A DAY AT THE RACES - SANTA ANITA RACETRACK

PCH VIPER · February 08, 2011, 08:37:37 PM

I spoke with the organizers at Santa Anita today and got some clarification on our event Saturday.

We will be led into the infield PRIOR to the General Public being allowed into the park. If you want to park in the infield with your Viper, you HAVE to enter in with the group. Once the group has been led into the infield, the tunnel will be closed. If you arrive late, you will have to park in the general parking lot outside.

Family vehicles will not be allowed inside the infield either. If you are driving a Family car, you will still meet the the SoCal Vipers group at Fashion Mall where we will distribute the Parking/Admission tickets. Family cars will use the parking ticket to park for free in the outer lot. Vipers will be escorted through the tunnel into the infield.

Our Vipers will not be allowed to exit the infield until shortly after the last horse race is run, which is around 4:45. If you plan on leaving early, please park in the outer lot.

***** I just received an email from Santa Anita that our entrance time to the park has been delayed by 30 minutes. We need to be at their gate at 10:30 am.

We will now meet at the Fashion Mall as planned at 10:00 instead of 9:30.

This will give us a bit more time in the morning to get there.

Meet point times from outer areas will slide by 30 minutes as well.

Sooooo, does this mean that we humans are not allowed to exit the infield as well, or is there a tunnel/bridge that we can use to access the outer facilities?

Hey Glenn,

I was there for a company picnic once and yes there is a tunnel that you can use to access the outer facilities and that's why I think they don't want the Vipers to be moved once they are in place.

Pam · February 10, 2011, 02:59:09 PM

They want us to bet... and have provided us with some info, etc., regarding that which we received with the tickets. So there "must" be a way to easily access the betting area (and restrooms!) See the post as we've just now (3PM Thursday) made final changes. The buffet will be served between 12-2pm. The first Race is at 12:30. I think you're pretty much free to roam at will once in and parked. It's just that the cars can't be firing up & moving while the horses are on the track.

Thanks, Art & Pam!
Look forward to seeing you both on Sat.

Ok, so if everyone shows up we will have a total of approx. 22,800 horses. (38 V's) Are they all gonna fit? >l >m =5
800 of those are mine. I know, I know.... >4

<B One last change in the San Diego bunch leaving. >1
Due to not knowing what traffic we might get into, a couple of you have told me that we'd better leave the Park N Ride at 7:45 so be there before that and ready to pull out at 7:45. I'm sure there's a Starbucks or something in case we get there early and can keep ourselves well entertained until time to head over to the track. Now, who's gonna teach me how to win some $$ on those ponies? =28

You'll be in good hands Pam <L

DMC94 · February 11, 2011, 08:10:31 AM

Because of a previous committment we're gonna have to get out of Dodge early (about 3 - 3:30). That being the case, I guess we have to park in the regular lot. Will it be open or opened when we get there or do we have to wait for the lot to open at ?? o'clock. In addition, will there be anyone else parking in the regular lot so my Viper doesn't get lonely? =5

PCH VIPER · February 11, 2011, 09:33:37 AM

Hey Darryl,
You will still meet with us at 10:00 at Fashion Mall to get your admittance/parking tickets.
We'll all pull into the outer lot together at 10:30.
Those in family cars and Vipers which need to leave early will park in the outer lot. There is an access gate right there that will lead us to the tunnel to the infield. Those in Vipers will drive through the tunnel, everyone else will walk through the tunnel.

For anyone who is up early and wants to go to a car show....Michael Greenberg will be at the Flintridge Mall at 6:30am 1919 Verdugo Blvd, La Canada Fltrdg, CA Behind the movie theater on the north side of the road.
There are about 150 + cars on Sat morning and from there it is a short drive over to Santa Anita.
