provided a "discounted group rate" (vs the normal fee of $100 as seen on the enclosed flyer). The exact rate will depend on the final number of participating cars. Besides 2 general admission tickets to all events on Sunday (at $52/ea) plus gift bags, we will also be parking the exotics in a secure VIP parking area (w/patrolled security). The parking arrangement is a very rare opportunity as we'll be occupying the space left by the LeMans racecars that depart on Saturday night! As seen on the enclosed map, this space is off Shoreline Drive and labeled as the 'ALMS paddock' at Turns 9-11!! You will also be able to exit the paddocks at anytime throughout the day.

Please RSVP asap and upon your RSVP, let me know if it's for the Saturday AND/OR Sunday events:
(1) SUNDAY, April 20th: caravan to the LBGP with VIP parking and general admisson tickets
(2) SATURDAY, April 19th: drive thru OC with lunch at Hooter's in Anaheim -> RSVP with number of people in your party

For the NorCal folks driving down.

Departure: Leave on Friday night the 18th lets say leave around 3pm at Santana Row, arriving in Huntington around 10pm (including gas/bathroom stops and traffic) We can of course discuss other departure times. I don’t mind leaving later and arriving in the early morning to avoid traffic.

Returning: Either Sunday (20th or Monday 21st) (people might have the energy to leave on Sunday or some might want to get some rest and leave on Monday morning?

Hotel : http://www.huntingtonbeach.hyatt.com...tels/index.jsp (make reseravations by phone as no cancelation fees) We are choosing this hotel as it's only 20 minutes from Long Beach, on the beach, very nice hotel, parking and will keep us away from all the tourist/people attending the Grand Prix in Long Beach. It will also give us a nice little drive down to the event.


Please provide your details if going like I am providing below.

1. Fred - 997GT3RS

We will also have a booth showcasing our new line of World Challenge Products for the

I will be either at the booth or in the garage.. Please feel free to ask for me directly and I will gladly escort you in to the 'garage area' incase you have problems getting in.


Our "Garage" space will be closest to the exit doors. Just look for the Blue GMG Ez-up!

Hey Fred,

hope to see you in LB, i ran with you at Gumball 3000 from SF to Miami. I was in the yellow 360 Ferrari.

 

Hi James. I remember you. I believe you own Axis wheels. You are a friend of Simon too correct?

I think you only did part of the drive right?

 

my F1 tranny took a **** in Tucson, I think we were running too hard at Firebird raceway, you were catching up quick and I had to hold you off.

 

Update of those confirmed and meeting at 3pm Friday April 18th at Santana Row.
