Yes. If we want to be at the Irvine spectrum by 12-12:15, we should leave Glendale maybe 10:30-10:45 to give us some time INCASE of traffic or any other reason. What do you think?
I think 3 bottles of NOS should do it!

Question, So who is running the OC Caravan?

Dan **** or what? Since apparently he said he would. I PM'd him and still haven't got anything back and I'm wondering about this...especially with this meet being next week and things need to be organized. Any information would be appreciated.

Exclamation Caravans !

Chris,
Dan_Wang is organizing the O.C. caravan starting at the Irvine Spectrum going to Encinitas.
Meeting at 12 NOON. Departing at 12:45.
He's probably busy or something. Give him a chance to post.

For now, there are caravans coming down from:
- GLENDALE (leaving CALSTAR at 10:45) and meeting at the Irvine Spectrum at 12 NOON.
- DIAMOND BAR / CHINO HILLS (leaving Rite-Aid Center at 11:45) and meeting at the Irvine Spectrum at 12:30.

Here's the picture map of IRVINE SPECTRUM that AMG_Eric posted:
If you guys meet there, that's fine,
but make a quick run or runs through the Robinson's May parking lot, to make sure you're not leaving anyone behind !!!

Chris, I thought you were heading a caravan from Huntington Beach / Newport to IRVINE SPECTRUM ?? If not, no big deal, as long as everyone gets to the IRVINE SPECTRUM by 12 NOON.

note: beware of bumps in the plaza. I'll be in front of the closed down Warehouse Music store.

please try to be on time. We'll leave between 12:00-12:10pm to drive down to Irvine Spectrum to meet up with the Irvine caravan.
Frank, I might suggest meeting at 11:30 am
and leaving at 11:45 unless you're all going to do some serious SPEED RACING !!

whatever you bring, just show up...

that's why I hate those L.A. meets, where 200 people sign up and only 30 people show up.

No big deal Carlos, I was just curious.

Well, Lisa is out of the question since I believe she is leaving early to head down there for the meet so if anything she could of been apart of the HB/NB Caravan. The only people I know from the NB area is RedMongoose but then again...all of us people are so close to the freeway and Irvine Spectrum yet alone that I believe we don't need to meet up before and then head over to Irvine. It would be pretty pointless.

Sorry ChrisD, things have been really really busy for me.

Yes, we will meet at the map where AMG_Eric posted....

We are planned to meet there at 12pm, and head out to SD no later than 12:45pm. This will allow people to get gas, food, wait for the other caravans to join us.

It should take about 70 min to get there at most.

the SPECTRUM itself is off the 405 / 5 merge.

You can't miss that big-*** Ferris Wheel !

yeah, I was just saying to use the Ferris Wheel as a reference point on how to get there, since you can pretty much see it from the 405 and the 5.

Once you're there, go to the northside, and look for Dan's black SMART !

Go to the BIG RED X on the map !

Once you get off the freeway to Spectrum make a left and you'll go into Irvine Spectrum and you can't miss the Mercedes parked in the marking lot. lol

Mark, you got another exhaust system!? what kind this time?

I'm glad the OC people are meeting at the Spectrum, makes it much easier.

Just use the map as a basis. There will be a very large group of us there. During noon at the spectrum it shouldnt be that bad to find us.
