Hey Guys,
Michael and Virgina, i.e. The "Qs", have invited us back to Spring Mountain for the weekend of May 5 & 6.
For those of you that have driven SM in the past, it's about the best track weekend you could imagine.
I don't have details yet but can tell you that if it's like the last several visits, track fees are very low and include breakfast and lunch in the Members only clubhouse, our own run groups, i.e. Novice and Advanced, and more track time than you can get anywhere else.
Please post here is you'd like to attend as we will need to let the track know how many will be driving and attending (for meals).
There are a couple of hotels available in Pahrump. Most of our guys normally stay at the "Nugget".
I'll post more details as they become available.
Regards,
Dan

I just reserved a room at the Nugget and all they have left are 13 smoking rooms. I guess something's going on out there that weekend.
They never seem to have enough rooms in Pahrump. Get them while they are available.
Michael is looking into getting condos at the track. Will let you know.
Dan <2
I'm in why is my name not on the list
<19
Hirk
Glad you can make it Scott.
Dan
Is anyone going to be driving out? I don't want to make the trek on my own!
Should be a group driving out from LA / OC.
Don't think you'll want to follow me as I'll be "trailering".
Will likely be at the normal stop, Lenwood off ramp, at Carl's JR just before Barstow at about lunch time.

Hey Scott... You can run with me and be my Scout. Just in case we have those spring desert rains and flash floods. >l
This is the only time of the S/M weekend I can say Dan can't keep up ^6 ^7 ^9 <1

I never got to ride in the back seat. Guess I was born special <L >m
Whitewalls rule!...
I'd be interested in going to this! Please also put me down for a room if they are still available. Thanks
Hey I'm nobody's scout! I was hoping someone else was driving the Viper out not trailering. Let me know.

Hi Leo,
Glad you are planning to drive with us.
You will need to make your own room reservations though.
Dan
.Dan,
I just found out I have an event with Diann so I can't go. You guys have fun, wish I could go
Mike
Dan,
Justin and I will be going. Please sign us up.
thanks
Mike Fujita
Mike,
You guys going to be driving out on Friday? We should meet up since I will be solo.
Hirk
Ted and Mira are interested in attending this event but will check on a Room first.
Btw, some good racing in ALMS at the LB GP today! The party is waiting for the GTS-R Gen V!
Scott,
Yes, usually we drive with Lance. we will make a stop at Chevron station at Foothill Blvd and I-15 in Etieanda. I will check with Lance as to time he intend to start the trip hire in OC. We can meet up in Etieanda.
Mike F
Mike,
I know Lance is signed up but I'm not sure if he is coming. Anyway we can meet out there at the Chevron as we normally do.
I changed my room reservation to a room at the track. Anyone else staying there?
I'll meet you guys in Barstow at Carl's Jr. off Lenwood.
What time will you be there?
Ben
Ben, I'm staying there too.
>o
I have stuff going on with my girls Fri and Sat which I can't change...so I'm missing the BEST track event that our Club does.
My guess is that you guy's should do as we have in the past and try to meet up at the Chevron at 10:15
12659 Foothill Blvd, Etiwanda, CA 91739
Quick link to Chevron location (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=12659+Foothill+Blvd,+Etiwanda,+CA+91739&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.724817,56.25&ie=UTF8&ll=34.107434,-117.528734&spn=0.008866,0.013733&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr)
This should put you at Lenwood around 11:30.
Ben,
I would guess if we roll by 10:30 we should see you 11:30-12 can't remember how long it takes to get there.
it is only about a 1 hour drive from Etiwanda to Barstow
All,
Michael has invited us to join him at his home on Friday night for a happy hour, as we usually do, so please let me know who will be attending so that I can advise him (of how much Booze to buy!)
Regards,
Dan <2

It takes one hour forty two minutes from our part of town
driving 75 mph pulling a trailer. >l <19
Dan,
I'll be there Friday night at the Q's.
Thanks
Dan,
I'll be at the Q's Friday night as well if I can hitch a ride from the track from someone........
ScottP
I'll be at Mikes Friday night plus 1 guest
Scott,
Should be some guys staying at the track, so hitching a ride should be easier than in the past. If not, we'll help you out.
Dan
Hey Scott and anyone else,
I'm staying at the track so I can give you a ride to the Q's if you still need.
It's only my Tundra tow vehicle and not the Viper, though.
See you there,
Ben
Dan,
Justin F and I will be at the Q's on Friday evening.

Alright..., I'm in! I just got the hall pass and won't be changing diapers this weekend! >g
I'll be driving the Radical at the track and will meet up at the Chevron in Etiwanda at 10:15 AM on Friday. I'm staying at the track (in the Viper Club block of rooms) and will be at the Q's for Friday's happy hour. >v
Brent
Look forward to seeing the radical guy =15
Thanks Dan and Ben for the offer - I'm looking foward to the weekend.
ScottP
I'm in need of a set of toyo 888 tires. 295/30/18 for the front of my snake. Anyone have any let me know. Also open toa complete set if you have something let me know.
Scott,
Talk to Jon B at Parts Rack - I know he has some. He was offering a complete set for $1,175, may sell fronts only?
Hope that helps.
ScottP
Weather is looking good, in the 80's!
Anyone trailering that will be meeting at Carl's off Lenwood at 11:30-12:00 this Friday?
We'll be there.....
D <2
I just got back from Vegas and the weather was gorgeous !
I'm so bummed I'm not going to make it out there with you guys =17
I know Hirko, Mike, Justin and Bruce will be at the Chevron in Rancho Cucamonga in the morning.
Unfortunately, duty calls and we cannot make the Q Event. >o
We hope to see you all on or off the track soon!
Have fun!
All,
The Q has asked our group to join him on Saturday night for a BBQ at a local friends house.
A fireworks show (literally) will follow.
Come hungry and bring chairs.
Dan =27
Ben,
I'm hoping to leave my place around 10:30 am putting me at Lynwood around 11:30, however; I'm in the motorhome and towing so I'm somewhat unpredictable. I'll either see you there or on the road.
Scottp
Are the drivers (as opposed to trailers) going to meet in Etawanda at 10:15 this Friday? If so, who is going to be there?
Wow... that's quite the upgrade, from happy hour to BBQ and fireworks! I'm definitely in! What will he do for an encore??
I'll be in Etiwanda Friday at 10:15 to meet up. <19
I will be there on Friday at 10:15 >u

FYI, the "Happy Hour" is on Friday night, the BBQ and Fireworks are on Saturday night.
Sunday night is usually Japanese food at a local Benny Hana type place which is actually very good, if anyone would like to join us!

Scott,
If we don't happen to meet up at Carl's or on the way then I'll see you at Spring mtn.
Dan,
Mikey will be coming with me so please count him in for the Fri and Sat meals.
Thanks
Scott and Ben,
We can hook up at Lenwood if you'd like to tow out together.
I'm planning to be there about 11:30, eat a quick lunch and head out.
Really not in any hurry to get there.
Plan to go to the track and drop the trailer, eat something somewhere, then head over to the Q's.
Dan <2
Dan,
Sounds good.
See you at Carl's Jr.
Ben
Dan,
I'm in for Saturday as well and my friend Budd will be with me so 2 please.
Dan and Ben - I'll see you at Carl's Jr at 11:30.
Scott
It was great seeing everyone this weekend. We all had a blast on the track with two different track configurations.
Big thanks to Mike "Q" for having all of us there. As always we had good fun catching up at the "Q" garage, with drinks and good friends. Saturday we all headed to the "pit" for fireworks and BBQ. Fantastic hour plus fire works show. Bellow are a few photos from the weekend. Go to my web link for downloads of bigger files and for the rest of the images.
I had to change my hosting service for my photos. Here is the new link to the images.
