Are we going to get a group together so we can get car corral passes for this event?
Great question someone should work on that
Randy Begin has the corral passes. We will pass them out at our soon to be announced Breakfast meeting spot. If you can't make Breakfast we will mail them to you. More to come very soon. Thanks for your patience. Anyone interested coming out to Coronado please post up or send me an e-mail.

Could be interested but need more information. Like which day and other activities that are planned otherwise its a long drive 175 mile door to door it needs to be worth the drive.
Kiki and I will be interested in going. We always enjoy these races.
Paul & Teresa will be there.
Please mail passes.
I'm in! 8)

O.K. Sorry for some confusion and lack of info. Just revised our post. Let's all come out and support our Military. Consider purchasing a ticket as a donation to help our Sailors even if you don't attend. :D :-*
