you should consider caravaning with the boys coming down from glendale. It's alot of fun being ushered by 4 or 5 500-600 hp E55's on the freeway. It's quite a scene when they had me in attack formation on the 5 frwy at an earlier meeting we had. If anything, they'll flush out the cops. j/k fellas.

Hopefully, since I'll be there working in the AM, but don't count on me for the caravan. Somebody else will have to lead it...

Depends on where in Riverside they're coming from, if you're taking the 91W then you'd go 71N to 60W to 57S and exit D.B.blvd just to meet us, wouldn't be practical...you're better off just taking 91W, 55S, 5S and meet us at the meet in Irvine....BUT if you're taking the 10 or 60 freeway, then it'd make sense to meet us since you'd be on the way...

Well, someone (not me) volunteer or suggest a meeting spot and I'll see if I can make it. I've noticed however, that the fastest way to get to the meet is via the toll roads which may or may not be an option for some. I have a FastTrack....so not a problem for me personally.

I felt like one of those hijacked commercial planes you see in the movies surrounded by fighter jets being escorted to safety. Never mind!! I gotta get me one of those 500, or in your case 600+hp fighter jets.

Well, I live in between Corona and the UCR area, so I can go either on the 91/71 way or I can go 215/60 or 10...

Exclamation

Since nobody from the Inland Empire seems to want to take charge. (And I'm a take charge kind of guy.) May I suggest, we all meet at:

Best Buy
2430 Tuscany Road
Corona, CA


Cajalco Road Exit off of the 15 freeway, just south of the 91, on the east side of the 15. In the Corona Crossing Shopping Center

A good meeting time would be 10-10:15 AM, wait around for 15 min. for others to show up, then leave for Irvine at 10:30 AM with an ETA of 11 AM.

The Caravan can take:

1) Short way via the toll roads. 15 North to 91 West to 241 South to 133 South to 5 North exit Sand Canyon. (http://www.thetollroads.com/tca/tripCal.do?cmd=goto241) Only prob here is you gotta stop and pay a toll. (I have a Fas Track Pass so I won't be stopping unless I'm caravaning--then I have no idea how that'll work, but I'll figure that one out when I get there....)

2) Or the long way via 91 West to 5 South and exit on Sand Canyon

I'll make every effort to show up to Caravan, but since I'm working that morning, things can be unpredictable. Either way I think it's a good starting point for a Caravan. With plenty of parking.
