HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-19-2008, 03:16 PM

Me
John?
Vinny? (I may have a friend riding shotgun, maybe I'll tell him next time he can come)
??????

satisaii · 03-19-2008, 03:58 PM

I have been given an option:

Go with Vivian and help show a couple of Chinese tourists Hollywood and Beverly Hills

or

Go on this drive

Darn, that is a difficult choice. Especially since I have had no interest in seeing Hollywood or Beverly Hills since I have been here. Lucky for me, I found a stand in to go with her. And if I miss getting up that morning, I will automatically be going to 2 places that I have no particular love for.

So Vinny, do you want to go for a ride in a supercharged AP2 to see what you missed out on?

chazdawg35 · 03-19-2008, 07:12 PM

Hey satisaii are you going?I plan on leaving simi 5am should get there by 7am.If you want to meet up on the way down let me know.Do you guys think the 210 to the 15 will be the way to come or the 5 to the 78? Morgan I'll be there so you won't have to cruze alone! LOL

nico · 03-19-2008, 08:12 PM

I want to go. but I might have to work Saturday. got some new tires, want to put them to the test. Yokahama S-drive in stock sizes. and John I would very much like to see pics of the models you have on display.

satisaii · 03-19-2008, 08:21 PM

Google is estimating 2 hours for my drive (up to 4 hours with traffic) of 113 miles. It has me going I5 to 57/91 to I15. This is the way I will go. I have gone some other ways in the past, and just want to keep it simple this time. I imagine I will try to be on I5 at 5:00 am to play it safe. You never can tell when Caltrans will block your route.

chazdawg35 · 03-19-2008, 08:50 PM

So do you think that I should leave earlier than 5? Where are you getting the cal trans closer at?

satisaii · 03-19-2008, 09:53 PM

I tend to drive reasonably, and plan for the worst.

Too many times I have been driving along I5 early in the morning and found it closed. Sometimes it is a wreck, but more often than not it is road work that has it closed. Instead of putting a sign up miles in advance, where you can make a reasonable detour, they wait until you are stuck before they notify you. I know they are closing portions of I5 for widening, but it SHOULD be open by that time.

Having said that... When you leave should be based on how you drive. It takes me 35-40 minutes to get from Simi (New Los Angeles/Princeton) to my exit on I5. I drive about 5 over the speed limit. If I were driving from there, I would be on the road at 4:30.

Vezna31 · 03-20-2008, 11:38 AM

My rotor and rear tires were delivered today, so I should be able to swap out the race pads and have the rotor done to make it Saturday. I think I'm going to put the finishing touch on beating up the R-compounds.

s2kx2 · 03-20-2008, 12:06 PM

Hey Aaron I hope you can make it. I do not have pictures of the models at Tamiya but, I will bring a magazine or two of the ones I have written articles for and the one that won my trip to Japan.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-21-2008, 06:01 AM

so whats the plan? chazdawg called me last night to find out where we are meeting

So what route are we running?
so 76-I15 or Deer Springs RD-I15 to meet up

s2kx2 · 03-21-2008, 06:53 AM

Well with Chaz coming from Simi and John not that far behind I suggest the usual 15 / 76 at 7:00 am. Thoughts? Aaron you gonna make it for this one?

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-21-2008, 06:57 AM

76-I15 it is then, see ya guys at 7am

Vezna31 · 03-21-2008, 08:06 AM

Deer Springs Rd

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-21-2008, 08:23 AM

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-21-2008, 08:41 AM

Deer Springs Road is fine with me

s2kx2 · 03-21-2008, 09:17 AM

Vezna31 · 03-21-2008, 07:19 PM

Rotors are done. I'm ready to drive!

nico · 03-21-2008, 08:56 PM

yeah i will be there.

Vezna31 · 03-22-2008, 04:41 PM

I just got back...4:30, 375 miles. We lost a bunch of people after we left. John split at the 79, Morgan split at the 76, and Hockey and 2 other guys got separated on the 79 and i don't know where they went. We waited at Mesa Grande for almost 30 minutes before going and doing Mesa Grande, up East Grade, down South Grade and down Couser Canyon and back to Deer Springs. These drives are becoming all-day affairs!

chazdawg35 · 03-22-2008, 04:53 PM

Just got home traffic sucked.It was a great ride thanks everybody for a good time.Maybee I can get everybody up to L.A. area for a sat,got some cool roads here too.

satisaii · 03-22-2008, 04:56 PM

I figure I did about about 350 miles. That road I took to I10 was really nice. It would make a good out and back for you guys. Some killer drop offs if you miss a turn.

I think the dirt road I got lost on is Lilac.

s2kx2 · 03-22-2008, 09:01 PM

Thanks to all who came on this run, I had a great time as always! I believe the black G35 was taping some of todays run, any idea where that may turn up? Thanks again to everyone who made it and be safe out there. So, when do we go in April?

Preferably after April 15 when tax season is done. Actually, I may need to skip April because of studying for the real estate li
