mav1178 · 06-13-2002, 12:52 AM

Here's a hint for you:

On a Friday, the "afternoon commute" starts at 7AM, I kid you not.

I'll say it again:  taking the 101 will only add to your nightmarish experience of LA traffic jams on a Friday afternoon.  There are parts of LA that clog up right through 9~10PM on weeknights...

Take the I-5 to the 210 to the 605 to the 5, that is the fastest way to get to the hotel.  You take any other way, you'll be stuck in so much traffic you'd cry.

BlackFox · 06-13-2002, 02:28 AM

That's why we have maps to work our way through the city and we have extra time set aside, we're gonna pick people up along the way but if some of you want to for a caravan to take hwy 5 go ahead.

got an email back from Alex, Looks like I got myself an appointment sat night for tech

Danio · 06-13-2002, 04:25 AM

I don't know what the roads are like, but would it be possible to take 101 and switch over to another highway before reaching LA to avoid the traffic jams?

S14.5 · 06-13-2002, 05:14 PM

WELL according to my list, the people i know from ni-2 are taken cared of, and so far like i had mentioned Badmojo and silverx240sx! you guys need to email me because its coming up so we can make further plans and changes on the way to LA for stops to pick up people and etc. Just email me because it makes life so much easier  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Hey I drank a lot that night!! lol. Quickest way to L.A. is taking the 101 south from SJ, to 152 east through the mountains, to the 5 south to L.A. From L.A. were gonna have to find alternate routes to avoid traffic. I have a good buddy of mine who lives in L.A. but goes to school here so I'll ask him what routes to take. BTW the fastest time it took me to get down to L.A. was 3.5 hours. Of course this was on a Sat. morning and I took the 5 the whole way down.....and this was in a mini-van...LOL I'll email you soon Mike.

just a suggestion:

i think at leastr one or two of you guys should have a V1, cause its a proven fact that people in caravans love to have "fun" <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

sup guys...this is justin...sqxcons bro(jason). 152 is near down gilroy and cuts across from 101 to 5. This is a nice section with rolling hills and turns.

V1 is a Valentine One radar detector. I'll bring it with me if I decide to go with my bro.

'>  I suggest That we take 101 down to San Luis Obispo, pick me up, keep goin on the 101, the hit the 154 through the "pass" into SB, that will save some time. The back on the 101 down to till we hit the 5 and take that the rest of the way right to the hotel.

BlackFox · 06-14-2002, 12:22 AM

I say just keep it simple and go 101 until around hollywood then cut into the city if necessary. If 152 jams, which is does pretty often (first part is 2 way 1 lane) you're gonna be stuck there for days. Since we should have plenty of time, we have to make an effort to leave on time, even a bit of a traffic backup in LA should not make us late.

BadMoJo- Don't worry, at least I will swing by San Luis  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  

154 is toward Slovang? Doesn't that take even longer?

Note: everyone and their mother take 5 to LA so it will be busy no matter what, once it goes into LA.

We should have at least 2 groups, one for the cruisers and one for you speed demons.
What's everyone's comfortable hwy speed (mine is around 80 depending on the area, slow down in Santa Maria hills/ SB speed traps everywhere)

Hey, just had an idea when I was at TriCity Sporting Goods today. There's t-shirts that say "Nor * Cal" (the '*' is a star). They're like 19 bucks but it might be cool if we had shirts, just an idea.

SQ-XcON S13 · 06-15-2002, 05:53 AM

Hey Jeff, I know what brand youre talking about, lol.  I was gonna get a 'Nor*Cal' hat. haha.  Anyways, 152 in the morning shouldn't be a problem with traffic (man, talk about traffic on the 152 in the evening on a friday on a holiday!!  I was stuck there for 3 hours, PLUS there was an accident and some civillian directing traffic! lol!! took me 10 hours to get to L.A. that time, hahhaa.) but I wouldn't mind taking 101 tho, cuz I ALWAYS wanted to take 101 but from what I was told, it takes hella long and there are cops everywhere.  But since were just gonna cruise (or maybe I should borrow my brother's V1?   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> ) I wouldn't mind taking that drive.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Let's all decide on this soon, even tho we still have a while left to go till the convention.  Oh yeah, and Alex, if you read this, I will be cutting out a check to you soon but I'm afraid that I won't be attending the track event...no helmet   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Hotel 1 - Event hotel

The event hotel's $79 rooms are for either 1 or 2 persons. Reservations need to be made before July 8.

You can fit more people into one room if you'd like to split the cost more, but you only get 2 beds and 2 hotel room keys.

In my group, I'm sleeping on the bed. =P J/k... We'll decide later. Right now three of us sharing one room for sure, but we might get one or two or three more people later to save some money.

BlackFox · 06-17-2002, 04:01 AM

We're gonna break the group up into 2 or 3 sub groups right? because we're bound to get separated if we have that many cars. Don't forget to get walkietalkies people.

Someone wanna split a room? or a few people?

I think a second stop in Thousand Oaks might be good. It's nice and open, we can stop at the automall. There's gas and food. If you fill up in San Luis you should be able to make it into LA (depending on gas mileage)...... post up your gas mileage and Danio could you edit the gas mileage into the list of people so it's easier to read. Thanks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Danio · 06-17-2002, 07:07 AM

Yeah I was thinking we'll have sub-groups, and each one will have a "leader" responsible for keeping his group together and not losing anyone. Each leader will also have his group's phone numbers. Hehheh we should report in like Star Wars. ^_^ "Red 2, standing by." "Red 5, standing by."

I think if we fill up twice along the way (about every 120 miles), we should all be fine. IIRC the trip will be about 350 miles from San Jose. If your car can't travel more than 120 miles without having to refuel, please let us know. =)

Usually I refuel after going about 230 miles, and about 270 miles if it's all highway.

I think we should also have a stop or two before San Luis Obispo.

By the way, Alex said NorCal has about 15 people registered for the Convention so far, so I guess we have most of the NorCal people in our caravan. =) If you haven't registered already, please do so soon. REGISTER

Well, we're stoping in Salinas to pick up Cole so that can be a stop there. That should divide up the space inbetween stops pretty well.

I drove 366 miles on my last tank, warning light was on and off. So it doesn't really matter to me where we stop. I say less stops the better.

Anyone want to room with me? or a 4 person room?

The back on the 101 down to till we hit the 5 and take that the rest of the way right to the hotel. __________________ ----Gone----

If 152 jams, which is does pretty often (first part is 2 way 1 lane) you're gonna be stuck there for days. Since we should have plenty of time, we have to make an effort to leave on time, even a bit of a traffic backup in LA should not make us late. BadMoJo- Don't worry, at least I will swing by San Luis  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>   154 is toward Slovang? Doesn't that take even longer? Note: everyone and their mother take 5 to LA so it will be busy no matter what, once it goes into LA. We should have at least 2 groups, one for the cruisers and one for you speed demons. What's everyone's comfortable hwy speed (mine is around 80 depending on the area, slow down in Santa Maria hills/ SB speed traps everywhere) __________________ Current Cars: 1976 Mercedes Benz 300D 1995 240sx SE aka Kate (winner: Best Stock S14 @ 2002 National Convention) http://community.webshots.com/user/jeff976cal If you're interested in parts email me [email protected]

There's t-shirts that say "Nor * Cal" (the '*' is a star). They're like 19 bucks but it might be cool if we had shirts, just an idea. __________________ Current Cars: 1976 Mercedes Benz 300D 1995 240sx SE aka Kate (winner: Best Stock S14 @ 2002 National Convention) http://community.webshots.com/user/jeff976cal If you're interested in parts email me [email protected]

Reservations need to be made before July 8. You can fit more people into one room if you'd like to split the cost more, but you only get 2 beds and 2 hotel room keys. In my group, I'm sleeping on the bed. =P J/k... We'll decide later. Right now three of us sharing one room for sure, but we might get one or two or three more people later to save some money.

Don't forget to get walkietalkies people. Someone wanna split a room? or a few people? I think a second stop in Thousand Oaks might be good. It's nice and open, we can stop at the automall. There's gas and food. If you fill up in San Luis you should be able to make it into LA (depending on gas mileage)...... post up your gas mileage and Danio could you edit the gas mileage into the list of people so it's easier to read.

Each leader will also have his group's phone numbers. Hehheh we should report in like Star Wars. ^_^ "Red 2, standing by." "Red 5, standing by." I think if we fill up twice along the way (about every 120 miles), we should all be fine. IIRC the trip will be about 350 miles from San Jose. If your car can't travel more than 120 miles without having to refuel, please let us know. =) Usually I refuel after going about 230 miles, and about 270 miles if it's all highway. I think we should also have a stop or two before San Luis Obispo. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (BlackFox @ June 16 2002,9:01)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">We're gonna break the group up into 2 or 3 sub groups right? because we're bound to get separated if we have that many cars.
