So who from SoCal is going to the Festorics?

[FunElan]

We're leaving Thursday afternoon, anyone wanna caravan?

[HBChris]

Matt,

We are leaving the OC at 0530! Breakfast in Santa Barbara, then up the 101 to the 1.

[FunElan]

On Thursday or Friday?

Matt,

We're leaving on Thursday @ 5:30 from HB. As of Saturday, it looks like 4 cars will be heading up in our group.

[FunElan]

Don't know if we can swing that early! What time do you estimate to be in Monterey?

[02Nut]

We'll probably arrive in Monterey sometime after 3:00PM.

[FunElan]

What time does the clean car contest at Concorso start?

[HBChris]

When you arrive, just start cleaning!

I think judging starts around 11 perhaps, awards around 1?

I think we're gonna go then, just found out we had nothing to do on Friday. What time should we get there?

[HBChris]

We like to get to the BMW corral fairly early, maybe 7:00 or 7:30 I think. After all, we have to get all those dead bugs off our grilles. With the move to the beautiful Marina Airport it is anyone's guess as to what the traffic will be like so earlier is better than later.

[FunElan]

Seeing as how we'll be traveling from SLO we'll probably get there at around 9:30. Are spots saved? Should we buy tickets for concorso now or when we get there?

[HBChris]

Matt, You should already have your tickets but you can probably buy them there as well. There will still be room but traffic getting in might be heavy. It looks like everyone has to use the same entrance which wasn't the case at Blackhawk. The coupes and 02s are far outnumbered by recent 3 and 5 series, most in a shade of silver or grey!

[FunElan]

Should I be buying spectator tickets for concorso? Is it really $90 a person?

[HBChris]

That won't get you into the Corral, you need the Non-Italian Exhibitor ticket which is now way more than $90, more like $150.
