Matt:

You missed the chance to have a coke with the winner of the race, Matt Maldin. Sorry I missed you, took 1.5 hours to get to Fontana, 2.5 hours to get home, a little wind.

Matt/Byron/Jean-Louis ... thank you for organizing such a well planned and well executed event that all enjoyed. It was great to see such a cross section of cars - F and Non-F.

If we have pics of the event to post, should we post them on a different thread?

Ferrari goes on top for a few reasons.

1) if the lift fails, we will have to bury the P not the F
2) I have kids, this way I dont get any little fingerprints.
3) So that my wife doesnt get too tempted.
4) It just looks so cool on top, and every time I lower the lift I feel like a kid unwrapping the present that I always wanted. :-)

I have not gotten any phone calls or e-mails since 7:00 pm last night so I THINK it is safe to say we are done adding cars.

All in all

70ish Ferrari's

20ish in other makes



The Ventura and OC meeting locations will be leaving exactly on time.

If you are running late, it would be best to meet at the LA location.


Please arrive as close to 9:45 as possible. We are going to leave on time @ 10:15. There will be a driver premeeting @ 10:05 for maps and other information.




Check you oil, fuel and tires.

Due to the nature of the size, I am confident that we can absorb the amount of cars. The stop lights in BH and along sunset will break the cars into smaller groups.

Also there is a suprise along the route for you mountian drivers.

For those of you that will be meeting me at the Orange County rally location, please be sure to arrive early. We will be leaving promptly at the scheduled time. If you need to reach me prior to the meeting date/time, please feel free to contact me via email at [email protected] or by cell phone (as listed in the newsletter).

Also feel free to drop me an email (and which car to look out for) to confirm so that I know to expect you in OC that morning. (not necessary, but would be helpful)

If you happen to miss any of the rally points (OC or Ventura), you can just meet us all at the start point.

Thanks,
Byron

We are expecting upwards of 60 cars on the drive.

As always, all car makes and models are welcome to come along.

We welcome and encourage kids and the entire family to come along as well but I need to hear from everyone even if I know you are coming.
