I head down this weekend. Ill be in Delewhere most of the time. But plan on checking on the roads in OC a couple of times over the weekend and week.

 

113 is still a mess.

 

Other than a few turn offs for the side streets WAY north on just the northbound side, they look done.
Made it as far south as Mackys. And other than the peel and stick lane stripes not sticking(they are all over the road in bundles), nada thing to worry about.

Rumor I heard is that the new pavement means doing a burnout that leaves "black marks" will bring a destruction of public property charge. I have a hard time seeing that stick as an emergency stop would leave similar marks and ISNT charged.

 

Good to hear, thanks for updating. I was concerned at first and thought my car would be staying home this time around lol

 

Can you imagine how much revenue businesses and hotels in the area would miss out on if they fucked everything up with bad roads? I'm glad they're finished hopefully they can bang out another mile or two of road work before Thursday because that's when it starts getting busy

 

Not really liking the weather forecast...

 

Saturday looks like a wash, but the rest of the week seems ok.

 

Fingers crossed that the rain moves slow and Sunday ends up being the rainy day.

 

Damn you guys are right, I checked it a few days ago and looked like chance of rain sunday. Now it looks like rain all day Saturday and Sunday... FML!!!!

 

Any action down there on Thursday?

 

Should be some. A lot of folks start rolling in that day.

 

few folks there already, but pretty much a ghost town considering what it will be like in a few days.

As far as the roads go, I noticed a handful of manhole covers sitting about an inch lower than the new pavement. You hi HP cars should be careful if you're busting it and run across one of these. Especially in the dark.
I also noticed that they did a really good job near the drains that are in the slow lanes. flairs out pretty good. So no big holes/dips to worry about in the ones I saw anyway.
This new pavement is just from ~60th north to Del line. As was said above, only finishing up a few side street patches this morning. The 4 lanes are done.

 

So downtown is still the old pavement?

 

With our luck with weather, I figured it would rain. I will probably come up for the day in the Camaro on Friday if the weather holds out and then come back in the DD Saturday if it's just going to be showers and not a total washout. Hopefully it's still a good time.

 

I was going to try to drive my car from VA... sounds like it's getting trailered now anyway. Not because it needs it, but because I don't feel like driving in the rain on drag radials. I plan to make the best of it regardless. Even if it's just sitting in the house playing poker.

 

i'll be down there starting thursday. look for the the nbm with a bandaid on the driver side rear quarter panel :-p hope to meet some of you guys there!

 

Perhaps we should reschedule the ls1tech meet to a day thats not Saturday haha

 

Rain is what rain does. two years ago we did it with umbrellas.

But heres to hoping it stays clear.

 

Rain or shine I'll be at the meet Saturday. Just look for the beat up silver nova lol. Is anyone staying at the coastal inn?

 

Wonder if there will be any real Holden's down there......
