ok everyone,
we know this is soooo last minute.....
but here it is:

some of the brain trust...
(fatchance, tmagnum and I)
you figure out which one has the brains...
we decided this past weekend that we were going to do one this very weekend...
in fact this Sunday the 27th...
you know get everyone together in So. Cal. that does not have travel plans or family events already planned...
then I realized there is a bigger motorsports event this coming Sunday...
(even if Tony George has f'ed it up)...
it'll feature an unser and an andretti as well...
(almost like the old days)
The INDY 500!!!
so...
the cruise is off I say...


tonight though I realized one thing...
and I literally just thought of this one...
we could TIVO the INDY 500 and watch it at my house while we barbeque late in the afternoon say between 3-6pm?
did I just say that out loud?
dang!

alright here is the deal...
meet in Irvine at 8am leave at 8:30am...
cruise to Oceanside and meet the SD crew probably around 9:30-9:45am...
(WE ALSO NEED A MEET SPOT on the coast in Oceanside - oh BATMAN! - you are being requested - or anyone else for that matter with a good meet idea right at the first exit coming off of the 5 south -maybe even meet in one of the parking lots down by the oceanside harbor)
then roll down the coast...
have lunch in del mar/carmel valley at Tio Leo's right off of the 5 freeway & 56 probably around noon...
and continue to roll south along the coast...
probably to Pacific Beach and then turn around...
head up the 5 to the 56 and then to casa de butler...
where there is a huge arse grill that can hold up to 10 ol' 96's...
no problem...
so burgers, chicken, hot dogs, or whatever you want to bring and have me cook is no problem...
mmm wait...
no tofu on my grill...

so who is up for this?
otherwise we all stay silent and do our own thing this weekend and go out at look at our cars and all sigh...
"man I wish there was some car thing going on today"

anyone game?

List:
cbutler32
fatchance
tmagnum
SMK HEMI
NIKO



This is a cruise ONLY!!!
no smoking tires, reckless driving or "exhibitions of speed"...
the cops will be out in full force and we are "showing off" the rides...
you'll have all day Saturday to detail them and get them ready too!!!

I'll be down some other time with more notice. Make sure you take some pics. I have the family in town through Sunday afternoon and was then planning on heading to Fontana for the races.

Any takers? I'm game.

Cruise cancelled.

#1 - obviously too late to pull this off.

#2 - was the ton of PM's that the brain trust received asking to postpone this. Look for this to happen in the next several weeks.
