Anyone going to see this? Probably a dumb question ...

Here's more info .. http://admin.homedepotcenter.com/festival_detail.php?festival_id=11

I can't decide between seeing this, or doing the charity ride earlier in the month.

I'd see the World Cup. There are charity rides almost every week, whereas the World Cup isn't too common.

Hi,

I'll be there as a volunteer on Saturday and maybe Friday and Sunday. I'll probably be working the official's videotape on Saturday.

It should be very exciting this year as this is one of the qualifying events for the Summer Olympics.

That's cool. I've been there the past two years, and it was great.

If by chance the Charity Ride gets pushed back to the 19th, I'll still attend the night session. :)

Why would it get pushed back to the 19th?

Extreme weather. Rain is expected next weekend. Too soon to know about the 12th yet.

Hi Joy;
Maybe I will see you this Saturday. I am going there with Patty and Virginia (OCRebels gals).
BTW, thanks for a great ride this Saturday. Santa Monica Mountains were greatly enjoyed by all of us.
I hope we can do the same ride next year but maybe you should ride with us.

Session times are changed for the morning sessions and Sunday's afternoon session. There are so many riders they had to add more qualifying heats.

check the home depot center (http://homedepotcenter.com) site or the link in my sig for info.

Anyone know if there are discounted tickets for kids? A co-worker just handed me a voucher for two free tickets, but now I'll have to pay for the wee ones if we want to go.

No i think thats the track frame that retails for that much. Thye do each of those custom order and only make a few hundred a year. The frame up above is also their tt frame.

I think kids might be discounted. If they have racing licenses, they're free on Friday night,
