What are you talking about... I'm going and will be in the show... just figure this will be the best way since my car got hit in the parking lot by an idiot at D1... I can make it in 6 hours or less!!!

sure buddy..maybe at like 9pm - 3am...if you hit even a touch of LA or SD traffic you are screwed...and yes, i do know it's possible because i have made it to LA from Santa Cruz in 4 hours...and LA to SD in under 2 hours..it's just not a guarantee...

and i don't show my car...so that's not a reason to go...and the miles just arn't worth it..i'll wait for somethin closer..

[CleanS14]

Hmmm more like 12am-6am... I' actually got their under 6 hours... but didn't look at the time... just passed out when I got home LOL! I do it quite often I'm going to slow down now though cuz no more super nice ride with my Comp2R's...

[nokeone]

yeah i'm just too worried about getting tickets these days...so i try to keep it under 90...except when you go past Harris Ranch in Coalinga..SMELLIEST $HITHOLE IN THE FCUKING WORLD...lol..

[240Degrees]

so how many SD guys are going?

[Anubis]

sounds like fun! and del mar! thats right up the street

[Zenki_S14]

i'll go if you guys go.

[radhaz]

I'm going

[240Degrees]

yeeyuh then i guess ill go too

[revat619]

Well, if you guys are going then i'll go.

Are we going to meet up before?

[CleanS14]

Did you guys here that it was moved to Irwindale??? Maybe they'll have an ametuer drift day too awwwwwwwww yeeeeeeahhhhhh.... shoot if anyone knows the real details please post... cuz I reg'd for the show grrr.

[s13chica]

It says on their website that it is now being held at Irwindale...so I guess that's the new site.

[radhaz]

That sucks, considering I've already bought the tickets. It's gone from being about 20 miles away to over 120.

Hey I am in the same boat.

Another San Diego caravan to Irwindale? Last time was fun!

one a side note; if anyone wants to see a few pics and a video from D1 go to my website Speedmonkeyinc.com.

[CleanS14]

Wow you guys think 120 miles is a lot... I'm driving down from NorCal... see you there.

[Dousan_PG]

mister riceeater
call me when u get down here
maybe we can meet up and get some dinner or something


if not, ill see ya at the event...werd.

[CleanS14]

Yeah sure no prob Dousan... I'll hit you up when I'm down there. I'm parking inside the event this time!!! They better give me that DVD haha!

I hate people who cannot drive in parking lots without hitting cars

[nokeone]

hmm..now that is has been moved 2 hours closer i just may have to come down for this...

[s15dude]

I would be down for a san diego caravan

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

Last time we all met at Speed Alliance. That seemed to work well. If Chris says its ok to use the front of his shop for the meeting place I think that it would work well.

Considering how early this event starts, and what a nightmare it was to get in the gates @ D1 ( pre-bought tickets ) we should leave really early. I say on the road no later 9:30 am, so every one would need to plan on showing up by no later than 9:15am.

What do you people think?

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

I just called Mainstream Productions, the company putting on the event to ask about getting into the event. Anyone who pre-bought tickets for D1 will tell you how crappy it was to have to wait so long while anyone who just showed up for the event got in easily.
The guy I talked too didn't seem to realize that the ticket issue at D1 was far from ideal, but he did seem to think that everyting was going to go well based on the drift showoff in March. I was not at that event. Can anyone share their experinces getting into the event?

[s15dude]

Ok sounds good so far, I will ask chris@speedalliance if its cool we meet there again, I see him everyday and dont see nay problems with the idea. gettin into the march drift showoff wasnt bad, but not great, everyone swarmed the line and we got there an hour early and still had to wait 45 mins or so in line. they were very unorganized, but maybe better this time??
