This is always a fun run! Without Thomas telling us that we drive like sissies, we may actually be able to enjoy the view of the gun toting hunters that curse at us as we drive by.

Looks like the Dawn Patrol won't have to make a run to Mt Baldy. Have you thought about starting at Azusa Canyon to Mt Baldy?

Azuza would be good too. Where did you have in mind?. The starting point was chosen because it's what Thomas started. I don't like Starbucks but couldn't find a Peet's nearby.

Dawn Patrol. Were they at Rancho Carrillo last Sunday? We could meet nearby and caravan up.

I'm in.

Yes we've done the Azusa way up which is a little less twisty.

BTW and not to hijack. Need to know if you guys know someone local who can check my AF ratio and adjust if need be my MPS.

Slits?

Rob.... no...not Rotary Rob!
eric9144
My car may or may not be in one piece around that time...if it's together, I'm in for sure!

Not too sure on the photo of the creative parking job...you might have to spill the story now that you've posted the pic!
lagunero
Less twisty is better but more cyclists? I guessing it will be like last year...less speed more fun.

Actually....I was up GMR last weekend.....LOTS of cyclists and not too many motorcyclists.....39 is for sure less twisty accept as when you get to the top near where GMR joins Mt. Baldy road and there are less cyclists. IMHO.

If we go UP GMR there will be cyclists in the morning around 9:14 going up and down....it is amazing how fast they are going downhill.....some 40 plus MPH.

Gotta set my vent clearance before I go.

Elliot, You're thinking of the old drag strip, that's now part of the Miller brewery. The new Irwindale track is down the 605 about 1 mile, they have an oval track and 1/8 drag strip.

Well, the short story is over-cooked into a turn, hitting the brakes late and sliding out. If it weren't for that big ass boulder it is parked on, Rob would have made a steep descent into a valley with a really bad outcome. To say the least it is my belief he shit his pants though I didn't confirm that.

The car had a Suby conversion and was plenty fast. While his brakes were good, the boulder was much more effective in stopping the forward motion. We tried to pull it off but it wasn't going to happen.

There were about 20+ of us that were real happy with the outcome, but not the destruction of the car and the potential harm he could have come to.

It was a Wankel, you wanker!!

Elliot, I think the group should stick with the original plan of Glendora Mountain Road. Just keep an eye out for street Luge (?) riders. 5 years ago I almost took out 2 of them with my 911. These guys like to ride early in the morning.

Sounds good. I was wondering about where we might all meet befor we drive? I'll email THOMAS and see what he thinks.

Wow...what a novel idea. However there may be enough characters in and of themselves to make up for that.....what an interesting idea.

Me thinks Thomas should weigh in.

It's perpetually almost done. I was trying to have it done by Rennsport, but it's just not going to happen. I'll be in the 3.6.

SoCal guys, caravan?

You won't make Glendora by 0914 if you meet at 0900 hrs. Your car ain't that fast! biggrin.gif
