A DAY AT THE RACES - SANTA ANITA RACETRACK

Ted · February 11, 2011, 12:17:51 PM

My wife and I are going to join you guys and gals on this event. We did not have time to sign up in advance, so we will get our own parking, tickets, lunch, etc. We will probably leave in the early afternoon so must have parking that permits this.

Lance, my neighbor, we will follow you to Spagattinis if you let us know what time. Perhaps we can move it back 30 minutes since the ponies are letting us in 30 minutes later?

See you tomorrow!

Crystal blue skies, 80 degree weather, 61 people and 30 Vipers..... >r

You could not have asked for a more perfect day to enjoy a Day at the Races !
A huge THANK YOU to Pam for setting this event up with Santa Anita and Nino for keeping track of all the paid members. A special mention to Hemotox...Eric Johnson for putting this event on the table. What a great idea and incredible venue.

And of course....THANK YOU club MEMBERS for signing up and making this event a success !

Looks like you guys had an awesome time. So sorry I could not be there, the main line rush from my skiing addiction kept me in Mammoth Lakes this weekend. Really looks like you enjoyed the day. Next year for sure, I hope............. <2

California is a great state! 82 degrees in LA, 20 feet of snow in Mammoth.

Thanks very much to Pam and Lance and others for putting everything together for a great event. It was really good to see everyone and their beautiful cars. This event took a lot of planning and we appreciate the efforts! The weather was also perfect and we even got to meet the "Seabiscuit" movie horse!
