Some of us SCVC members may not be planning on going to the VOI9 on Saturday.

For all of us who are planning on caravaning to Las Vegas on Sunday the 24th of September, lets see who want to Caravan out of the LA Basin to Vegas?  We can meet in Victorville or some place on the high desert allowing people from all directions to focus in on a standard meeting place.

I am in Hema!

you got to know how to type ;D

I'm going on Sunday 8)

Eric, ck out my web site ??? www.davesvipershop.com

Dave,

Very cool website for the cars, all awesome, the 99 vette is wow!  I am working on a new exotic, will let you know within a month.  Should blow everything out of the water!

We need a Saturday get together!  Had my Race Yellow Viper out last Saturday, up the PCH, was running most excellently!  Got to the Ventura County line and Neptune's Net.  Was just an excellent day for cruising.

Ever heard of :

Truly Yours
2045 East Valley Parkway
Escondido 92027

???  Is this a good meeting place for a Saturday bring your Viper out and give it some exercise kinda day?  To far for us northwest LA County members?  Or is Hooters better ?   ;) :o :o :o

NOTICE  Dave has 189 posts,  rock on Dave!!!

Hey Eric,

First, we could meet at Richie's Diner in Temecula, great 50's type Diner.

Second, I'll ck on Truly Yours.

Third, Caravan to Vegas, with a meet in Victorville sounds good.

Forth, I'm also the KING of Pictures  8) you've haven't been keeping up DUDE ;D

You need to joint our group ::)

"You need to joint our group "

If I join your group, I will be discrminated against because of being a West LA Viper Owner and not living below the Orange County Line (brings to mind "crossing the Rubicon  -  http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/caesar.htm " type situations) !!!  However, it is tempting!  You need another race yellow viper on San Diego County roads!  That's a long way to go, with tons of traffic, but it is a good reason to get the Viper off its butt and on the road.  You guys ever been to the Barossa Valley Inn Casino for a run or an over night?  San Diego Vipers ROCK, fer sure!

I will get my camera out and post some new pics.  I had my Cannon 20D stolen last year, cops found it at a pawn shop in downtown LA, they are sending me a notice so I can go and pick it up.  So now I have two Cannon 20D cameras, with two Tamron 28-300 lenses.

Hey Eric,

I'm in for the caravan on Sunday, I was thinking about leaving on Saturday, but have since changed my mind.  A buddy of mine with a FE GTS might be joining us too!

I was thinking about leaving on Monday, but perhaps I will leave a day earlier to join you.  I will let you know.  Thanks.

We are leaving on Monday morning and I understand some others may be as well.  Maybe we can set up a lineup for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.       Ron

Dear SoCal VCA members,

For those of you who will be in Las Vegas by midday on Sunday September 24 please keep our Nevada Region Barbecue (www.viperbbq.com) in Pahrump in mind. Pahrump is a sjprt drive from Las Vegas and we will have caravans to lead the way for you. We have invited members of all regions to this event and expect it to be an awesome kickoff for your VOI.9 experience.

Thanks,
Nevada Region VCA Officers

I checked the website looks like a great event.  I didn't see the place(s) where the caravan(s) will be departing from, would you mind posting the place(s) for the out-of-towners.  I'm thinking one of them should be the Venetian, since that's where the bulk of the people will  be.

This has been a great event both years we've held it. For those with questions or reservations about it, I urge you to contact our region president, Marko Radosavljevic and ask him about as he was skeptical before the first event there and has since made a 180. You can shoot him an email at [email protected].

The caravans have not yet been set in stone, but we are planning one from the Venetian, another from the intersection of Blue Diamond Rd and Charleston Blvd (there's a gas station there where we traditionally meet) and another from the Silverton (I-15 & Blue Diamond Rd). We will be announcing the caravan points and times in the next few weeks - the times and locations will be clearly posted on the website, mailed to the region presidents and I will make sure they are posted here. We are still in the midst of setting these kind of details up with our members (we need some volunteers from our region) and should have everything nailed down after our next region meeting.

Here is a post I have had with Jerry De Young, President of the Mid Cal Viper Club.  They are caravaning with the Nor Cal Vipers and meeting for lunch in Bakersfield on the 24th of September.  I was trying to get a meeting place that all the California Vipers could meet at and then caravan into Vegas as a group?

"Jerry,

We are meeting about 10-15 vipers on Sunday the 24th in Hesperia, which is at the top of the top of the Cajon Pass at about 10:30 just west of Victorville.  It would be great to meet up with you but Bakersfield is a little north for us.  You will be coming east probably on Old Highway 58 to Barstow to eventually get on the 15.  It is about 130 miles from Bakersfield to Barstow.  I suspect it will probably be difficult to meet in Barstow as by the time you have lunch and transit the 58 it will be later than when we will pass through.  However, it would be awesome to meet up with you guys and caravan into Vegas with the Nor Cal, Mid Cal and So Cal Viper groups!   Would be photo and story material for the Viper Magazine. Let me see what the other guys think about trying to meet.  Any way you would consider maybe leaving a little earlier and meeting in Barstow for a later lunch with the So Cal Vipers?  This would obviously mean the Nor Cal guys are moving even earlier but this unique opportunity to have a group of united California Vipers caravaning into Vegas and the Viper Nation would be very cool!

Here is our website.

There is also a post on our SoCalViper forum from the Nevada VCA Regional Officers indicating there is a region wide Nevada BBQ in Pahrump, ouside of Vegas at midday on the 24th of September.

"Dear SoCal VCA members,

For those of you who will be in Las Vegas by midday on Sunday September 24 please keep our Nevada Region Barbecue (www.viperbbq.com) in Pahrump in mind. Pahrump is a short drive from Las Vegas and we will have caravans to lead the way for you.

So, Jerry there are a lot of connection options on this day from everyone getting to Vegas any way they can to meeting up with the California Viper contingent at some central point as one moves east on the 15 to meeting a ton of vipers in Pahrump.  With the amount of travel distance and urge to get to Vegas on everyone's mind, the Pahrump experience may be a little too much.  But it would be a great time to get all the California Vipers together going into Vegas, n'est pas?

Eric

Anyone interested in meeting at 6:00 AM at the In-and-Out Burger place in Hesperia west of Victorville and getting to Vegas before noon?

EJ

Guess no one is interested in an early morning drive to Vegas on Sunday the 24th???

EJ

Yes, I would be willing to leave early on Sunday to VOI9 and join the group at Pahrump.  I will be leaving from the Anaheim area of Orange County, taking the 91 east to 15 north.  I see from the notes below that a few people might meet in Hesperia, so I will join everybody there, unless we get a caravan that wants to meet near the 10 and 15 freeways.

Eric, ck out my web site ??? www.davesvipershop.com

Dave,

Here is your quote about coming in to Vegas on the 24th and I guess now you are going on hte 23rd??  That means you will be that much poorer come Sunday morning, where if you came with us on Suday, your pockets would be full of cash!  Think about that !

As far as I can tell, there are 3 threads for this Sunday caravan, 2 on the "Club Events" forum and one on this, the "Regional Events" forum.  I suggest we combine them to one thread.  Any ideas on which one and how we can do that?  Nevertheless, here is the post I made to the other 2 threads, just to make sure I cover all my bases.  Sorry for the duplication, but that is better than not communicating at all.

I am coming from Orange County for the Sunday caravan.  I plan to stop at Ontario Mills to gather with the Vipers there, then drive up to the Hesperia In-and-Out meeting place. 

So, to review, since there are multiple threads going (and I might just cut/paste this to the other thread):

Sunday, Sep 24: meet at Ontario Mills at 9am. 
Leave Ontario Mills at 9:30 to caravan to Hesperia
Meet at 10:30 at the In-and-Out
Leave for Vegas from there.

Questions:
Where exactly will we meet in Ontario Mills?
We should be able to make it from Ontario Mills to Hesperia in one hour, right?
Is anybody giving any serious thought to going to the Pahrump bbq?

I think the plan you have worked out is correct.  Ontario Mills Mall at 9 AM, and IN-N-OUT at 10:30.  I have no interest in going to Pahrump.  If you want to take a left at the turn off.  Not my idea of a Sunday afternoon.  But everyone can make their own choices on the way to Vegas.

Eric, do you want to assemble the list of caravanees and cell phone numbers?

I will go straight to Hisperia for the 10:30.

Depending on how many may go, I will probably go to the bbq
