I'm in, wherever we're going. And where is that exactly? Just me and my helmet this time, I'm flying in Friday / out Sunday night as work needs prohibit taking a week for a leisurely drive down and back.

More cat herding... my day on Friday is flexible because I live here and I don't work in an office, so I'm good with anything. For those who are coming early enough to do a cruise on Friday, What are your time constraints? Figure 2-3 hours depending on how far we go. The sun sets at 6:40.
Option 1: leave the track at 4:30 or 5. Drive down Carmel Valley and Cachagua, come back via the valley just west of 101. The best part would be in daylight driving away from the sun. The last segment would be in the dark, but it gets us to Ellie's around 8 or 8:15.
Option 2: Leave much earlier (after lunch or something?) and do the Cachagua loop Turbofan posted earlier, and get back to the track around 4 or 5.
Option 3: ???

I expect that it's hard to sell right before the event because most people have made plans one way or the other by now and it's just not feasible to go on short notice/spend the money.
I'd totally pick up a cheap Saturday spot but I can't drive the whole day due to responsibilities.

I'm confused. Why so opposed to C? Dual driving a car?

Thanks guys, that was a great time! Quite a few of us were driving non-turbo’ed cars this year but while the horse power was down the fun was still there.
The Exocet was perfectly reliable and except for a bent rim from an impact on the turn 6 curb, made it through the event unscathed.
The Track Rat also proved to be a reliable beast for a $350 255K car put together with hand me down parts. 3 drivers over the course of 2 days and 2 1/2 tanks of gas.
The Track Rat in all it’s glory!
