Perhaps a TeamSpeed gathering at the launch?

Definitely... I've seen vids from previous starting points, and it looks nuts.

Any idea where the start point is?

I'm up for a getting together, its fun to check out the parking garage and watch the cars take off. I was out of town last time, but I remember my lil bro sharing some stories and video since he was right in the middle of all the mischief.

I'm sure i'll hear about what hotel they are launching from shortly, but as I recall the best time to walk in the garage and snap pics is actually the night before while they're stickering up

FYI - on every other rally (incl. GB3000) that I attended, if we stopped in SF, we stayed at the Fairmont.

They are launching from the Fairmont. The surrounding blocks will be closed off. I believe they will be having their launch party at my club, Slide - Prohibition Playground - Upscale San Francisco Bar San Francisco Lounge San Francisco Club& Private Events Venue. We're still working out logistics... which reminds me... I need to call some people to be kept in the loop.

Too bad I couldn't get any sponsors to help me do the event this year. I did it in 03 from the same starting point but it was $12k back then, no way am I forking $120K this time.
