FFR huntington Beach SF bay area trip April 25th

[freddiehebert]

Meeting place for sf bay area & santa clara group

So the past 3 years we have met at The Flames Restaurant 7170 Santa Teresa Blvd, San Jose, CA .
Senerio #1
I have been talking with SJdave and we are thinking of leaving Thursday late afternoon. Last year we left and stayed over night in San Luis Obispo. Dave is thinking to drive as far as Carpinteria and stay the night. This is a 280mile trek from S. San Jose. and 4 1/2 hrs by google maps plus will need 1 gas stop along the way. Spend the night there then leave hwy 101 south and take Topanga Canyon to hwy 1 south to the 405

With this plan I'm suggesting leaving S. San Jose 4pm or as close to it as possible.

Senerio #2
Leave S. San Jose 4-5 drive to Santa maria spend the night. Leave take Hwy 166 east to hwy 33 south drops us out north of Ventura then south 101 to 405.

Please chime in if you are planning on going and if you can leave with us or if you are gonna go down on friday. It is great to have a gang of cars. But then again 4-6 cars can go a lot quiker then a gang.

This is just a suggestion if anyone has any more ideas. Please chime in

Are you guys coming down for the whole weekend? There is a pre-party Friday night and a Cruise on Sunday this year...

[freddiehebert]

We are coming down for the weekend, we are gonna have our own lil party friday night at the beach house. As far as sunday the drive I think is going south from Huntington Beach and we are headed north so that is not gonna work.

I tried to get a mini mini FFR nationals. Such as what eric hosted at the go kart in riverside with the timetrials.

Hi. Are you letting people park trailers again?

Thanks

[freddiehebert]

FAST289 you would need to get ahold of dave hodgkins on that. But I believe he is but verify with him.

[Fast289]

Yeah, I thought that was David I was asking.

Thanks.

I missed last year, I blew a head gasket a couple days before the event. I am looking forward to this year.

Yes, David Hodgkins is workng with the neighbors and city to arrange trailer parking. I reached out to him a couple weeks ago and will be showing up at his place early Saturday morning after the all night drive from the bay area. I have a commitment Friday night that I can't get out of but I'm not letting it stop me! I will be debuting my Factory Five Coyote powered MKIV after a 3 year build...
