I was looking at food establishments on Google Maps in the vicinity of Willows and am wondering if the Chinese restaurant on Tehama is good. What about Elenita's or Last Stand?

For anyone wondering on hotels, I'd book Holiday Inn Express. Thill is my home track and I've generally had good experiences with HIE. It is probably the most expensive as well, but can't put a price on a good nights rest before being on track early the next morning.
If anyone is wondering about food, the best food in town is going to be Casa Ramos. If you desire something a little fancier there are some nicer restaurants about 15 miles further up the 5.
HIE is where I'm staying

shi - who needs to see if anyone else is driving up from SoCal. With breaks, it's gonna be 9~10hrs of Mugen S1 time

I plan on eating breakfast at Willow Ranch on Tuesday morning between 8-10am, depending on when I wake up (I'm not a morning person!). I should be able to make it from Buttonwillow to Willows on one tank. I haven't booked yet but will probably book at Super 8 for the Formula car décor and Wyndham Wyzard points.

I can think of at least 5x commuting from SoCal + 3x from Eibach. Time to get this thread solidified:

I aim to arrive at 2-3pm, but I don't expect others to arrive until 4-5pm. I am arriving early to help setup and prepare for registration.

All, tshirt orders and catering numbers have been placed. I'v had three reach out in the last 24hrs noting they have
yet to register for guest spots. Register today if you haven't already:
https://itrexpo.com/register.18w.guest.php
Otherwise, your ability to receive an event t-shirt (in your size) and a dinner plate at the banquet will be
best effort. Aka, up to the printer or caterer accommodating your tardiness.
