Oh boy....I can just picture this already. In&Out burgers? I'm definitely IN! We should try to hit Stillwater out in Pebble Beach too. Best brunch I've ever had in my life! I believe that Larry is also going down there around early July for Skip Barber so perhaps he could join us as well. I really do think that we should try to keep this reasonable. The last time I tried going all out, I got a ticket for $274 and that was only after he'd busted me for going 72 mph AFTER I'd slowed down from 150 mph.

 

Do it the weekend before the 4th of July.

 

alright I knew Jason would be in!! Vince time to enjoy the CS...or maybe the TT

I have a topic going on in the NOR CAL forum also to find out about dates they are doing things.

 

I might be up for it! I know some secret back roads down to SF, & some others for the way up, they add a few hours to the drive and about 75-100mi.

 

OH YES!! i'm totally down for that. I can plan my schedule if we have a date well in advance. Are you thinking I-5 or something more scenic? 101? I really don't care, let's get a huge group and get into some trouble

 

now you *****es are speaking my language...

assuming I have no business conflicts and I can plan far enough in advance... I am so in it hurts.

 

Let it be known...any car participating on this trip will be wearing a sticker.

*sticker **** signing off*

 

sounds fun! i have vacation time that i haven't used this year, so i may be in for this! hopefully, todds car will be done at queencity by then. i haven't been to cali in a longggg time!

when you guys post the date, i'll know for sure if i can make it.

 

Depending on the weekend, I'm in. Can you imaging those small towns as we all pull in for gas.

 

Is this a *****-out Gumball, no-holds barred, speeding tickets-be-damned type of road trip, or a PG-13/Rated R type of road trip from a speeding standpoint? I'm all for spirited driving and blasts above 100, but running 120+ consistently ain't my bag. Assuming it will be reasonably sane, I'd be up for this.

Grumpy Old Man, signing off.

 

lol! we just watched cannonball run at jason's last sunday. i love that movie!

 

1. Where's this infamous spider monkey so I can get a provisional membership and a sticker

2. I'm with busta rib. I don't drive ***** to the wall too often but will hit the 100s every now and then.

I'll be down for this long as we have a set date well in advance.

 

Can we get the VRAlexander plane? Hell yea I am all over it! I have been waiting for this thread since Bruce started talking about it.

 

I'm heading down to a Skip Barber school at Laguna Seca. I'll be leaving June 29th returning July 4th.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't keep up with the ambitious drive you have planned.

I'm leading a group next week down to Santa Barbara through some Northern California twisties. We generally don't let grass grow under us, but we do stop for gas, eats and a stretch every now and again. Our first day takes a little over 10 hours basically on the freeway to Eureka, CA. (580 miles) The next day will take us through the twisties to the freeway in the north bay area. We'll be driving about 10 hours to get to Pleasanton, CA in the east bay area. (approximately 375 miles)

I would suggest taking another couple of days to have a real arm wrestle through the twisties. Another alternative would be to do southern Oregon, which would shorten up the time required.
