Current numbers already claimed. If you want a specific number it is first come first serve. If you are in the central valley there is a meet up point you can meet the group at so you don't have to trek all the way to Hollister. There will be a Sacramento caravan down that leaves way to early for those don't want an extra over night stay. http://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/525.pnghttp://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/007.pnghttp://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/777.pnghttp://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/13.pnghttp://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/333.png |

What time is the Sacramento Caravan leaving? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Most recent claimed numbers. Q&A from post on other forms and emails. 1. Yes - there is a caravan from Sacramento to Hollister the day of the event. We are leaving VERY earlier. Details of time and location will be emailed to those who sign up. 2. For those who live in the central valley, we do have a meet up point on the route so you can join the group for the drive down. 3. If you need a radio, Motorola brand radios work best from experience. Models 25 miles up are what most of us going run. Cobra seems not to be as reliable so spend the money of the good radios. http://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/787.pnghttp://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/678.pnghttp://www.raddrives.com/radphotos/bimmer/21.png |

Anyone attending the track day besides James? I'm checking to see if my Cali will be permitted due to the roof without a roll bar. :cool: |
