San Diego Area

Looking to hook up with some beginning to intermediate off-roaders in the San Diego area.

I am a newb to jeeping but not to common sense. I bought a jeep to try, and if I like it I will buy another and give this one to my daughter.

I am truly a quick learner and looking for other beginners or some old salt that is just willing to share the wisdom of their experience.

I would like to go jeeping at least once a month and of course more during the learning stages.

Currently, fire roads are all I have found around hear and a few construction areas.

What I am proposing is that all the way south newbs UNITE... if we can find some old salts to come along we can all learn faster. But I say lets get this thing rolling...

WHO IS WITH ME....?

Current jeep is

88 YJ
31x10.5.15 BFG ATs
I6 258 carbed
Pretty good condition but I am replacing all the parts that should have been replaced ages ago. (Hoses/clamps/Top etc...)
(The jeep sat for 3 years so I'm shaking out all the cobwebs...)

What do they mean by ALL ACCESS?
Like can I hang out in Dale Jr's motorcoach?
Will he make me a sandwich?
Could I pull my Jeep into the garage and have Tony Eury Jr. and Chad Knauss work on my setup?
It gets me into the garage area, pit, and infield area. I need to see if Kim wants to go. If not, I will have a spare. I had the same for the US Open here this year and for another Nascar race at Fontana a few years back.

Dale makes crappy sammiches too.

We are in the California Speedway Club on the upper level. I'm told its section 14 of it. Not sure where that is to be honest. I don't have my hands on the tickets yet. I get them Wednesday. They are for Saturday and Sunday and I have 2 passes. Its not looking like Kim is going so I may have a spare.

If we don't talk before hand I'll give you a call on Sunday before the race. If probably won't stay long. I'll go early, hit the garage and pit area and jet. I'll hand over the passes to ya after that if you want them.

New parts started rolling in today. I picked up the distributor and start up lube today. The rings, bearings and gasket set should be here at the end of the week. I can probably assemble the thing on my own but will definitely need a hand hooking the trans/transfer case up and then dropping it all back in.

Anyone available maybe next week or the weekend after (6, 7, 8)?

No. We're all busy until the weekend after you get it all running again.

I'll be in Florida again starting this coming Sunday for about a week. Then I'm home for a week, then I'm off to Hawaii for two weeks.

I'm home from Sept 7th - 13th if you do something during those dates.
I wouldn't want to tie you up on the few days you are home. I'll just threaten to turn Steve's phone off to get him up here! :laugh:

Of course, you are always welcome to come on by!
