Many forum members are traveling great distances to get together for the Spring fling in Irvine. Friday night is the informal meet & greet at the hotel. For the adventurious early risers on Saturday (0530 am) there is a great weekly informal car show / gathering (100 + vehicles) that takes place in Huntington Beach (Donut Derelicts - corner of Magnolia & Adams)(less than 20 miles from Spring Fling site) that runs from 5:30am until about 8:30am every Saturday morning. Cars / Trucks / Bikes from mild to wild, junkers to high dollar collectables. Ya never know what or who is going to show up. Lin is taking her new 300C SRT-8 down and i am going down in my Buick Grand National. The day is going to be full as it is (Spring Fling at 11:00am), so why not add in looking at some great California vehicles, cruise the coast back up to Irvine and make a real long day of it...lol. And if the early morning doesn't getcha, later that night there is also a local indoor Go-Cart racing track (about 15 miles from Spring Fling) that is open until 11:00pm on Saturdays (DROMO1 - 1431 North Main Street - Orange, CA 92867). Cost is $25 per race and includes helmet, race suit, neck pad, gloves, and approximately 20 - 25 laps of racing (1300 ft course - speeds up to 30 mph). This is for those that want to get their SPEED on without taking a chance on the local SoCal streets...Just some ideas.........I know when ever I drive to a new area, i try to jam in as much fun and adventure as possible cause vacations come and go....but memories last forever....Later Ray
