wait for the 'official' caravans to startup. the caravans are more fun than the actual event in my opinion. there's usually one that stops in the valley then goes to sb from there.

LOL - I won't take the E30 into LA but I can pick you (and your bro) up in the E36 but then change cars at home and do the rest of the trip in the E30 :stickoutt

Just let me know if plans change :D

Remember to drive careful guys! Check your suspension and tires before you start doing high speeds!

The highest speed I'll be doing is ...maybe... 75 - if the traffic is flowing that fast (normally does on the 101 to SB except past the Rose exit and then once into Carp it slows down again.

Oh and if I avoid those pulling shenanigans on the freeway :mad like the plague.

good god it's so early though.

When this used to be held at Cutter Motors (high end lux car dealership in SB) they would open the gates at 9am to let cars in and the lot would be full by 9:10am. Lots of people now spend the night in SB so they don't have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn. So there are plenty of folks there at 9am, whether the caravans make it there on time or not. But if you want to be late and try to figure out what spots are left at 10:30am when you stroll in from leaving the Valley at 9am. :stickoutt
