This thread is starting to remind me of the how many doobies? time/space
continuum experience when I was in college in the late
60's........Time/distance was measured in number of doobies a trip would
take.......Sometimes I got there before I left........
Maybe the tracks are closer than you think.......

I don't think so. LA is 350 miles from San Jose. Las Vegas is 530 miles.
>>> Fron the SF area :

How about from Cupertino? How about junction of 280/880(17)
Sears Point - 90 minutes (depending on traffic)
Laguna Seca- 90 minutes
ThunderHill - 2.5 hrs (without stopping at the discount malls)
ButtonWillow - 3 1/4 hrs (one stop at Burger King)
Willow Springs - 5 ( this of course EXCLUDES Palm Springs, Tustin and
the LA Grand Prix, Pomona, The new Penske track, and Coronado)
San Diego is another 175 miles from Willow Springs. So is Palm Springs
>>> Any challenges?
Yes
