i live in manhattan beach. from my place, its about a 2 hour drive to the track, slower if im going to be trailering the car(esp. up the grapevine!!) honestly im not too sure where lemoore is...ok i just mapquested it...your somewhere out by fresno, is that right?
anyways, a bbq at the track sounds like a sweet idea to me! mmm and having other rotorheads and cars there would be great support

we wont be able to come up friday afternoon bc of work etc, the earliest we could come would be friday evening, and we'd probably want to wait until after the traffic dies down. and that depends on if we want to spend an extra night in the hotel and be rested in the morning, or drive up *** early, and save money...hmmm...
