Peeps, looks like the rain patterns have given us a window for Fj fun and games.
Rick C. is racing this weekend at nearby (me) Infinion raceway, so here's the plan.
I believe Rick's there for both Saturday and Sunday.
Riders could ride in from where ever on the Saturday. Stay Saturday night in Napa, (bike accommodation included), then maybe a quick dash round the vineyards, head to the races (last time it was only $10 entry) for Sunday afternoon.
Probably grab a pizza or subway for Rick and smuggle it into the pits. The food prices on site were a bit salty.
Riders on there way home late Sunday afternoon or if they can score a Monday off, then Monday morning.

Schedules for Sat & Sun, $10/person at the Gate covers the weekend. (Might not be charged if you just come Sunday.)

Should be great weather. Pizza (anything but vegan) or Subway (Chicken salad on white) sounds perfect! I'll bring extra lawn chairs. I'll be in garage #30.

Staying into the evening for a barbecue, and staying at the Novato Oaks Inn.

I gotta narrow window of opp during Sat afternoon.  The bike's been in hibernation.  If it will start I'll ride up and visit you.  We can tell lies about Jon.  BTW, did you know he's the original owner of an '83 GS1100E?  Drove him down to Golden Gate Cycles back in the day so he could pick it up.  Still owns it.

There's a Porsche racing biz in the shop area.  Do you use them?

Rick, looks like just me and possibly the wife on Sunday. Plan to be there at 10 ish to catch morning practice, lunch and the 3:00 race, leaving 4ish. Can you PM your cell number so we can text etc. I'll pick up some subs and sodas and we'll make a day of it.

The bike started and ran okay plus the RPM exhaust is on so barring calamity I'll be there Sat afternoon Rick.

Quick update for ffolks. Today was a mess with brake problems in warmup and qual. I've fixed a couple of things, but won't know for sure if it okay until race at 3. If I'm done for the weekend, I'll let you guys know. Joe, I'm in garage #30 along the front straight. Car #5
