I went to the first one, it was a lot of fun. It's in Vallejo, CA which is right near San Fransisco. It takes about 14 hours to drive there.

It's on Friday, September 15th at Marine World.

Just keep an eye on the thread if anyone is interested in going. They will post more details later.

 

If it weren't on a friday I probably do it.. Maby as the date gets closer I will either take the day of or call in sick ha ha 'cause i have always wanted to do this show

 

dang friday shows anyhow... would be nice to make a trip to cali for something..... but dont wanna rush it either...

will see

 

I think the first year, Dave and I left on Thursday and took our time. I think we stopped in Redding the first night. Then we woke up early on Friday and drove down to Vallejo so we could wash our cars. Then we met up with a bunch of other people.

Then on Saturday, there was a BBQ so we went to that. We made it back to Wilsonville before stopping. I had to leave early to make a golf tournament by noon.

If you can take two days off (Thursday and Friday) then there will be plenty of time to take it easy. If you can't. Just leave after work on Thursday and make it as far as you can. Then wake up early the on Friday and get down there. I think the show started at like 4 or 5 or something. I don't know what they are planning for this year yet though.

 

It was fun last year... but depends on if you are in the "Show" or not...

only a few cars get to park in the park and "Show"

It's pretty much park in the parking lot, walk it once or twice and enjoy a free marine world for a while...

12 hours for a free amusement park.... hmm... not this year...

 

^^ aww man.. i wanna see what you've put on in person since last year!

 

Yeah, That'd be a shock... especially since last year...

Too many long trips already this year

 

just take the week off Tim, put your car on a truck/train.. and show it off...lol....

hmmm.. now if could get down in time using rail instead of driving???

 

Come on Tim be a trooper.. I've done a lot of driving for shows myself and doing more this year too.

Brian, I'll see about taking the thur and fri off.. Kinda early now to see, but I'll look into it 'cause I missed it last year since it was on a friday last year too

 

This is in Mo's neck of the woods (where he grew up) so we may go. He said I'd like all of the animals at Marine World.

 

I would like to make this trip, could be fun. Will have to wait and see how the funds play out over the next couple of months. Checked on a room at the Best Western that is near there and it was 99 a night for 2 queen beds and up to 4 people, maybe get a few peeps together and share the expenses.

 

I'll be heading to Marine World again this year... probably north instead of south though Hope to see at least some of you there.

Come on Tim you got a trophy last year, don't you want to see if you can take another???

 

sounds like fun. $100 for 2 queen beds. good price!

 

Ya that is a pretty good price.. Maybe if there is enought peeps interested in going, I would be game to share a room if I can get the time off work to go

 

Mo & I are going to go. One box only. I don't know where he wants to stay since he has friends/family in the neighborhood.

 

Bump.

I think I am going to go. Right now, my plans are to leave EARLY Thursday morning (maybe 5 or 6am) and drive straight there. It takes about 15 hours without stops. I am planning on getting into Vallejo around 10:00 on Thursday night. Then I will be able to relax a little on Friday morning and get the car washed.

So if anyone wants to do that with me, let me know. I'm planning for minimal stops too. Once probably in Vancouver to fill up with gas (so we don't have to stop in Oregon). Then there is a Chevron just past Oregon that we usually stop at. Fill up again there. Should be able to make it to Vallejo on that.

 

Well, I was going to do this until I got the bill from the contractor, his little cost overrun ate up our budget and I am already planning a Vegas trip with some friends from work in April and wife said I could only do one of them due to finances so I won't be making it, can't back out on Vegas trip, been planning it for a few months, heres whats happening there, http://www.vivalasvegas.net/

 

this kinda sounds like fun...actually alot of fun..we just need to talk tim into going BCS then me and him coudl just meet you on the side of the road...and jet down. im game for a 15 hour drive.

 

so its tim and i flying solo eh?

 

I'm working on getting a trailer for my truck to get the car down there (As I'm not going to drive it 10 hours with the new modifications).... I may have to leave later on thursday and drive through the night... It tells me around 10 hours from my house... so, I say 11-12 with my truck and trailer. It's still up in the air, as my job stuff I won't find out until monday, and if no job there, I still have to figure it out.

I'm planning my darndest to be there, just having to push things really close to get everything on in time and everything arranged in time to make it happen.
