i'm sure i'll be back out there again this year...

David Jerome 06-01-2009 10:44 AM

Im in again, I would prefer to go out for about 4 days this time though to actually get too see some of Cali

Herblenny 06-01-2009 11:10 AM

All pending what my wife's vacation is going to be... if it works out, I'll be out in SoCal for like 10 days. Otherwise, me and the wife would have to take separate vacation or I would have to fly back to SoCal like last year..

I give it about a 80% chance that I will be driving my FD up there this year. Who's comming with me? I'll be leaving from Birmingham, AL

definitely will be there.

DO IT!

Unfortunately, I don't have time to do that.. I would otherwise.. maybe :)

I'm trying to finish my car, but we'll see. I don't want to throw the twins back on.
I'll be cruising down with the rest of the NorCal guys if I do.

Its about 2000 miles... One way :)

Say 600 miles a day (10 hours of driving a day) will take about 3 days..

If you do 1000 miles a day (approximately 14-16 hours), 2 days

I say a good solid week to go there and come back..

if the cars not sold......i'll tag along.....

ZGN 06-02-2009 11:02 AM

Selling you car! Nooooo!!!
Either way I might be looking for a passenger to ride along to split the travel expenses.
Or a vendor or two who would like to be a sponsor!

That would be round trip $600 in fuel cost if we are @ $3/gallon!
I bet if I drove staight through I could make it in less than 30 hours!
I'll need to get my AC reinstalled for sure!

Phoenix7 06-02-2009 12:16 PM

NO way, 30 hours? I say 42.

Herblenny 06-02-2009 02:11 PM

LOL! Friend of mine just moved to SD and they just got there.. They left Bham on saturday afternoon :)

I've done 16 hour non-stop from St. Pete, FL to NYC (1100miles) back when I was in college by myself.. And I was in shape and I was still beat up by that trip. Doing double the mileage in an FD sounds like a nightmare to do it non-stop (no sleep over). Seriously, I think best you could do is break it up in 2 days.. 1000 miles a day, sleep somewhere and get to Irvine day before to relax.. otherwise, you'll be too beat to even enjoy the event...

This is what I'll do.. Leave early wednesday, get to tx somewhere that night.., leave early thursday get to CA that night.., sleep late friday, enjoy the CA weather and hangout, and hang out with some rotards on friday night, saturday, sunday, leave CA early... come back to Bham late tuesday night/early wednesday.. Its still a week trip :)

I have been riding my bike everyday, getting back in shape. I am going to pull this off in 30 hours or less! I would still leave a few days in advance to allow for sleep when I got there! Maybe we can put it in the record books. Quickest time from Birmingham to Irvine in a FD.
