The new 303 is sweet, unfortunately not an option for me when I have to hit the East and South ends of Phoenix for Firebird. They don't have the North East section of the 303 completed. Only the North and West section that took me to Speedworld.

If you are driving from CA, you can save a lot of time by going on the 8 instead of the 10. When you get to Gila Bend, drive just past the airport and there will be a sign that says Maricopa RD, That use to be a dirt road, it's paved now and runs right along the rail road tracks. It shaves off a lot of miles and you will come out close to where Firebird is at.

Going this way also takes you past the main Pontiac Heaven yard location too. It could be a better way from the San Diego area but, I think I-10 is better for the La and northern Ca attendees. If you come on Friday, try to plan around rush hour if you can. If you can make the tech sessions which start at 1pm, you will not have any traffic issues.

There is much to be done in planning for our new location and dates but, will get it done. The schedule has been moved up an hour or so to help compensate for the higher expected temps.

We are looking forward to running another Pontiac Heaven weekend and seeing all our regular friends as well as making new ones.
There will be track time Friday eve, Saturday, Saturday eve and Sunday.

Thanks much to all my sponsors who support Pontiac Heaven events. I ask you to support them!

If they are driving from LA, the best way is to take the 10 to Indio and then get off on the expressway. There will be a sign that says desert cities. It cuts kitty corner over to the 8. From LA it should about 8 hours to Firebird, it could take more depending on traffic. Once you get past Indio there is not much to slow you down.
