Shall we just meet up at the shop then? What time fellas?

Eugene.. I might have a spare Let me see! I think they're 20 bucks there at the day of the event

 

Thanks Alex, ticket or not... I'm planning to go. If you have a spare, I can buy it from you. Your shop is a good meeting place, just let us know what time and I'll be there.

 

That could be cool. However, I am coming down from Truckee, so the earliest I would be coming through your area would be noon to 1:00. I don't want anyone waiting on me and the family. I am driving down to Monterey on Saturday just to get my tickets for Sunday. Staying at a resort in Aptos through Tuesday.

Would love to see your shop though.

 

If I drive down on Saturday, I can meet up at any time. Just let me know when you think you'll be heading out. There's also a possibility that I'll already be down there from Friday -- I'm thinking I might go down towards Big Sur and pitch a tent at one of the campgrounds on the coast. Just a crazy idea....

 

OK guys looks like a few of us meeting here at the shop. What time do you guys want to do that?

 

Just make your call Alex; I can be there any time.

 

Looking forward to the event. I likely won't be able to caravan with you guys, but I'll see you there.

 

I'm pretty stoked as well. I wish I could take the 964 or the turbo, but too much stuff to carry with the family. I'll be in the Cayenne **** - black if I see any of you on the road. (man that sounded pretty duschy!) O'well!

 

Alex, I'm in for Saturday. Just post up a time to meet at Shark Werks.

 

Good, Marco is going too.

 

Ok yes let's figure out a time. Usually takes about 1hour 45mins to get there... What time does it start Saturday?

Tickets say 7:00 am - ouch!

 

Damn... so that means gulp.. 5:30am at the shop??? What do you guys think? I'm all ears

 

Yeah - that's a tough call (and time in the morning) -- which is why I might try to stay down there Fri night. If I do go down on Sat morning, I'd be tempted to leave later in the morning and hope for the best with traffic and parking. I don't really watch the actual race events, as much as just walk around and take it all in.

Since I'm iffy for Sat, it really should be everyone else's call.
