Hey Tuck, don't forget my pass.

Just heard from Sawzall, he and Tok will be leaving after work on the 16th. They will be camping.

We are staying at the Raddisson in Roseville.

I'll be there. I do the video for the MSRA so if you see me cruising around in a golf cart shooting video or taking pictures give me a shout. I'd love to meet some of you face to face and also get a shot of your car for the video. Maybe even do a section of HAMB cars only if I meet enough of you.

I'll be there Wed afternoon to get in line for camping.

Most of the Suedes CC will be there then as well. We are leaving the FM area around 8am.

This is the first year my wife will be heading down on the same day as me so she has forced me to allow her to drive the roadster down and I get camper tow duty.:p

Hey Mel or anyone else that is planning on camping.

It sounds like they are setting the campground up different this year for fire code reasons and they estimate they will loose 200 spots http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. In the last newsletter they listed other campgrounds in the area.

I hope everyone gets in!

We are planning on arriving around 11 am or so on Wed.

my favorite time is waiting in line at around midnight, and then watching the fights start between the guys who have been there all night, and the other guys who cut in line. pull up a lawn chair on como ave, right by the gate, on friday or saturday morning. its a serious good time. David

Well shit, I guess my roadster will not be making the trip this year. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

The rear end was clunking from it being too sloppy (need gear set)so I pulled it out on Sunday night and readjusted the axle bells. I had a little trouble getting the cage bearing on the front of the torque tube in and I must have damaged it as it developed a nice ticking sound every time the drive shaft spins.

So I will be on foot. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
