I'll be there on Saturday. Driving in with a group in the AM and probably leave around 5 or 6 PM.

Decent sized group meeting at the intersection of 411 and 129 gas station at 8AM if anyone else wants to meet . Not sure the exact number but going that early usually keeps the traffic down.

So, for a quick checklist for the latecomer (me) before I depart tomorrow:

Sleeping bag
Clothes
15x9 spare wheel/tire
Spare plug wires
Spare upper ball joint
Spare ignition coil
Oh **** spare of brake pads
Extra coolant
Extra Oil
A misfit of incorrect tools
Ear plugs + Tylenol for the exhaust drone
Trash bag poncho
Lagavulin 16/Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or

Seem about right? Any other ideas?

Welp, looks like I got the go ahead to head up on Saturday and make a day trip out of it. It'll be a lot of driving, but didn't want to miss out on all of the fun after attending it last year too. See some of you guys this weekend.

Psyber, looks good if you are seriously concerned about having to make roadside repairs on the way down. Other than that, make sure you bring photo/video equip and inverters to charge stuff.

I am terrified of not being able to get my car up and running in the middle of nowhere. I have no backup plan.

The biggest feat will just be making to Fontana. Once you're there, they'll be more miatas/miata owners than you'll ever want to see. Most of which are willing to help out. Also, I never do a run alone and neither should you, let that be your backup plan.

I am out. I got to goto ATL to deliver some turbo parts, along with not actually having my car on the road yet. Stupid ABS and trying to bleed those brakes.

So long as you don't blow your motor I've got all the stuff needed for roadside repairs.

Good luck finding it in Fontana considering it's in Clearwater with a gas flooded hydrolocked engine.

I don't think it was one of your setups. I was asked if I had an extra SR T25 sitting around to bring up, so I assumed whoever blew their turbo up was on an SR T25.

Well ****, do I need to go find my spare SR20 t25, I don't really want to side track that way this weekend, but if there is cash monies involved I may say **** it and do it.
