What time will this get going down in Mission Bay tomorrow? Planning on coming by for a short while to meet the locals (and not-so-locals!) who've helped get this Lemon through three races and ready for its fourth.
I'll also be doing some parts trading
Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of time since our car isn't currently running and we have to leave for Sonoma on Thursday, so want to know the best hour to come hang out!
My plan of towing our lemon/art car to the park for all to look/laugh at is out

I think it really gets moving about 10am or when all the Chez Charles party casualties manage to get vertical and have their first Bloody Mary.GoProTim wrote:What time will this get going down in Mission Bay tomorrow?

We're only at Mission Bay for about 2-3 hours before we head to Darin's.

Sorry guys, looks like I have to throw the towel in. The Universe has decided on other plans for me this weekend. 
The culmination of multiple things brought on this decision, the very least of which being my #!&@*# new tires aren't here yet. 
I don't want to get into it 'cause, frankly, it's pissing me off. 
For whatever reason the stars are not aligning for me this year.
You're all gonna to have a great time, I'm soooo bummed I'm not going to be there. I was so looking forward to it. Perfect weather too. Everyone drink at least one for me in my absence, both nights (you too Adam, whatever your drinking
). Chas, thanks a million for the crash spot, I guess it can be used in an emergency now. 
Thanks to both Darin and Charles for hosting again this year and opening their homes to all you scofflaw car types. 
I'm sad I'll be missing out on all the laughs, fine automobiles and good times. I will definitely be there next year, and you can bank on that as seems I am back on my 'every other year' schedule. (I was really hoping to break that one 
) Mike, am I still allowed to get shirts if I'm not present? 
Have a blast y'all

I know! It was a tough call!!Karl Grau wrote:Really? You're putting family first?jay wrote:I'm officially out felllas. I'll be in West Lake Village for my boys track meet!
Seriously, no worries man. How about August in Morro Bay, same Bat Time, same Bat Place?
Yes, same time and place but this time I'll be following you to Monterey after. I've been craving that clam chowder. Haven't had any as good since I've been here.
Have fun. Can we have live action pics all weekend please?
I cannot make my report until I return.
HOW I return is a different story...
I will say that I drove Logan's M5 today to blow off some steam after a similar situation as RTT 12s parking lot wrenchfest...
ANYWAY, the car was SO much fun to drive. S38+3.73+7000 RPM = hoon city. He gave me some suspension advice, was open about the car and it's underpinnings, and as i said, practically dared me to find the rev limit...

^^^ Rev limit = The sound an S38 makes in the upper rev range is just so intoxicating. It will be a miracle if I never get a ticket as long as I have one under the hood.
I woke up this morning with a lump in my chest. I pounded on it a couple of times and all is good now. I must have had a piece of crack bacon stuck in my left aorta, but it has passed...
I'll post more later, hitting the road home momentarily, gots to get back to my responsibilities at home.
Chas, I'm sorry, but you really shouldn't pass out with your head back and mouth open, I couldn't help myself....

Made it, home. Not a very long distance to travel; but harder than you think.
Had a great time with all the girls, great to see all of you or what I remember of you... Every time I engaged with my Farrah mug the day became more and more distorted. If anyone finds a kidney or liver its mine. If anyone finds a bill for the exotic dancers its Vince's.
Thank you to everyone for making it a ton of fun and a big thanks to Bridgette the Midget for making Chuck's house more exciting. This truly is a great bunch of people.
Sorry I didn't take any pics, my already poor camera skills greatly diminish after 5pm. There were some great cars that I had never had the chance to see before including JBort's sleeper and Adam's new acquisition. I also met 3 new people named Mike who all had very nice e28's one even had a blender attachment, way to go Mikes!!!
Most respectfully,
Mike
