I really don't know how to get to Sacramento Raceway, last time I followed some guy with a RX7, David. He might not be going this time, so is there anyone who will be passing through Oakland/Castro Valley on their way up? BTW, last time I went up, we got lost even though we had directions. [Big Grin]

when are you going? If you're coming from Sonoma, that's nowhere near me. you'll be coming from the north pretty much.
but, Excelsior shouldn't be that hard to find, really. Once you turn off jackson highway you should be able to find it!

I'll be going home that weekend, so I'll be leaving from Castro Valley, which is right off of 580. [Smile]

are u talking about on the 26th (next Sat)?
If so, you can roll with me and the others going up from sf/Oakland.
Let me know so I can give you all the info!

Yes sfGiant I'm talking about the 26th. [Big Grin] I should have clarified that. So where should I meet you and at what time?
 
Posted by sfGi8nt (Member # 1068) on :
 
well usually, me and a few other Z's will be leaving Oakland at around 12-1 pm. I am the only guy in Oakland out of the pack, the rest come from sf, so we meet at Denny's in Emeryville (right off of I-80)
Then we head up to Sac. Go to Hot Rod Cafe (in Sac) and chill out there until its time for the track.
So, if you could meet me (or us) in Oakland at around 12:30ish, then you'd be all good.
We dont drive wrecklessly up there, but we have our fun [Smile]
If your still interested in rollin with us, your more than welcome.
Just let me know where EXACTLY you'll be coming from, and we can work it from there!

Mike...

I may still go. After my Differential exploded on Wed I was a bit shell shocked I guess. I'm getting my car back tomorrow. I went a little crazy with the power, I guess.

I am 97 pct sure I'm going, I'll let you know mid week at latest.

If David is going up, I'll probably just go up with him, otherwise I'll meet you guys, then I'd be coming from Castro Valley.
