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!!! For those of you who might come up Tuesday PM, we're going to all 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. We'll be pitting under the Glendale sunshades and will have additional shades and a few chairs and some tools too so come on out!!! | ||

Peter - gonna miss you this week. Bummer it HAD to be on a mid-week working day... but most weekends have regularly scheduled events at Willow. More specifics on the major traffic FUBAR: 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)

Coming up Tuesday PM with friend and staying at Best Western. Is that close? | ||
| Slaughter |
There's a Best WEstern in Palmdale, another in Lancaster and one in Mojave. If there's one in Rosamond, it'd have to be less than a mile from where we're having dinner on Tuesday. Less than 7 miles from the track. | ||

If you are staying at the Best Western in Rosamond, you're 3 blocks from Dinner - and almost exactly 7.5 miles to the racetrack - straight down Rosamond Boulevard until you see the sign on your right. It's the FIRST sign you see - for the Streets of Willow, Walt James Stadium. Second entrance is for the main track. | ||

Brian - Dang - you missed a great dinner. You can call Al Lighton about breakfast. Jerry Johnson is camping in the Love Shack at the track. You got a PM with Al's number. See you tomorrow. |
