Anyone making any plans for a roadtrip up north for drift day 6?

I'm thinking about leaving on maybe the 3rd of July (dd6 is 5th i think). That would give about a day to check the car following the 360 mile drive from home.

If anyone needs a place to stay for a night, I can probably bargain with my dumbass roommates to let some people sleep in the apartment in San Jose. *note you'd probably be sleeping on the floor... at least it's carpeted.

So, anyone in? Mind you... these plans aren't final, but at least the idea is out there. yeah.

pruto · 06-14-2003, 10:58 AM

i plan on going up, but i have work the night of the 3rd. I don't want to get out of work for more than two days (i work friday and sunday nights too). =/

as for a place to stay, if i can't find a place to crash, i'll PM you =). but how far away from 3Com is your place? last time i was in San Jo it was another hour and half drive to the bay after that.

MrMigs · 06-15-2003, 12:46 AM

Dunno.. I've never been to the 3com/candlestick park or whatever.

itsybitsy240sxEy · 06-15-2003, 01:02 AM

hey mike, this is janet.. adriel's friend. driving up together in a group seems fun, i'm just not sure which day i'm gonna be driving up. hopefully the 3rd (=

paul, can't you just say you can't work on friday?

furanzhu · 06-15-2003, 02:03 AM

If you want to drive together to North Cal,
I am up to it.

Franz.
Hopefully somebody still remember me

i'm not working friday, but i don't want to leave thursday (cause i won't be able to work thursday as well)

MrMigs · 06-17-2003, 12:40 AM

Oh hey janet I remember you. Is Danny entered in the event?

Dousan_PG · 06-17-2003, 01:32 AM

yes, both danny and janet are registered.
how do i know? i did the paypal for them

ootranceformeroo · 06-17-2003, 01:42 AM

Daym im not registered but i live in NorCal. Ill be there though. Next event when I have my car ready. I wanna see how the SoCal guys/girls do. See you guys there. Mr. Migs I wanna check out your car again. Last time I only saw it at the DeAnza Autocross.

MrMigs · 06-17-2003, 11:53 AM

Yep. Can't miss it. I'll probably be one of the only green kouki S14s with the zenki tails on it.

I have different rims now tho...

Time to update my signature pic.

ootranceformeroo · 06-17-2003, 03:35 PM

which rims are those? they look like Impuls.

MrMigs · 06-18-2003, 12:08 AM

They're some old skool Ray's -- the Sebring line according to the centercap. They were made in 1990, and I can't find any online reference to them anywhere. They're called Zeiger 5 Sport.

ootranceformeroo · 06-18-2003, 01:32 AM

oh thats cool. How many SoCal people are comming here to dd6?

if you check the event list for those attending...it shows you Name, Car, and Location of all the drivers..

MrMigs · 06-18-2003, 01:07 PM

indeed...

Upon going to the gas station today, I spotted one of the entrants of the D1 Driver's search parked in front of the garage. Burgundy S14 with cf hood and Sonic the Hedgehog stickers

I wanted to find out who it was, cus he (or maybe she) did pretty good at Irwindale a few days ago. Couldn't find the person tho unless it was the manager's car... which would have been.... insane...

I juander if that person is on zilvia... Oh Jah, gas station was in Alhambra corner of New and Valley. hmm...

itsybitsy240sxEy · 06-18-2003, 01:52 PM

did that burgundy s14 you saw have three spoke wheels when he was competing on sunday? if so.. i do believe the person you saw is Casper. my friend and i met him once at that same gas station to look at some rims he was selling. wow. everyone lives so close by!

Dousan_PG · 06-18-2003, 02:01 PM

ya he'shella cool!! thanks for letting me use our wire cutters bro!

really nice guy. his skills have improved A LOT since the first time out there!

looking good and car is soooo nice

MrMigs · 06-18-2003, 10:14 PM

uh yeah 3-spokes... so Casper then
/me turns on stalking mode haha j/k

GotDriftS14 · 06-20-2003, 05:59 AM

you bastard. you are supposed to be up here before july 3rd damn you. i have yet to view your new wheelage. i command you to return to nor-cal at once, or there will be dire consequences.

MrMigs · 06-20-2003, 01:27 PM

Dire consequences indeed.... Nice sig pic foo haha

Man... traveling back and forth from northern to southern cali.... ive been to a lot of the rest stops.. I found this one place that has a crap load of places to eat, including In & Out and has like 3 or 4 gas stations. It's thee best cus it's right in between, and it's not all dirty and **** like some of the other stops. moohaha

ahhhhh yes...you refer to Kettleman City...it is almost exactly the half way point...170 miles to LA or to Santa Cruz (for me)...

however while it does have the best food...if you wish to stop and gas up you will do much better to stop in Buttonwillow where you will always find gas AT LEAST 15-20 cents cheaper per gallon...

how do i know?..because i went to school at UCLA and had a girlfriend back in Santa Cruz..car got 30,000 + miles of Interstate 5 in 2 years...lol..

MrMigs · 06-20-2003, 03:35 PM

ahh that is indeed valuable information. And yes, Kettleman City is the bestest for food

Anything for the ladies, eh Nokeone?

So anyways, let's get some official info down... When is everyone planning to leave for dd6? I was thinking July 3.

furanzhu · 06-20-2003, 03:51 PM

July 3rd sound good for me, I'm on for that.

:hammer:

pruto · 06-20-2003, 07:48 PM

harris ranch is really good place to stop and eat, not cheap like fast food, but mmmm, good steak. i also like that skillet place, its a trucker stop. When i travel i really like to hit up the local eateries, the best food can be found there. Fast food chains are so.. i dunno, unadventerous =) mmm, can't wait till i hit up that hotdog place in berkeley... mmmm, sooo good...

if you're really bored, there is also some good seafood places if you take the 1/101 up north. that place in FTF is on the 1, and i heard actually pretty good (never been there myself).

beware of the road around Big Sur tho

furanzhu · 06-20-2003, 09:20 PM

Let's think about where to meet, and let's decide what day we should do the trip.

Is Everyone agree with July 3rd?

We should exchange information like cell phone number and name of people want to go on July 3rd.

psidriven · 06-22-2003, 11:37 PM

i'm leaving for norcal thursday night (July 3) from oc. can someone get an e-mail list going. down to drive up w/ some people to make the ride less boring.

3com is about 30-40 min from san jose on the 101 if that question wasn't answered.

thanks
tony

MrMigs · 06-23-2003, 02:36 AM

Looks like there's a small group of ppl for july 3rd. It should be easy enough to make a small list of who is going etc.

As far as a meeting spot/time is concerned... I was thinking my house (or some's house) around noonish. The reason I say house is cuz some ppl might need to use the internet to get some last-minute info from mapquest... happens sometimes... plus I have juice and you can do some last-minute pre-roadtrip checkups on your car. (I have some extra coolant and oil and junk just in case).

I live in San Gabriel -- the reason I say noon is because... well... driving sleepy isn't that great... one of my cousins actually got into a pretty dangerous accident because he chose to drive while drifting into slumberland

So then how does that sound? any other suggestions for time/place?

0h n0! you arent talking about that 3000% grape juice stuff are you? that stuff is hardcore, i think you can water it down and make like 55 gallon drum full of it and it would still taste the same.

anyway, are you staying in SJ after the event? norcal touge is calling your name.

MrMigs · 06-24-2003, 10:37 AM

haha i dunno meng... maybe for a day or two.
