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.

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.

Nice! I will let people know about this NorCal to SS14 Caravan!

Thanks FunkJaw!

-Andy

I hear ya I do.. this is just when me and a couple of my buddies are gonna go. By all means if someone would like to make a caravan that leaves earlier that is quite alright. I just figured I give an all is welcome to join us type thing to the club.

Its cool I was just checking.

Want me to sticky it

Casey I wanna see your damn car at Sevenstock!
EDIT: That's right. The infamous SmogSUXorZ is going to SevenStock again!

Yeah Alex you can make it a sticky that would be cuil.

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. :suspect:

^ We'd love to have you Casey. If not we'll see you on Sat!

Wait...isn't Rx7what's name Casey? Fuckkk I'm getting sn and real life names all fucked up.

LOLZ! I guess it's possible there may be 2 people with the same name. Been having nightmares about that chick in your avatar coming to see my car!

--UPDATE--

We will be leaving the 1st rest stop in tracy at 11:00am (instead of 10:30am).

TY Mike :D

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.

Ah good. I was like I'm 99% sure hes Casey, but yeah....lol that fuckin 1%. How bad is the fender?

Not that bad, it just flaked the paint :( Oh well, now I can just paint the whole car.

Will be meeting whoever goes at the kettleman stop :D

^ Sounds good.. we should be there around 1:15-1:30

How many people are confirmed for this caravan. Looks like I'll be meeting you guys at point C.
