I know it's early but sounds like we may have a large group this year.

If the points race is on Sunday, when does it usually end? I would need to be in Monterey, CA by late Sun or Mon morning.

Starting to tear into the Dart now for new engine and other wingdings.

Someone out there correct me but did we finish on Saturday ?
If not Saturday points, all is said and done by 3 ish on Sunday. They finish the Pro class (it has the most enteries) after the car give away around 3. So you should be safe.

Running straight into California from Vegas is always a mess. Head North or south to or from Reno and its a straight smooth run, i know not everyone lives this far north but it does cut off alot of the city crap. Hope i can make it this year will try my darndest :D

We left LV for San Diego at 6am a couple of weeks ago.....We were clear of the city in minutes. ......the only hitch was the road construction right at the NV/CA border. I had to slow to 75mph.

It was a lot worse crossing LA the following Sat at noon.........

The worst are Chicago (always) ,,,,,and Tri-Cities WA during rush hour.

For whatever reasons I 90 through Rapid City ND during Bike Week is particularly quirky........
