Unless there is some unforeseen obstacle this is probably going to be it. I'll be reserving our area this week when I check out the sites in person.

I'm planning on hosting steaks, and if anyone would like to bring fixings and such we could start a list.

I'll bring Jim's Famous Beans. If we have actual campsites reserved, what is the possibility for those that actually want to camp overnight to do so.

Those are great beans! You brought them to the CPF trip to Big Basin and I'm sure they'll be a hit at Grant Ranch. I put that on the list in post #1.

I don't see a problem for those that want to spend the night in one of the campsites. It also makes sense for those traveling a long ways or for those that drank over the legal limit. I'll start a list for those that want to spend the night.

EDIT: If anyone coming has some special light or a real barn burner, please post it and I'll add it to the list in post #1.

For lights, a few of what I'll bring are Costco HID, Chris Mac 1D 10w HID, Fivemega/Chris Mac fat 1D 10w HID, variety of camping lights and lanterns including bright full spectrum LED reading light.

I think I'll bring the CostcoHID and MagHID also. Too bad I will not be having the SureFire Beast II in time for this "flashapalooza!"

You're actually going to get it!! I didn't realize that. WOW! Super BTFO!

As usual, I maybe late. Maybe I can bring dessert. Will we see DRACO or Le Beau that night? If the roads are twisty I might take longer, as I'm addicted to quick but measured driving and lights!!! Anyone coming from Alameda/ Oakland/Berkeley and want to get a ride (Dramamine offered)? PM me.

LOL, ya Duane, that Lotus of yours is pretty tossable! I'd want a ride if I was coming from up there

Let's trade. I play with your lights and you play with the Elise. Seriously, I can pick you up on the way down to the autocrosses at Marina Airfield, old Ft Ord. I go once a month and I can take a guest driver also. You can bring the Porsche. Others run their station wagons- Sub WRX, Volvo Turbos, MB turbos, etc. It's fun , safe, cheap and you can only kill traffic cones! Let me know. Anyone else with a fun car (I was beaten by experienced drivers of CRXs, Miatas, Sentras on my first time out) is welcomed also!

Flashlights, an Elise, camping, food...how can I resist. A newbie of sorts here who might be coming to your flashapalooza. I would likely camp over as I have a race to run in Woodminster Park in Oakland the next morning and could go directly there. Will have to let you all know but hope you can leave a spot for me- I won't leave it until the end to let you know. Duane, would love to talk to you about your Elise; I am building a Caterham Superlight w/SVT Zetec.

Ok I've updated post #1 with attendance and light information. If anyone notices an error please let me know.

I've also added more categories for lights. If you tell me what all you're bringing I'll add it to the appropriate list. If you include a URL link I'll post it too.

 

[dduane]

Steven, Good luck on the Woodminister race. It's fun, challenging and the uphill start is an eye opener. We seem to have much in common. My brother has my old 69 Elan, I run ultras, lights, Caterham WOW!! whatelse?... PM sent , Duane
