machavez(Mike), great pics but you should give credit where credit is due. Your son (Mike Jr.) has a real eye for photography and he's quite good.
PS - I forgot you weren't going all the way to Monterey so I forgot to say "later" in Capitola. I tried calling your cell, but I got a message that said you were not taking calls.
Anyway, it was good to see you and little Mike again and we hope to see you again soon.
Later...Eloy

to everyone else, i had a SUPER FUN time... maybe because there weren't any twisties to stress me out! =) nice meeting everyone who i hadn't met before, and nice seeing those familiar faces. special thanks to TEXAS, you were very kind to us all at dinner. good job shane on the entire event! i think i should win "coolest female driver" from this event... since i was the only freakin' one! hahah, jk. sheesh, i need to recruit more =) fun times guys!
yes cool
[QUOTE=andy2434][QUOTE=g35 chippie]Don't yell at me. I didn't tip off Redwood City CHP and had nothin' to do with Officer M. showing up. He's an academy classmate of mine and a good friend. I'm sure he was professional and treated all of you respect.
g35 chippie,
Officer M. was quite cordial . . . Yes, he acted in a professional manner. Upon arriving at our staging site, Officer M. had ample reasons to cite many of us for various reasons. Yet, he opted not to.
During a discussion at a meal, it dawned on a few of us, as he parked his cruiser, a few of us, myself included, headed towards him. I have to believe that this may or may not have made him a bit uncomfortable. Nonetheless, he conducted himself in a stellar manner.
This was a good encounter with a LEO. We all appreciated the manner in which he handled the situation. 
I have to agree that he was cool. I along with others approched him to initiate the conversation. He just wanted to know what our plans were and i asured him we were going to behave ourselfs and had no plans for drifting compitions in the parking lot. He did mention that he could site us but would not. He was very cool but i did about s3!^ my pants when we say that he was calling for back up! Nice encounter and a good guy.

He must have called other CHP cause when we all crossed the toll bridge, another CHP was waiting on the left side and followed us through the meeting point. Once we knew that he was targetting us, we chatted on the walkie talkie and decided to split from the group. Some went to Target, some went to HomeDepot, etc. But somehow he spotted a group of people and cars at the parking lot and then called backup. When backup arrived, Rob, Michael (from Texas) and others approached the CHPs. The rests were history.

I knew I'd regret having to miss this meet. It's nice to be able to look at pics and see so many of my G friends having fun. I missed out for sure. 
Anyhow, glad everyone had a good time!

RObbo the BIG threat

, Officer immediately put his hands out and told Robbo to back off, I was watching his hands to see if he is going to draw his weapon...Its a joke, but I cant blame the officer if he did tho, cus you only need to take one look at Robbo and you know he is up to no good 
, and I peak over my shoulder, I see bunch ppl was walking towards us ...
