One of my best friends is about 20 miles away, although I can almost see his house from my backyard (other side of the San Fernando Valley). Darryl is about 50--60 miles from me, and Braden (Turboge) is 25 in the other direction.
As an example, the four sites that we use for autocross are 25, 65, 70, 85, and 130 miles away from me. The 25 and 65 are South, the 70 and 85 are East, and the 130 is North. So we have venues up to 200 miles apart. Through LA traffic. It has taken me 3-4 hours to make it to the sites 65-85 miles away on a Friday afternoon.
OF course, Jay93dx, being in Visalia, isn't quite in the LA area. Closer to 200 miles North of LA. (BTW Jay, you may want to go through Tehachapi-hwy 58- if you come down to Norton. That will help you avoid most of the LA traffic.)

Now factor in life, work, family, kids, etc. Ya sure, everybody has the same deal, but the fact is, we aren't close to each other geographicaly at all.
and if it wasn't for geting together for autox races, i'd have gone cookoo long ago.

Hey Everyone!
Let's definitely do something on Memorial Day!
I have compiled a list of of the Southwest members. We all seem to be in California and the furthest north is in central California. The list is sorted by furthest distance from San Diego and then by name for those in the same city. Here's the list:
Well, if we had a vote of everyone, something tells me we'd be having the meet in San Diego.
However, that wouldn't be fair. A few people mentioned beach. It just happens that Ventura is just about right smack in the middle between San Diego and Visalia. It's 188 miles from San Diego and 191 miles from Visalia. That would make a really nice meet... nice and temperate, beautiful beaches, and a fun drive for everyone on the way (Pacific Coast Highway for southern dwellers, HWY 126 for northern dwellers). What do you guys think?
Let me know...

I just heard about the meet you guys are getting together and would be happy to go if someone could give me directions. I live pretty far away but don't mind driving distances (my girlfriend lives 4 hours away). I am curious though if anyone could give me basic directions from Santa Rosa? If anyone knows where that is, it is about an hour and a half north of San Fransisco. There's no tight pro's up here that I've seen and I would be overjoyed to see something other than a civic or an integra.
Any help?
