Btw, in case anyone's got the time to stop by, I'll be driving in the TART practice session this Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium. This is my second time doing autocross, but I have so much fun with it. If you wanna ride passenger for a lap, come on by. Call me at 760-917-0219.

Join us next Saturday for another drive around the county.
This will be one of our shorter drives, but you will still get to experience the ups and downs of the county. We will be running along steep hillsides and through tree-covered canyons. The roads can be narrow; the corners can be very tight.
You will get a workout as there are few long sections for cruising, save for the beginning and the end of the drive. Something like warm-up and cool-down laps on the track. There will be one break mid-way through the drive, so you can have a breather
Departure Point
Date: Saturday, March 10, 2007
Place: Safari Coffee Roasters
Meet: 9:30 am; driver’s meeting at 10:00 am
Depart: 10:15 am (sharp)
Directions to departure point:
Safari Coffee Roasters (http://safaricoffee.com/Findus.htm)
1012 West El Norte Parkway, Escondido
Phone: 760.740.9575
They are located off the I-15 Freeway. Take El Norte Parkway, head West and turn right into the first driveway. You will see them straight ahead,
to the left of Vons.

Hope to see you there,

iono someone plan it. if we go on a cruise i'll be happy to attend and help plan. weather is getting nice too, we can get together and enjoy san diego for what it is.
btw, horse thief mile was a blast. i highly recommend it to everyone here with a rx-8. i was struggling to get good times wit my Z. it's a track where the difference in power makes a minimal effect on lap times.
