Dan, shoot of a pm to Wolverine350r. He lives in Ridgecrest works at the Naval Weapons Station at China Lake. Set up a weekend meet at Lake Isabella, about 1/2 way between you and a great cruise.

Re: Bakersfield

I'm down here in souther california, I wouldn't mind the drive up there, though I think I might fall into that category of a teenager that needed a cheap car, though I wanted a camaro to begin with and my parents did not buy it, i slaved away to get that 1100 bucks... lol

Re: Bakersfield

I'm not saying all teenagers are like that, but sometimes you can just tell they don't know the first thing about cars and all there car is for is to move them and their friends around, its not a hobby to them. you beening registered on this forum shows a different story.

With so few thirdgenners up there its tough to plan a meet and expect people to show up. I'd like to go to Famoso again and race sometime. And I'm still hoping for Dwayne to show up so we can plan a trip to Najoqui Falls near Solvang.

Re: Bakersfield

I've been trying to start a 3rd/4th gen meet in Twentynine Palms but I think I'll have to print out flyers or something since it seems like everybody out there has a modified F-body but aren't registered on any forums (or even have an internet connection!)... Chaos... What a sad world we live in. lol

I have half of them in Ridgecrest and the other half in Los Angeles and my 15th 5-speed in North Dakota.

Beggins has been over to my house.
