San Diego Car, Cruise & Race Events!

[Tmagnum]

I've sat on the sidelines long enough hoping someone would do this other than myself... Well it is time to get busy...
I am finally taking the reins for San Diego County for the SoCalLX Car Club and will try and have the most updated list of events for the San Diego area.
Since I do not have the time to organize all of these events; I have taken the liberty to nominate our one and only… Mo!!! (FF2MOE) as SD President to facilitate this task.
Here is the list I have been able to compile for San Diego Car Events in San Diego County and surrounding areas for the remainder of the 2007 calendar year. You can find the link here at: http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=76038
I will list all events and BOLD the MOPAR night events; as well as denoting them in RED. Please add to the list if I have left anything out or you hear of something I have missed by Pm’ing me. I want to keep this list updated as much as possible. If I have additional dates, I will add them once provided via a pm.
Here are the reoccurring cruise, shows & events for the rest of 2007 for San Diego:
(Please note that there are 3 sections.)
#1 – Weekly and monthly cruise nights
#2 – Car Shows, Car Events and Monthly Meets
#3 – Racing – Drag Racing and Road Coarse Events
Sincerely,
