Oiluj Posted December 6, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2011 Saw a TV program on the California Mille Migle. There were all levels of classic cars, including MG's, TR6's, etc. So I thought to myself, "That would be fun to do next year"Then I went to the website. OMG. Entry fee is $6,000! Looks like I won't be doing that run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlorber Posted December 6, 2011 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2011 Targa California. Runs in April...about $200.00. Home base is Paso Robles. My car should be done by then and this time I'll try to keep it on the road. It would be worth the drive down for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted December 6, 2011 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2011 This is the issue I keep running into guys and that is why I wanted to put together the great Texas Z rally. the Blue grass 1000 is almost 6000 dollarsThe california MM is right at 6000 dollarsTheir are other targa and rallies listed on vintagerallies.com, but do not bother looking, as they are ALL about 6000 dollars. This just seems insane and keeps the little guy out of them.I don't drive a classic Ferrari and have 6000 dollars of disposable income just laying around. I put a 3 day rally together and it would cost around 400 bucks including lodging. There is certainly no reason these should cost 6000 dollars. First class accommodations for 5 days might run you 1000 dollars, and you figure 500 bucks for food for the week if you eat VERY well at every meal. Then Gas. Then a nominal entry fee. I see no reason this should cost anywhere near 2000 dollars. I realize that these events are usually for a charity, which is great, and I am happy they are doing it. But for a working class guy with a family, I NEED NOT APPLY. I am going to push forward with the Great Texas Z rally again in spring time when it gets a bit warmer, but NOT texas hot. The roads around fredricksberg are awesome and the prices are less than half of what these guys charge. Mike W actually still went this past weekend and he said everything was wonderful. I plan to double up on amenities and handouts next time and by gosh I will be going! l plan for the first few weeks in march or april and look back on this site. I will have an event worth your time and I promise you it WILL NOT break the bank!I have had a dry run at getting this together, and learned a few things. I will have something even better planned for spring! Mark my words!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few friends of mine and myself will be in attendance (65 Mini, my Z, a 72 Skyline). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few friends of mine and myself will be in attendance (65 Mini, my Z, a 72 Skyline). I'd like to, but my bride's (whole) family is in-town and some of them are staying at our place. Second thought, might be a good excuse to get away!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember Ivan with the white Hakosuka, and his friend... we will all be rolling out together. He lives up north, so most likely we'll all be meeting at the location. Shoot me a PM with your e-mail so I can update you on logistics . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
