For all those who plan to be at the Streets of Willow for the Inside pass, we're organizing a group dinner for Tuesday the night before... Dinner is ON for Tuesday in Rosamond!!! We're going to have a group dinner in Rosamond at Zuma's Italian Restaurant starting at 7. You can get there earlier, the bar is open. It's just 6 miles from the track. Nice people, good food. We often eat there on race weekends. Location, directions, etc at http://www.zumas.us/ Traffic alert for those coming to Willow Springs - check for the road closure of the 5 freeway in the Newhall pass. Last night there was a HUGE collision in the overpass/tunnel and 24 hours later, it's still burning. The 5 is supposed to be closed AT LEAST through Tuesday and they're already reporting SIGNIFICANT damage to the concrete structure of the tunnel and thus the 5 where Northbound traffic crosses the tunnel. You should check - but the San Diegans ought to plan on coming up the 15, Glendalians up and over the ACH route. Gonna be terrible traffic for a week or more. You Northerners are still going to see heavy traffic near the 5 and 14... check it out ahead of time. We'll be pitting under the Glendale sunshades and will have additional shades and a few chairs and all the tools and most of the spares you will need, so come on out!!! If you haven't signed up, there are still a few spots in Expert/Race group or whatever it's called. Beginner and intermediate are sold out. Supposedly there ARE enough 1125R's for every rider and every session. Personal bikes ARE welcome! | ||

It was IN the tunnel in the southbound 5 NORTH of the junction with the 14. The fire broke up the concrete, meaning the roadway over the top isn't safe. This'll be bad for a while. FORTUNATELY, it does seem the 14 Northbound route might be open this AM. Traffic is gonna be a beyotch.  From the CHP (through AP)
On the TV news last night there was STILL smoke coming out of both ends of the tunnel after almost 30 hours.  | ||

I heard on the news last night that they should have the mess cleared up by tomorrow. Jim | ||

Right now, the routing that goes North onto the 14 from I-5 is open, ditto for southbound. It might be slow but it's not blocked. For other traffic, they'll have to be finding alternate routes. | ||
