I was just doing some checking, it look like the drive to Pomona California is at about 9 1/2 hours (655 miles). I don't know if you guys would be interested in driving down, it sure would be a lot cheaper than flying for everyone involved and you wouldn't have to worry about your gear getting damaged by the airlines. I have a free flight but can use if at another time.
What I would propose is possibly leaving very early in the morning on Friday, maybe 4:30am. this would put us on site about 2:30pm assuming we didn't stop much. Then we would leave on Monday Morning and drive home. RCX is open on Saturday and Sunday. Lots of racing, and some Eye Candy as well.
estimating driving cost would be less than $100 round trip. We can get a inexpensive hotel room to keep cost down, This trip would be doable for a pretty reasonable price.
PN Racing will be running a PN Regional race during RXC and finish within the top 8 from any class will qualify you for the 2009 World Cup (it's in Spain this year). Might not be able to make that race, but it would be cool to actually qualify for it.
Last year the racing was really good, there were about 40 drivers participating and lots of fast compitition. I know I'm alot fast than I was last year and look forward to comparing myself against some of the best in the world. I bet the 2008 World Champions will be there.
Anyways, I just wanted to see if this would possibly entice Luke and Chad to posssibly go. I know that Russ is trying his best to get this into his budget and this might help as well.
