Our thinking is leave 3pm, getting on 280 with some traffic thru San Jose and Gillroy but then clears up after that. We should arrive in Huntington after Friday rush hour in SoCal. As well this allows us to arrive at a decent time and get some dinner/rest before the Saturday drive.

You better make it!!

I think i have someone coming to look at the Turbo soon... Hopefully i'll find a GT3 before then.... The one i was set on is pretty much sold unless i can come up with 70+k by tonight... But believe man, i'm trying my best.

Fred, I'll be flying down there. I'll definitely look for you guys once I'm there.
And if I'm honest, I don't see myself keeping up with you guys in my plain jane C2!

But it should be a terrific weekend.

And congrats on the GTS...it's beautiful.

  • UPDATE: 30 cars confirmed....I expect 40-50 more in next couple weeks!
  • Went to coordinate with some folks today and snapped some semi-decent iphone pics...
Here's a view looking down Shoreline...the racetrack, Turn 11. Start/Finish is just past the Toyota banner:


Rotating to my right...our seats in the grandstands at Turn 10:


Up close to the action:


Right behind our seats...the secure parking area where the cars will be roped off and tours given down each parking aisle. Turn 9 is behind the 3rd trailer on the right:




Come on out!

3) Porsche GT3RS (green!)
4) Ferrari F40
5) Lamborghini TwinTurbo Gallardo Spyder (only one in the world)
6) Ferrari 355
7) Lamborghini Gallardo
8) Ferrari 575

31) Dan
32) '01 titanium Lotus Esprit
33) Lamborghini Diablo Roadster VT
34) Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 (dark grey..sick)
35) Lamborghini Murcielago - (Monterey Blue)
No guarantees but here's a taste of some cars I'm waiting on responses for:
1) 3-4 Carrera GT's
2) Ferrari Enzo (lives 1 hour away and if not, owner will bring his Diablo)
3) Nissan R35 GT-R (yes, the new one in black)
4) Gumpert Apollo (if it gets across the water in time to the US by the 20th)
5) Of course Lambos and Ferraris galore
