I sent this out before and some had problems opening the link to view the event info and pricing etc. The event is three days with a car caravan on Friday, and we will have a car corral with space above the turn three area set aside for the NOBBC all three days, with laps on the track in YOUR car all three days. HIPE, HIPE HIPE! OK, it's three days, not all can spend three days screwing around at the track, (of course we could quit working or retire, kinda like our LBC's, LOL) but it would be nice to have some representation from our group. As for the laps, we are on a tether and it's parade laps, but I know that several of you got out last year in YOUR cars on a real race track for the first time ever, and were thrilled, it is a lot of fun, and opportunity that should not be missed. You should be able to open the Car Club Tips doc above, and the Infineon link below, but just in case, tix are: Sat / Sun $35 per person including entry to wine pavilion, car corral including laps $15 per car, OR Sat / Sun 2 day pass $50 per person including entry to wine pavilion both days, and car corral including laps both days, $20 per car. You must contact Mike D'Addario at Infineon, mdaddario at infineonraceway.com, or his direct line is 707-933-3941. Tickets and corral passes will only be available from Infineon, and will be mailed out in advance. Now I have to appologize here, in that I have not been able to retire yet, have been very busy, and had my head in the proverbial dark spot lately and I am late late late with this info, so I will see what I can do to help out with ticket distribution, but you must get ahold of Mike for tickets. General admission tix will available at the gate, but that's all. There is a car caravan on Friday which is a cool event in which we drive to Sonoma, for lunch and wine tasting, then back to the track, and do laps at 5 PM, again, we are on a tether, (don't want to fuel up on too much Pinot Noir and speed back for the fun) lunch, wine tasting and a car collection at Keller Estates on Lakeville Highway included in the price of $50 per person. If you enjoy Pinot Noir, Keller Estates is one of the premier Pinot producers from the newly appointed Petaluma wine appellation, really good stuff, and the owner has some really cool cars, believe me I know, I've had the wine and seen some of the cars, I'm spending the money. We will meet at the track at 9 AM, go through the main gate, up the hill to the C paddock lot just the past the driveway down to the paddock area, Mike will be there with donuts, coffee and bottled water, and tickets, we will assemble and get ready to depart. There will not be ticket sales day of the event. I will post a separate notice for this event. If I can be of help or answer questions for anyone, I can be reached at 707-766-9405, 849-6986 or at mvg1 at att.net.

I sent this out before and some had problems opening the link to view the event info and pricing etc. The event is three days with a car caravan on Friday, and we will have a car corral with space above the turn three area set aside for the NOBBC all three days, with laps on the track in YOUR car all three days. HIPE, HIPE HIPE! OK, it's three days, not all can spend three days screwing around at the track, (of course we could quit working or retire, kinda like our LBC's, LOL) but it would be nice to have some representation from our group. As for the laps, we are on a tether and it's parade laps, but I know that several of you got out last year in YOUR cars on a real race track for the first time ever, and were thrilled, it is a lot of fun, and opportunity that should not be missed. You should be able to open the Car Club Tips doc above, and the Infineon link below, but just in case, tix are: Sat / Sun $35 per person including entry to wine pavilion, car corral including laps $15 per car, OR Sat / Sun 2 day pass $50 per person including entry to wine pavilion both days, and car corral including laps both days, $20 per car. You must contact Mike D'Addario at Infineon, mdaddario at infineonraceway.com, or his direct line is 707-933-3941. Tickets and corral passes will only be available from Infineon, and will be mailed out in advance. Now I have to appologize here, in that I have not been able to retire yet, have been very busy, and had my head in the proverbial dark spot lately and I am late late late with this info, so I will see what I can do to help out with ticket distribution, but you must get ahold of Mike for tickets. General admission tix will available at the gate, but that's all. There is a car caravan on Friday which is a cool event in which we drive to Sonoma, for lunch and wine tasting, then back to the track, and do laps at 5 PM, again, we are on a tether, (don't want to fuel up on too much Pinot Noir and speed back for the fun) lunch, wine tasting and a car collection at Keller Estates on Lakeville Highway included in the price of $50 per person. If you enjoy Pinot Noir, Keller Estates is one of the premier Pinot producers from the newly appointed Petaluma wine appellation, really good stuff, and the owner has some really cool cars, believe me I know, I've had the wine and seen some of the cars, I'm spending the money. We will meet at the track at 9 AM, go through the main gate, up the hill to the C paddock lot just the past the driveway down to the paddock area, Mike will be there with donuts, coffee and bottled water, and tickets, we will assemble and get ready to depart. There will not be ticket sales day of the event. I will post a separate notice for this event. If I can be of help or answer questions for anyone, I can be reached at 707-766-9405, 849-6986 or at mvg1 at att.net.

Hello All, We are fast approaching the Sonoma Historics event at Infineon June 1-3. To date we have only a few members signed up to attend the event, Tim Thresh, Roland Quintero, Tony Bernard I believe, and myself, so I'm hoping that more will sign up pretty soon, John, Greg, Walter, Alan, David, Charlie Wehn, Sarto, Dennis and Sheryl, where are you guys, Betts Miller, did you get the hubby to give in, if not leave him at home. I've just spoken to Mike D'Addario, and he tells me that they have 332 race cars coming in from all over, the paddock area will be FULL! and the racing will be fantastic! Also, although Ticket Master is listed on the Infineon Link, (they own the software used by Infineon) if you buy from them, you will get a general admission ticket only for $40 per day, $5 more than from Infineon, but you cannot buy car corral passes from Ticket Master, these must be purchased from Infineon, and again, PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BEFORE THE EVENT. Also, if you plan to go on the car caravan Friday, tickets will not be available that day, so get PLEASE get ahold of Mike D'Addario ASAP. We have a great spot for our corral, right next to the Porsche Club up in the turn three area, good surface area, bathrooms, close to the transit system and the paddock area. We need a whole lot more cars and drivers out on the track! Even Roland's late model Jag. S--T, I'm even trying to get my wife to come out there with her little Mustang to do laps. Hey Old Crows, think we can have our Mustang ready by then? Let our members see our race car, maybe even put a seat back in it and give three lucky people rides in her, and break the new motor and tranny in on the track, DIBBS FOR FRIDAY. Come on people, let's get it in gear!

Really wanted to do the Friday drive/BBQ and car collection, so am disappointed. Hope you get some more participants soon.

Message-ID: This might appear in the Octagon MG Club newsletter. Haven't heard back from the editor yet. Since all my MGs are in various states of (dis)repair, I drove my '01 Miata to the Woodland British Car Show. The 90 degree ambient temperatures and the 90 mph speeds on Interstate 80 may have added to the appeal of driving the Miata. This is the same Miata that failed to get me to the big MG show in Reno. Today it performed flawlessly as one would expect a newer Japanese car to do. But the thrill of an MG it doesn't provide even though it's a modern imitation of a classic British sports car. I brought my camera and notepad as usual. As I arrived at the fairgrounds, the first British car I saw was an MGTF attempting to enter the fairgrounds on the wrong entry road. I later found out why the driver was a bit confused as to how to get into the display area. He had left home for the car show at 4:30 that morning and was on the road for four hours in that TF. A beautiful Morgan greeted me when I first walked into the car display area, and it was the first photo of the day. I met my friend Pat, and we toured the swap meet area. Dave Laughlin was there with his van of interesting parts for sale and his dog keeping him company. Selling parts next to Dave's display was a former enthusiast who had abandoned the hobby five years ago, and was liquidating some of his accumulation of parts. I bought a NOS Lucas voltage regulator still in the box for $10. What a score! He told me that after 30 years of owning and driving and working on British sports cars, he had decided to change hobbies. He said he is a surfer now and drives to Santa Cruz from Sacramento in his Honda van to ride the waves. He said he was glad to have a hobby that didn't skin his knuckles and expose him to dangerous chemicals. There were very few T-series MGs at the show, and the one TF that I saw driving in was the only TF at the show. But what a TF it was. I own a TF myself and can now recognize some of the details which distinguish an ordinary car from a show winner. This TF belongs to Grant Ross of Carson City. He has not owned it that long and told me he bought it sight-unseen from its prior owner in Pennsylvania. Grant relied on the pedigree of the car as it had won AACA contests and they have very exacting standards. He didn't come right and say it, but I think he paid around $30,000 for this car. Seeing its detailing, I would say he did well on this purchase. When it arrived by truck, he must have been delighted when he first saw the car. Being a TF1500, it has a bit more power than the 1250 model, and he told me it has had a modern 5-speed installed for better highway cruising. It had a frame-off restoration in 2007. Even the tires are period correct Dunlop bias ply which he said were old but never used. The four-hour drive was from Carson City, Nevada. And when I left the show Grant said he was going to drive home again that afternoon! He has more courage than I have! Bruce Blair must be the ultimate Morris Minor enthusiast. He also drove down from Carson City. With help from his family, he was displaying three Morris Minors and a Minor Junior pedal car. Bruce, wearing a factory-authorized BMC white shop coat, appears in the photograph beside his Minor 1,000,000. These little lavender Minor saloons were the special commemorative cars that marked the milestone 1,000,000 of Morris Minor production. BMC made a total of 350 of these unusual coloured cars, and Bruce's car is one of only 21 that were exported to North America. Bruce told me that his Morris collection consists of 12 1000s, 1 1000000, 1 MM (the split-window model), two Minor trailers, and two pedal cars. I told Bruce that I gave up on Minors after I nearly died in one. I once was very enthusiastic about Minors myself, and had just purchased a '67 Minor sedan that had been sitting for some time in western Marin County. With a new battery and a bit of work, I had it running and thought I could drive it home. As I was going down a very steep, winding, and long hill that descends into the Napa Valley, the brakes failed, the transmission failed, and the emergency brake cables broke. I was able to drive it into the hillsides on curves to scrub off speed. Closest I have come to dying as I am sure I was going about 60 mph by the time I reached the last curve at the bottom of the hill. But those cars do handle well and I survived without killing myself. However, I did sell that car and my other Minors and have not considered buying a Minor again. I saw few Mk 1 MGBs at the show, but Brandon Augustine's Mk 1 was a standout among all the MGBs. Brandon told me that he has owned his red B roadster since 1986, and that he and his dad restored it over a five year period ending in 2005. This red '67 roadster was very pretty with silver wire wheels and detailed engine compartment. Brandon told me that the car was sold originally in Walnut Creek, but was stored in a container from 1972 to 1986 prior to his purchasing it. I commented that there were few enthusiasts his age involved with this hobby, and he said that none of his friends had old British cars. Brandon, who is 41, lives in Napa, and I had seen the car parked in St. Helena where he works but I didn't know its owner until now. The '51 Allard of David Rossiter's was a standout at the show. Red and outrageous, sporting a Cadillac 331 OHV V8, an Allard like this must have really been the ultimate blend of hot rod and sports car in its day. David said that an original Allard only weighed 2,300 pounds, and had a top speed of about 140 mph. His car was purchased from a museum collection. I liked it a lot. Having owned four MGB GTs, I was captivated by Carl Biagi's '72 B GT. It was located in the Winner's Circle as it won Best of Class last year. Carl told me he had purchased his GT in 1974, and had used it originally as a daily driver. The restoration was lengthy; taking the better part of a decade, it was at a paint shop for seven years. Being a mechanic, Carl did all the other work himself. This car was outstanding. I have seen few B GTs that were this well detailed. He even retained all the smog equipment, so that it looks like a car in an MG showroom in 1972. About the only modification to the car I could see was wheels that were period alloys. But on the wheels were correct 20-year old Michelin XZX tires. We shared MGB GT stories, as I had just sold my '73 which I had owned for 25 years. Unfortunately, an MG show took place on the same Sunday in Danville, and this did have an effect on the numbers of MGs at this show. There were only four MGAs here. The last photo I took as I left the show was an MGA Twin Cam coupe which must be one of the rarest of MGAs. According to the book Original MGA, only 323 MGAs of this configuration were manufactured. Out in the parking lot was another red Mk 1 MGB roadster that should have been displayed inside and I snapped a photo of it. Parked in what little shade there was my Miata and next to it was a fibreglas Austin Healey replica that was also leaving. I asked the Healey replica owner why he didn't display his car, and he said he didn't even ask. Last photo is of a 1950 Ford convertible barn find that I checked out on the way home in the foothills of Napa. This car needs a lot of love. https://picasaweb.google.com/104973305347633073496/Woodland2012 From garywgermano at hotmail.com Wed May 23 18:42:36 2012 From: garywgermano at hotmail.com (Gary Germano) Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 17:42:36 -0700 Subject: [NOBBC] British car show in Woodland Calif.

Hello All, We are fast approaching the Sonoma Historics event at Infineon June 1-3. To date we have only a few members signed up to attend the event, Tim Thresh, Roland Quintero, Tony Bernard I believe, and myself, so I'm hoping that more will sign up pretty soon, John, Greg, Walter, Alan, David, Charlie Wehn, Sarto, Dennis and Sheryl, where are you guys, Betts Miller, did you get the hubby to give in, if not leave him at home. I've just spoken to Mike D'Addario, and he tells me that they have 332 race cars coming in from all over, the paddock area will be FULL! and the racing will be fantastic! Also, although Ticket Master is listed on the Infineon Link, (they own the software used by Infineon) if you buy from them, you will get a general admission ticket only for $40 per day, $5 more than from Infineon, but you cannot buy car corral passes from Ticket Master, these must be purchased from Infineon, and again, PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BEFORE THE EVENT. Also, if you plan to go on the car caravan Friday, tickets will not be available that day, so get PLEASE get ahold of Mike D'Addario ASAP. We have a great spot for our corral, right next to the Porsche Club up in the turn three area, good surface area, bathrooms, close to the transit system and the paddock area. We need a whole lot more cars and drivers out on the track! Even Roland's late model Jag. S--T, I'm even trying to get my wife to come out there with her little Mustang to do laps. Hey Old Crows, think we can have our Mustang ready by then? Let our members see our race car, maybe even put a seat back in it and give three lucky people rides in her, and break the new motor and tranny in on the track, DIBBS FOR FRIDAY. Come on people, let's get it in gear!

I sent this out before and some had problems opening the link to view the event info and pricing etc. The event is three days with a car caravan on Friday, and we will have a car corral with space above the turn three area set aside for the NOBBC all three days, with laps on the track in YOUR car all three days. HIPE, HIPE HIPE! OK, it's three days, not all can spend three days screwing around at the track, (of course we could quit working or retire, kinda like our LBC's, LOL) but it would be nice to have some representation from our group. As for the laps, we are on a tether and it's parade laps, but I know that several of you got out last year in YOUR cars on a real race track for the first time ever, and were thrilled, it is a lot of fun, and opportunity that should not be missed. You should be able to open the Car Club Tips doc above, and the Infineon link below, but just in case, tix are: Sat / Sun $35 per person including entry to wine pavilion, car corral including laps $15 per car, OR Sat / Sun 2 day pass $50 per person including entry to wine pavilion both days, and car corral including laps both days, $20 per car. You must contact Mike D'Addario at Infineon, mdaddario at infineonraceway.com, or his direct line is 707-933-3941. Tickets and corral passes will only be available from Infineon, and will be mailed out in advance. Now I have to appologize here, in that I have not been able to retire yet, have been very busy, and had my head in the proverbial dark spot lately and I am late late late with this info, so I will see what I can do to help out with ticket distribution, but you must get ahold of Mike for tickets. General admission tix will available at the gate, but that's all. There is a car caravan on Friday which is a cool event in which we drive to Sonoma, for lunch and wine tasting, then back to the track, and do laps at 5 PM, again, we are on a tether, (don't want to fuel up on too much Pinot Noir and speed back for the fun) lunch, wine tasting and a car collection at Keller Estates on Lakeville Highway included in the price of $50 per person. If you enjoy Pinot Noir, Keller Estates is one of the premier Pinot producers from the newly appointed Petaluma wine appellation, really good stuff, and the owner has some really cool cars, believe me I know, I've had the wine and seen some of the cars, I'm spending the money. We will meet at the track at 9 AM, go through the main gate, up the hill to the C paddock lot just the past the driveway down to the paddock area, Mike will be there with donuts, coffee and bottled water, and tickets, we will assemble and get ready to depart.

The big difference for us will club attendance, looks like we will definately have more car corral members on Saturday than Sunday. This is a really great event for a car guy, we have a great spot for the club, and your event ticket gets you into the wine pavilion for wine and food, I don't understand why it's so difficult to get people out for this, especially when you get to do laps in YOUR car at the end of the day. I've been screwing with cars and going to cars shows all my life, I still get excited about these stupid things. You need to call Mike D'Addario at 707-933-3941, or mdaddario at infineonraceway.com ASAP in order to get tickets and corral passes mailed out. DON'T call TicketMaster, they have nothing to do with the club activities. A lot of people are waiting to the last minute to order, so we may end up having to have tix and passes at will call, but that's a big hassle. Let me know what you decide to do, and if I can help you in any way, please let me know. I can be reached at 707-766-9405, 707-849-6986, or mvg1 at att.net. I hope to see you there.

Be sure to bring your lunch and chair. We will make a stop somewhere along the way so that those wishing to buy their lunch may do so. See y'all in the morning.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. So if someone wants to step up and volunteer to be the leader that would be cool. Anyway , you should all meet at Bad Ass Coffee at 10am and decide where to go. If a leader steps up and wants to do a planned route all the better. Happy Trails and I'll see you in June!

I haven't seen Brandon for a couple of years and always enjoyed chatting to him. His car always looked good. I wrote an article about North meets South and we also had MGs by the Bay as well so I don't know if your's will make it in this edition, but Felix never throws anything away and is begging for articles most months. Computer is is still with the computer guy so it's slow going on this old laptop. Andy ________________________________ From: Don To: North Bay British Car Club Sent: Wed, May 23, 2012 5:25:57 PM Subject: [NOBBC] British car show in Woodland Calif. This might appear in the Octagon MG Club newsletter. Haven't heard back from the editor yet. Since all my MGs are in various states of (dis)repair, I drove my '01 Miata to the Woodland British Car Show. The 90 degree ambient temperatures and the 90 mph speeds on Interstate 80 may have added to the appeal of driving the Miata. This is the same Miata that failed to get me to the big MG show in Reno. Today it performed flawlessly as one would expect a newer Japanese car to do. But the thrill of an MG it doesn't provide even though it's a modern imitation of a classic British sports car. I brought my camera and notepad as usual. As I arrived at the fairgrounds, the first British car I saw was an MGTF attempting to enter the fairgrounds on the wrong entry road. I later found out why the driver was a bit confused as to how to get into the display area. He had left home for the car show at 4:30 that morning and was on the road for four hours in that TF. A beautiful Morgan greeted me when I first walked into the car display area, and it was the first photo of the day. I met my friend Pat, and we toured the swap meet area. Dave Laughlin was there with his van of interesting parts for sale and his dog keeping him company. Selling parts next to Dave's display was a former enthusiast who had abandoned the hobby five years ago, and was liquidating some of his accumulation of parts. I bought a NOS Lucas voltage regulator still in the box for $10. What a score! He told me that after 30 years of owning and driving and working on British sports cars, he had decided to change hobbies. He said he is a surfer now and drives to Santa Cruz from Sacramento in his Honda van to ride the waves. He said he was glad to have a hobby that didn't skin his knuckles and expose him to dangerous chemicals. There were very few T-series MGs at the show, and the one TF that I saw driving in was the only TF at the show. But what a TF it was. I own a TF myself and can now recognize some of the details which distinguish an ordinary car from a show winner. This TF belongs to Grant Ross of Carson City. He has not owned it that long and told me he bought it sight-unseen from its prior owner in Pennsylvania. Grant relied on the pedigree of the car as it had won AACA contests and they have very exacting standards. He didn't come right and say it, but I think he paid around $30,000 for this car. Seeing its detailing, I would say he did well on this purchase. When it arrived by truck, he must have been delighted when he first saw the car. Being a TF1500, it has a bit more power than the 1250 model, and he told me it has had a modern 5-speed installed for better highway cruising. It had a frame-off restoration in 2007. Even the tires are period correct Dunlop bias ply which he said were old but never used. The four-hour drive was from Carson City, Nevada. And when I left the show Grant said he was going to drive home again that afternoon! He has more courage than I have! Bruce Blair must be the ultimate Morris Minor enthusiast. He also drove down from Carson City. With help from his family, he was displaying three Morris Minors and a Minor Junior pedal car. Bruce, wearing a factory-authorized BMC white shop coat, appears in the photograph beside his Minor 1,000,000. These little lavender Minor saloons were the special commemorative cars that marked the milestone 1,000,000 of Morris Minor production. BMC made a total of 350 of these unusual coloured cars, and Bruce's car is one of only 21 that were exported to North America. Bruce told me that his Morris collection consists of 12 1000s, 1 1000000, 1 MM (the split-window model), two Minor trailers, and two pedal cars. I told Bruce that I gave up on Minors after I nearly died in one. I once was very enthusiastic about Minors myself, and had just purchased a '67 Minor sedan that had been sitting for some time in western Marin County. With a new battery and a bit of work, I had it running and thought I could drive it home. As I was going down a very steep, winding, and long hill that descends into the Napa Valley, the brakes failed, the transmission failed, and the emergency brake cables broke. I was able to drive it into the hillsides on curves to scrub off speed. Closest I have come to dying as I am sure I was going about 60 mph by the time I reached the last curve at the bottom of the hill. But those cars do handle well and I survived without killing myself. However, I did sell that car and my other Minors and have not considered buying a Minor again. I saw few Mk 1 MGBs at the show, but Brandon Augustine's Mk 1 was a standout among all the MGBs. Brandon told me that he has owned his red B roadster since 1986, and that he and his dad restored it over a five year period ending in 2005. This red '67 roadster was very pretty with silver wire wheels and detailed engine compartment. Brandon told me that the car was sold originally in Walnut Creek, but was stored in a container from 1972 to 1986 prior to his purchasing it. I commented that there were few enthusiasts his age involved with this hobby, and he said that none of his friends had old British cars. Brandon, who is 41, lives in Napa, and I had seen the car parked in St. Helena where he works but I didn't know its owner until now. The '51 Allard of David Rossiter's was a standout at the show. Red and outrageous, sporting a Cadillac 331 OHV V8, an Allard like this must have really been the ultimate blend of hot rod and sports car in its day. David said that an original Allard only weighed 2,300 pounds, and had a top speed of about 140 mph. His car was purchased from a museum collection. I liked it a lot. Having owned four MGB GTs, I was captivated by Carl Biagi's '72 B GT. It was located in the Winner's Circle as it won Best of Class last year. Carl told me he had purchased his GT in 1974, and had used it originally as a daily driver. The restoration was lengthy; taking the better part of a decade, it was at a paint shop for seven years. Being a mechanic, Carl did all the other work himself. This car was outstanding. I have seen few B GTs that were this well detailed. He even retained all the smog equipment, so that it looks like a car in an MG showroom in 1972. About the only modification to the car I could see was wheels that were period alloys. But on the wheels were correct 20-year old Michelin XZX tires. We shared MGB GT stories, as I had just sold my '73 which I had owned for 25 years. Unfortunately, an MG show took place on the same Sunday in Danville, and this did have an effect on the numbers of MGs at this show. There were only four MGAs here. The last photo I took as I left the show was an MGA Twin Cam coupe which must be one of the rarest of MGAs. According to the book Original MGA, only 323 MGAs of this configuration were manufactured. Out in the parking lot was another red Mk 1 MGB roadster that should have been displayed inside and I snapped a photo of it. Parked in what little shade there was my Miata and next to it was a fibreglas Austin Healey replica that was also leaving. I asked the Healey replica owner why he didn't display his car, and he said he didn't even ask. Last photo is of a 1950 Ford convertible barn find that I checked out on the way home in the foothills of Napa. This car needs a lot of love. https://picasaweb.google.com/104973305347633073496/Woodland2012 _______________________________________________ NOBBC at autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/nobbc/andypreston at sbcglobal.net [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/msword which had a name of MGOC_write_up.doc] From tsthresh at hotmail.com Sat May 26 22:38:59 2012 From: tsthresh at hotmail.com (Tim ) Date: Sat, 26 May 2012 21:38:59 -0700 Subject: [NOBBC] Fri.

We always get some stragglers, so if you want to attend, you can get general admission tix at the gate for $40. The Friday car caravan is sold out with 71 cars. If you want to be part of the car corral and do laps in your car, you need to call Mike D'Addario at 707-933-3941 at Infineon by Thursday latest, and your tickets will be available at the will call office out in front of the gate. the weather will be great, lots of racing and on display, wine pavilion both days, it don't get any better than that. Also, although Ticket Master is listed on the Infineon Link, (they own the software used by Infineon) if you buy from them, you will get a general admission ticket only for $40 per day, $5 more than from Infineon, but you cannot buy car corral passes from Ticket Master, these must be pruchased from Mike D'Addario (707-933-3941). Here is the info for the Sonoma Historics vinatage car event at Infineon Raceway. I sent this out before and some had problems opening the link to view the event info and pricing etc. The event is three days with a car caravan on Friday, and we will have a car corral with space above the turn three area set aside for the NOBBC all three days, with laps on the track in YOUR car all three days. HIPE, HIPE HIPE! OK, it's three days, not all can spend three days screwing around at the track, (of course we could quit working or retire, kinda like our LBC's, LOL) but it would be nice to have some representation from our group. As for the laps, we are on a tether and it's parade laps, but I know that several of you got out last year in YOUR cars on a real race track for the first time ever, and were thrilled, it is a lot of fun, and opportunity that should not be missed. You should be able to open the Car Club Tips doc above, and the Infineon link below, but just in case, tix are: Sat / Sun $35 per person including entry to wine pavilion, car corral including laps $15 per car, OR Sat / Sun 2 day pass $50 per person including entry to wine pavilion both days, and car corral including laps both days, $20 per car. You must contact Mike D'Addario at Infineon, mdaddario at infineonraceway.com, or his direct line is 707-933-3941. Tickets and corral passes will only be available from Infineon, and will be mailed out in advance. Now I have to appologize here, in that I have not been able to retire yet, have been very busy, and had my head in the proverbial dark spot lately and I am late late late with this info, so I will see what I can do to help out with ticket distribution, but you must get ahold of Mike for tickets. General admission tix will available at the gate, but that's all. There is a car caravan on Friday which is a cool event in which we drive to Sonoma, for lunch and wine tasting, then back to the track, and do laps at 5 PM, again, we are on a tether, (don't want to fuel up on too much Pinot Noir and speed back for the fun) lunch, wine tasting and a car collection at Keller Estates on Lakeville Highway included in the price of $50 per person. If you enjoy Pinot Noir, Keller Estates is one of the premier Pinot producers from the newly appointed Petaluma wine appellation, really good stuff, and the owner has some really cool cars, believe me I know, I've had the wine and seen some of the cars, I'm spending the money. We will meet at the track at 9 AM, go through the main gate, up the hill to the C paddock lot just the past the driveway down to the paddock area, Mike will be there with donuts, coffee and bottled water, and tickets, we will assemble and get ready to depart. There will not be ticket sales day of the event. I will post a separate notice for this event. If I can be of help or answer questions for anyone, I can be reached at 707-766-9405, 849-6986 or at mvg1 at att.net.

Sounds like this guy could easily have wiped out a number of us on a tour. First, literally thank God she is ok! 1) His insurance "lapsed" for about a week when he ran into the gal's car sure sounds a bit too "coincidental" to me. 2) It is illegal in Ca. to drive without insurance. Nothing negative implied here, but if he was poor and or a minority, his car would be impounded, his license taken away immediately, and he would go to jail...ESPECIALLY..with a history of drunk driving. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE HERE. LET HIM GET A CHAUFFEUR AND SOLVE HIS TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS....AND INSURE SAFETY TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. 3) IMO, she needs to get a good law firm who doesn't want to lose to take this case on a contingency basis. Again, IMO, she has a moral obligation to keep him off the road. Convince her. 4) Another reason for mandatory ignition interlocks for any first drunk driving offense in California.

My good friend and neighbor is an attorney and handles these type of cases. He's very easy to talk to and friendly. Contact me off line if you think she can be persuaded to move forward with a claim against him. Andy -----Original Message----- From: nobbc-bounces at autox.team.net [mailto:nobbc-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Don Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 1:05 AM To: North Bay British Car Club Subject: [NOBBC] car query, not British Guys, First my apologies for posting this to the British car list. Here is the story. A gal who my wife knows had her car destroyed by a drunk driver. He hit her Toyota from the rear going about 80 mph, knocking her car off the road and into a field and a tree. Her car had an airbag; otherwise she would be dead instead of injured. The drunk guy is very wealthy and has a history of drunk driving, but has enough legal clout to keep out of jail. And, to make matters worse, his insurance had "lapsed" for about a week when he ran into the gal's car! She has uninsured driver but it's not going to cover all her costs. She doesn't have the energy to go the lawsuit route. Her car is destroyed, and she needs another one. She is naive about buying a car as the one she had she had owned for twenty years. If anyone knows of an older, preferably Japanese, car that is sound and under $3,500, please email me. Her leg is damaged from the accident, so would have to be an automatic. And she wants a car with an airbag again, as that is what saved her life before. Thanks!

No one knows of a car for her, so far though. I think many people believe that the system will work, and that justice prevails, and the good guy (or gal) wins. Having been involved with a lawsuit myself, I now know that Perry Mason on TV was fantasy stories that make us all feel good about how our system handles good vs. bad, right vs. wrong and so on. Here is the reply I got from her as to why she chooses to not pursue the matter through legal channels: The CHP report has gone to the D.A.'s office in Napa. I am waiting to see if he will be charged for a felony hit and run since I was injured. He is rich and has lawyers, the CHP have told me. Secondly, I have contacted the DMV and sent them a copy of the CHP report and a letter from his insurance stating he had no coverage at time of accident. This is a one year suspension of his license in the state of CA; I am staying on top of the DMV. "Everyone" has a "good" lawyer. I have used P.I. lawyers in the past for a car accident, they all are on contingency at 33% plus expenses and the "expenses" can be another 33% plus three years of depositions and litigation. If I lose, since this man has rich lawyers, I have to pay all his legal fees and go bankrupt. Plus, all injuries from previous lawsuits are admitted into evidence if I have another lawsuit. My focus is to get a car and move on. Thank you for your help. .
