A note from the organizer

Hello Participants
of the 2006 California Autumn Classic,

The new Sunday morning arrival schedule.


I an effort to reduce waiting lines, we are asking drivers to stagger their arrival time. In the past, most cars arrived at 9:00am and a delayed waiting line kept cars idling until some engines overheated.


We have divided participants into four groups by Marque and are asking owners to arrive during their time segment. If you are not able to meet your designated time segment, don't worry, just come when you can. However if most people can follow the suggested arrival time it will spread out the arrival of cars, reduce your waiting time and make for less stress for everyone.


SUGGESTED ARRIVAL TIMES:


Jaguar and Mini arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 am


Austin-Healey and Lotus arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 am


MG and Morgan arrive between 9:00 and 9:30 am


Triumph and Sunbeam arrive between 9:30 and 10:00 am


The weather forecast is excellent and we are all looking forward to a fun and relaxing weekend with our British sports cars and good friends.


See you there.


Bill Meade
