Looks like August 10-12 Fontana Village at the tail of the dragon. I want to make this BIG Oppo. I’m gonna see who in the automotive press community wants to join us. But most of all YOU SHOULD COME! Are you super cheap? There will be camp sites available. Are you super afraid of other people? There will be cabins available. Do you like people to make your bed? There’s hotel rooms. We will have a award ceremony and a giant photo shoot of the community’s cars w owners! There’s a lot more I want to do and clear, with the village. For now I’m working on prices, and discounts for us!

Where in CA are you? I tried getting a So-Cal meet off the ground a while back.

SLO, but I would do a So-Cal meet if scheduling worked out, that or I am moving back to Long Beach in a month or two.

I expect to be there. Closer to me than last time, and I’m range-tested.

Hmm, it’s a 12 hour drive, but I bet the Autozam would be awesome on the tail of the dragon! It’s on my bucket list to drive it. Put me on the list!

Yeah, I remember you saying early August, this was the only weekend Fontana had open for late July early August

Tell the wife it’s a “work study” program. And show the kids what will happen if they fall in love with cars

That’s probably too close to the start of school for me to pull off, but I’ll try. I won’t know next years schedule for another six months or so.

Sorry, I’m on Model Years today. And some fools have released MY2018 stuff already.

Hmmmm, I live about two and half hours away and I’ve always wanted to go to the ToTD, but I have never had the chance to make it out. Sure, I can probably show up.

I thought GM was going to have to build me a time machine instead of a track Camaro.

09/13/2017 at 17:36, STARS: 2

This is so far in advance that I really have no reason why I could not be there, especially since it is close by.

The thing that I think of is that it is the weekend after Miatas at the Gap, and my friend who always goes to that will be sad if I don’t go with him but am there the next weekend. On the other hand, Oppos might get to see some spectacular skid marks off the side of the road, since there seems to be at least one or two such wrecks every year at MatG.

The other thing is that I don’t know the 2018 autocross schedule yet, which could be a factor.

Put me down as highly possible. Thanks for working on this!

It’s fine, it takes a embiggened man to admit when he’s wrong

No problem, dealing with Fontana is much easier the I expected !

Because if I had any they would certainly love the adventure that would be a narrow, body on frame SUV on a twisty road. 15 mph all the way so it doesn’t go shiny side down.

I’m working on making some extra monies to afford an SS. Assuming all goes to plan, count me in for this epic adventure!

Most people would agree with that statement

Just a random idea, but I think we need an Oppo Calendar ® where we list all the scheduled oppo meets across the world in one post or add one paragraph to all our Oppo meet posts.

but is it worth a 14 hour, 1400km drive with the terrible exchange rate?

Yes

I’ll be in California so it would suck to go fly in without my Miata. I had so much fun last time I went and would love to enjoy the new upgrades there. Definitely recommend some midnight runs on the dragon, that was my favorite part!

I should be able to easily make that. What’s the head count for the meet on the 30th?

Kinja'd!!! "Ike" (untitledcarshow)
09/15/2017 at 14:47, STARS: 0

That’s a good question I’ll figure that out!

Count me in. I may rent a motorcycle from here too and ride it on the Dragon!

Cool, thanks. I’m coming from about 3.5-4 hours away. I plan on coming regardless of turnout, unless it’s so low that it gets cancelled.
