Thumbs up Norcal Caravan for SevenStock 14!!!

Ok guys, I know this is last minute, but here it is. I originally was just going to drive down with 4 or 5 RX buddies from the Bay Area but I figured I might as well let every else know in case they would like to join us.

We will be leaving the meet up point (I-5 rest stop) no latter than 10:30am with minimal resting time.. between 10-20 minutes each stop (excluding lunch). Reason being is because I have to pick my girlfriend up around 6-7pm at LAX. SO YES WE WILL HIT SMACK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHEN WE GET TO LA. So if that is a problem with you, you may want to figure something else out lol.

Here it is.. Oh and this is pretty much a copy and paste from Nader's caravan thread:

Here is a direct link to our route: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Un...mra=ls&t=h&z=8

THE MEET UP POINT:Tracy rest stop (south bound I-5) - This is the first rest stop after the 580 and I-5 merge.



Again, this is the first rest stop you get too after the I-580 South and I-5 south merge.

Leaving the Tracey South bound I-5 Rest stop at ~ 10:30AM.

Why don't you leave a little earlier? You could always wait at LAX for a little or go back later in the day. Why hold everyone else up?

I believe there is a go cart meet up friday evening that some people might want to attend.

Am I getting called out? I seriously doubt I'll be in this caravan though. I will be going to sevenstock though. Thanks for putting this together Mike. If I mysteriously get sick Friday, I'll hop in there with you guys.

Yes Nick, my name is Casey as well. I will be bringing the 95 to seven stock no matter what. I have been chasing a small electrical problem for months that turned out to be a bad PCM. New one should be here middle of next week.

I'm kidda bummed though I totally blasted my front passenger fender lip pulling into a parking lot recently. I need a roll bad.

lets gets a list going guys?
Caravan leaders

Make sure you give out a small safety brief before rolling and make sure everyone obeys posted speed limits. We need everyone to make it to sevenstock alive and trouble free. See everyone there.

Alex
