Sevenstock 11 *NorCal* Caravan
7stock is schdeuled for September 27, 2008.
We will meet up in Hayward, CA for a late night Caravan at 6:00p, here are the details: Meet up location: Starbucks on: 245 W Jackson St, Hayward, CA Leave at 6:30-7:00p We will take Jackson Street (92) north for a quick fillup and contiune to Foothill Blvd (238) to the 580E. From there we will take the 580E to the 5-S to Socal. The drive should take about 5-6 hours with about 2-3 stops in between. Once we get to SoCal, around Midnight (Hopefully) we will go our separate ways to get some well earned rest and meet up with the SoCal caravan at 5:00a on 9/27/08 Details for Socal Caravan: https://www.rx8club.com/west-rx-8-forum-34/sevenstock-11-socal-caravan-143489/ If you guys have walkie talkies we'll set the channel to 12. For you guys in Tracy/Dublin/Etc, instead of you guys back tracking, you can meet us on the freeway when we get on the road and we can caravan all together. The traffic in that area isn't the greatest to make an extra stop. Sign Up here: 1. 8rotor8 - 05 TiG Rx-8 2. 3. 4. 5. ... |
have you done the 880s to 101s to the 152e (through gilroy and los banos) to the 5s .. that is a very nice drive and its not that much difference in time.. but it would use more gas.. (more hills and turns)
1. 8rotor8 - 05 TiG Rx-8 2. benjamz - 04 6spd WB RX8 www.rotaryextreme.com <--- should be up by August 2008 3. 4. 5. |
Yea I've done it, BIG difference in time when you are going Friday night :)
|
i would but flying is so much faster
|
^true.. but i think flying is less tireing.. but you maybe save 2 hours at most.
2 hours from house through security to plane 1 hour flight 1.5 hours getting off plane, getting lugage, waiting for ride to hotel or getting taxi and going to hotel timeless... every minute of the car show ***wishing you had your car at sevenstock*** lol.. anyways.. anyone else gonna sign up???? |
looks like this will be good if we can meet up with the tracy-sacramento group on the way there

Like I said up there, they can meet us on the road when we do a drive by. But I don't know what time they are thinking of leaving.
|

|
Thanks

All the rotary powered vehicles and a few piston head conversions (that their owners-can't read or understand that pistons park elsewhere) all drive in from the staging area... hundreds of rotary powered vehicles all driving in line and in formation and back into parking spots (if you can't back up, practice until you are good or don't get into the staging lines). Quite a sight! Line up info for Saturday Morning. http://www.rx7club.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1222114174 . Seven stock parking for non rotary vehicles and people that want to leave before 2PM: http://www.rx7club.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1222114906 Once the line up and drive in is done, the layout looks like this: http://www.rx7club.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1222114906 |
Too bad it's not a holiday that Friday or I would love to leave early. I use 12 becuse the first rotary was the 12a... JK, I had better luck with people not using that channel. I hope more people sign up, if not I'll hand the torch over to someone else and I'll just fly.

If it was just myself, I would just make the kettleman city stop, as I can make it without re-fueling other places, but many of the people with heavily modified cars can not. |

can I still go even if my car looks ugly???? or should I go???
I'll be driving her around like this until I save up enough for a paint job or somebody buy all my parts........~_~ |
Hey Hey Maybe I'll crash your Caravan instead of heading straight to the S.CA one.
I'm in Central Ca. |
rx8spiritr, i think everyone should go, even if their car is cosmetically not perfect... as long as it runs, bring her along and track the gas milage... im sure you will have a better ride because you wont care about bugs and dirt... everyone else will be paranoid as shit.

and rx8spirtr if I had the money to buy that body kit I'd jump on it so fast...esp since I'm very local :( I might be down if I can get off of work. |
