Default Anyone going to Festival of Speed this weekend?

I forgot all about it. I put the car on the lift to put my new ARB's on Saturday, but now I'm thinking about an early drive up Sat am. Hang around for a few hours, and head home early afternoon.

Decisions, decisions....

I'm literally next door tonight, on my way home finally tomorrow. Even if I could stash the rig at a certain local RLer's place I'm waaaaay too far behind to take another weekend away after all March seemingly in Phoenix, Chuckwalla, etc.

Ed, I am in for sure. Let's hook up early and press on up there. Good chance for you to see the house/Jag..

Still deciding on this. Never been before. What's to see/do there, since I won't be participating in the track events? The web site's rather vague.

If the weather's good, it might be a nice drive anyway.

If I go, of course you guys will recognize my car by the plates.

OK, let me work on this....I'll see if I can get time to do my bars during the evenings.

It's become a better spectator event. More vendors, they typically have a number of cars on display, you can roam the garages and watch the races. They had some parade laps at lunch last year, and a number of us went. I mean, it's no Rennsport Reunion from spectator standpoint, but its a fun drive up and back and worth a few hours.

There's an Autocross setup and I believe you can drive a new Porsche for a lap or two. Sadly I've got a wedding Saturday and not sure if I can make it Sunday either...

I will be there in the staging area for the parade laps, come by. The 993 is an Arena Red Cab.
On Sunday I will be with the Early 911s group in the morning.

For those driving up from San Dog, we could rally in San Juan or Dana Point...or somewhere else for a good breakfast, then blast off from there. Mollie's in San Juan is good, and perhaps RJ's in DP.

I will coordinate with the restaurant if there is more than 5 or 6 guys from down south...

Technically the shot up the 15 from SD is the direct route, but your suggestion on a breakfast near the coast isn't a bad one.

Here's my rub-my wife dutifully reminded me I've been nursing a torn ligament in my right heel for 9 weeks now. It's finally started feeling human again the last few days. Now, she has me worried about regressing.

So, I've got two options: 1. if we do a breakfast in S OC, just do that, and head home after the nice morning drive. 2. Go to FOS and give it a shot-but if I start to feel the pain again in the heel, call it a day and head home whenever.
