Bless my family and friends! The asked me what I wanted for my 50th
birthday and they all came through. I'm going to get a chance to fulfill
a long time dream.
On June 11, I'll be at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to take the 3 day open
wheel race driving course at the Skip Barber Racing School.
My girlfriend and I are going to turn it into a vacation, too: drive
down from Vancouver on the preceding weekend, do the course (while the
GF enjoys the Monterey Peninsula), then take a leisurely driving
vacation back. A little of the wine country, a little of the coast
highway... ...redwood forest.
It's going to be great.

Gilroy garlic festival is in July (YMMV if this is a good or bad
thing). For Redwoods, there's actually a lot of choices; I'd spent a
few hours at "Big Basin" State Park awhile back and 'twas fairly nice.

head straight for the sierras. yosemite probably will have retained
some of the snow
on 120 closer to the exit on the nevada exit even in june. The meadows
are not to be missed,
especially if you got a willing partner to roll in the hay with. Not
that it stops the locals.
Borat: Look, there is woman in car. Can we follow her, get her and
maybe have sexy time with her?
Driving instructor: No! No, you cannot do that.
Borat: Why not?
Driving instructor: Because a woman has the right to choose who
she has sex with.
Borat: [incredously] What!?
Driving instructor: Yeah, how about that?
Borat: You joke, right?
Driving instructor: No, there must be consent.
Borat: Ha-ha-ha!
Driving instructor: That good, huh?
Borat: Not good for me.
And, besides, the roads up there are reasonably twisty. If you turn
left from I-120 onto 385
there is a looong upgrade where you'd have a huge workout for the
motor
at 65-85mph in 3rd. I'd wonder if miata could climb it in 4th. I doubt
it will
with a passenger.
Fun to see suv driver's faces when you roar past them in a low
displacement 4 pot compact :^]

I've heard that about the aquarium too, so it's now definitely on the

While I'd love to play golf on this trip, I'm limited by both the fact
that I'm already asking my GF to come with me on a trip where I'm doing
something just for me for three days of it, and by the simple logistics
of not having enough room for my clubs with everything else that will be
packed into the Miata.
At least driving by Apple's headquarters might be possible.

Acause there's at least one of you in virtually every class of
experienced motorists; nitwit stuck in the first stage of competency
with the intent to show the instructors all they don't know.
You'll see... if your story isn't complete bullshit, which seems most

Perhaps you earlier missed this post of mine
(certainly partly intended for YOU!)
Over the years some posters from these newsgroups have
indicated interest in attending auto races on road courses.
Please, come out and enjoy!
It would be best if you sent an email to my listed address:
a425c...@hotmail.com
(Or you can post on this newsgroup)
so I can directly send you further information on the races
in a timely manner. Our organization's schedule is now set.
My organization will be racing at Mission's (about 20 miles
east of Vancouver) "River's Edge" track on June 10,
and Sept 2 & 3.
On the afternoon of our races you can view 6 totally different
30 minute races, ranging from big production looking cars
(yes, some very similar to NASCAR), to the smaller production
looking cars (plenty of Miatas), to formula, and sports racers.
We will be having 15 races (plus one or two endurance races)
this year in Oregon, Washington, and BC.
If we communicate beforehand, I'm quite confident I can get
you in with free pit passes (and no, you will not be required
to get your hands dirty on my, or anyone else's car - unless
you are wanting to!)
I am hoping I can meet a number of you in person
(but actually - if you want in, but wish to not meet me,
that is ok, and the free admission offer is still good).
So, obviously you will not be at that June race.
Please keep in touch about the Sept. 2 &3 one.
(Yes, I would be very happy to get you "hooked"!)

Yes. All you could possibly learn is that stupid people aren't very
good at high speed driving, or learning.
Been there, seen it, over and over.

The only sanctioning authority for the auto road course racing
near Vancouver BC (specificly at Mission BC) that I'm aware of is
Sports Car Club of British Columbia.
More can be read at:
http://www.sccbc.net/
So, that "club", would be the "organization", that is relevant there.
(*) Wondering, is it just me that senses skepticism & suspicion?
Yes, some people do offer nice things for free with no strings
attached. I have to pay SCCBC money to enter their races. They
then automaticly include x number of spectator/paddock/pit passes.
The vast majority of US drivers going to race in Canada just
let most of these go 'empty'. I'm happy to let someone who
wants them, and is unlikely to cause problems, use them.
So far (knock on wood), I've never had to regret it.
But then,, perhaps I'm just lucky!

Well, if a person just wants to wander the paddock & spectator
areas, they can wear pretty much whatever they want.
Thou, If a person does wish to volunteer to help either at
the turn stations or at pre-grid, we do wish them to wear white,
but we can normally come up with white shirts of some kind!
(grin back at you!)

OK. But why not just say "the Sports Car Club of British Columbia"
rather than "my organization". If nothing else, it would have been more
comprehensible to me from the first post. I didn't particularly recall
your posts from rec.autos.sport.f1, so I was a little thrown by the way
you phrased it is all.

I don't know. But if you mean that I was expressing some skepticism and
suspicion, you're not wrong. But it wasn't meant badly. I just wanted a
little clarification.

And if it comes to pass that I can take you up on your offer, I'll
certainly give you no cause to regret it. Thanks for the idea!
