we'll probably take I5 again. last year we set a meeting point for the bay area and sacramento people at a rest stop just south of Tracy on I5...then it's a straight shot...

New to the Sacramento area and I'm in! Ok, so I'm not that new. I've been here since June but I couldn't afford to go anywhere.

You know that Berry and I are in. But we're only taking one of the 7's. The FC will be gone by the time SS9 comes around so it's FD time! And the rest stop just outside of Tracy on I-5 sounds like a plan. What day and time??

Yep, Nader you know I am going.

Lets leave earlier this time. Last time we didn't even get on the road until 1 pm and didn't get to the hotel at 11 pm.

I am thinking we meet up with the Sac guys around 10am Friday the 27th at the Tracey rest stop, then even if it takes 8 hours, we will be in before it is too late. And that is enough time for anyone that wants to go to Dromo (its like RPM in Sac and the last couple of years has been the 7stock friday night pre-gathering) Friday night still time to eat and go.

And Nick and Ben need to do some thing about fuel mileage and more comfortable seats... stopping every 100 miles for gas sucked.

heh, i didn't have the standalone last time, this trip i could lean it out for 28ish MPG on the trip down.

i didn't necessarily need to stop as often as we did, i did need to because my gas gauge reads empty at almost 1/2 tank so it is hard to gauge how much is left after that. when we were filling up i was still only getting about 7-8 gallons into the tank but Nick was the one putting in 10+ gallons.

Oh now worries about mileage, I just didn't want to stop every 100 miles for gas again. But obviously if I am in the minority on that; I'll stop with the rest.

Hey if you have your Dinner ticket, mention that too. If we can get 8-10 people with the Saturday night 7 Stock Banquet/dinner tickets, we can get our own Nor Cal table. To purchase your SS9 Banquet Tickets please visit www.Rotary13B1.com/ss9.html

To paypal a $5 donation for Nader to attend the dinner, paypal to me at icemark@sbcglobal.net and I'll buy him one with the money anyone donates,


1. Nader/Funkspectum/Multi color TII
2. Mark/ Icemark/ Red FC3C - dinner
3. Zach & Berry/ BoostedRex/ FD
4. Jason/ DragonRx7/ Black TII
5. Gerrit / Bastard / White S4 TII

I'm out here by richmond. I've been wondering what the hell was going on, who what where, etc. There should be a sticky thread on this for the list and time.

We should set something up to meet, I know at least 3 or 4 rotary guys are coming from Reno, so we could meet you guys in Sac or some where on the way to I-5.
