I just received this e-mail. YAY!!!!!

The few who made it last year can share how much fun it was. I believe this year is a tribute to early American Indy cars. And I'm sure Toyota will have a few suprises in store. (F1 again?)



Dear Car Clubs,

niiiice..

time to get ready for another wonderful race-filled weekend!!

woo!!!

:D

 

Are you going to work this time?

 

Yup I got the same email, and as per last year John and I have been playing email tag about this event. We're hoping to make it a bigger and better turnout than last year! Woohoo can't wait!!!

 

last year was DOPE!! i just received the email too :D

 

I can't wait!

 

ohhh helllllz yes i'm working there again!

i had a major blast! i think watching that F1.... it still rings in my ears.... the sound of 19K rpm?! ....

sooooo worth it.

 

MOTEL RESERVATIONS NOW!!!!

I'm not kidding. They're probably already booked up.

Another cool thing to do would be to roll in as a group to the Concours @ Pebble Beach on Sunday. But it's soooo expensive.

I'm submitting my vacation request today for the week.

Lets see, Yosemite Monday, Tuesday. Santa Cruz Wednesday, Thursday. Monterey Friday-Sunday.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$

 

thank goodness tax return is here. i'm gonna go ahead and book my hotel room probably on thursday

 

uhmm... need a roomie again eujin?

i call bathtub.

 

just reserved the room. Trung imma take a queen size air mattress for ya. So you can stay with us again, Trung.

 

Eujin,

Where did you reserve your room? Wondering what areas I should start looking in.

 

hmmm... now that i think about it...

how much was it to camp on-site?? i think that'd be... a little fun.

 

oh man i'm sooooooo going my dad and i had a blast last year. we might stay the night this time and hang around for sunday.

 

I'd like to go but I'll need a place to crash. Also, I refuse to pay $5 for a tiny little bottled water.

 

^ bring your own water if you do not want to pay that much... i was at just about every race last year and that race was not nearly as hot as moto gp weekend... people were falling over because of the heat durring gp. your own water or even a 5 dollar bottle is cheaper then a ride to hospital

 

We had free water from Toyota.

And since we were parked soooo close to the track, you could bring an ice chest with lunch.

 

yea man.... Toyota went ALLLLL out!!

they provided FREE water for EVERYONE!! and ICE cold!!! all available around the track at different kiosks... for all attendees! not just us and the clubs.. i mean.. public!



you can say some of the venders were a little ____ed when they couldn't sell their $4-5 water bottles...

they had free earplugs and bags and lanyards too..... wow...

 

hell yea Toyota hooked it up!

older peeps would definitely need those ear plugs..cuz once you walk across the Yokohama overpass to the paddock side, forget about it! its insanely loud!!

 

This "older peep" loves the noise of vintage racecars. It's music to my ears.

The sound of the Toyota F1 was awesome.

One year they had a Mazda GT car there and they fired it up. 3 rotor rotary engine with straight pipes. It hurt soo much! But when they shut it off, the crowd that gathered burst into applause.

Now I sure could of used a set when Mars Volta played at the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert I went to!
