i agree with you. we should meet up before.

the only thing though is it depends on where youre coming from haha for example me coming from millbrae i dont have to pay toll going to treasure island or going home but the other side would. so maybe organize 2 separate meets? 1 for people traveling thru SF and 1 for people coming thru oakland?

just an idea...feel free to propose others

Forgot to post this yesterday, but I was up at Sears point raceway to witness the world record of most cars doing donuts at one time. I think the count was up to 71 cars. A mix of cars in the group, 3 8's and 2 7's from what I was able to see.

For me it was last minute thing. I knew about it because I have sonoma or infineon raceway on Facebook and a buddy asked yesterday. I heard there was only one small collision and a few popped tires.
