Why the heck would you want to leave JIB at 5:30? And who all is in that Caravan? It's only ~1 hr to CI?

Should be about 20-30 of us in the 6-6:30 group.

P.S. I have been (way too) early to CI before, there is no point you just have to wait until they are ready to let you in.

Brian Keegan - this obviously doesn't apply to you as you have "errands" to run before the show.

Faisal,

That Jack In The Box is the same one as the 5:30 caravan is leaving from, it is on Camden Ave. It is nowhere near Bentley of Los Gatos, it is near their service facility in Campbell. I just noted you mentioend "SERVICE FACILITY" in your post, please note the service facility is 5+ miles away from the showroom that most people are familiar with.

I am planning on meeting up with Ben and Lox and a few other friends at the Jack in the Box behind Bentley of Silicon Valley (formerly Ferrari of Los Gatos).

Here's Ben's email on the subject:

The basic plan is to gather at the Jack In the Box roughly behind Bentley of Silicon Valley (formerly Ferrari of Los Gatos) SERVICE DEPARTMENT - There is a Midas Muffler Shop (click for map) next door. We'll meet there just after 6am Fri with a departure by 6:30 latest, figure 1h - 1h 15 mins to Black Horse over 17 to 1.

Any questions, reply soon.
See you there (or on the lawn).

-Ben

Tony,
Non display F-cars can park either in the non-exhibitor corral along with the other non-italian marques (although the price is the same as the exhibitors I think) or in general parking. Corral parking is generally pretty safe. Most people know not to touch. General parking is a little iffier I think. In the past I've seen F-cars and other exotics parked in general parking. Your call.

Yes Michael. There appear to be two caravans. The 5.30 caravan leaves JIB at 1301 Camden Ave, Campbell 95008. I'll be in the 5.30 run.

Faisal, What is the address of your JIB?

quick side question... if you want to drive your F car but not exhibit, is the parking 'safe', i.e. no clowns putting their prints on the car?
Or is it a case of if you don't exhibit don't bring the nice car?
thx, tony

Isn't it the Jack In the Box in Campbell? I am not so sure there is a JIB in Los Gatos.

In regards to timing, the caravan I am in is meeting at 5:30 (yikes). Faisal's is at 6:30. Are there two leaving from the same place at different times?

It sounds like there will be a bunch of people leaving anywhere from 0530 through 0630. I need to drop off some tools for a tool kit at the Monterey Airport by 0700 so I will leave fairly early in that window, but will meet y'all at the Concorso.
Faisal, did you get my address?
