Deadmans had those undulating ripples going both ways. If your car was setup you could power through no problem with a bit of jounce. If the car wasnt set up you got wheel hop. Eastbound was the best since you could trail brake and keep the "R's up then tear down the straight towards Skyline.

Two of us had fun in the straight esses today.

EDIT: Either the palnts have not changed much or Jeff Photoshoped the image and removed the berm..... :rolleyes:

PS'd the berm away..I'm busted. I still liked it better how it was. Sometimes progress and urbanization is not a good thing. In the name of progress and urbanization they took our turnouts away, added cattle fences and ruined some of the best views in LA. Too many signs, too many lights, added the dusk till dawn clause......

HAMBUGER HAMLET! WOW. DON'T REMEMBER THE MERMAID, BUT DO RECALL THE GREAT HAMBURGERS. MAKES MY MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM. IS IT STILL THERE?

DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BLACK THING. BUT COLOR WAS NEVER A FACTOR TO US AND WE'D HAVE NEVER NOTICED. AS LONG AS THE BURGERS WERE GOOD.

WHEN DID THEY PUT THE FENCE ON TOP OF THE BERM?

Re: Gone a week & look what happens
 

OH YEAH GALLOS. THAT WAS IT. WE CALLED GALLOWS I BELIEVE.
THEY COULD MAKE A DANGED GOOD PIZZA. WE ATE QUITE A FEW AND ARE STILL HERE TODAY.

ONE CAR YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER SOLD!

Re: old red
 

THAT WAS THE BEST HANDLING CAR YOU EVER OWNED!

Re: Re: 'Old Blue
 

IS THAT TURN 8 AT RIR? RUSSELL TEACH YOU GUYS THAT?
IF SO BOY HAVE THE TIME CHANGED.

Re: old red
 

I FORGET, DID JOHNNY RYALS DO THE FENDER FLARES? THEY WERE AWESOME.

Actually I kind of liked the Datsun 1200 in the handling department, but that Mustang was definitely a ball to drive. I redid the fenders in the quanset hut after a few incidents, but Ryals may have known Gardner and helped him out before I got the rolling chassis. I just found some pics of us all that I'll have to scan this week. I can Email you the hi rez versions. Stay tuned.

Last Sunday March 11 2007, I hosted an event with The Ferrari Owners Club that started in La Canada at the Sports Chalet parking lot. Our run went up to Angeles Crest to Palmdale to Canyon Country. What a beautiful day for a run. Being Vice President and event coordinator of the Ferrari Club has been a blast. I get to plan great runs like this one, lead the pack, and end up at great places to eat. It dosn't get better than that.

Here we are stopping near the 14 freeway headed west. We just finished our forest drive and are now headed for Bouquet and San Francisquito Canyons. It was cool to see 17 Ferraris blasting through the forest at 120 mph. I do about 3 of these events per year. Check out www.FerrariOwnersClub.us Come and join in on the fun. On my events Porsches are of course always welcome. I'm bringing my RSR when it's checked out so that I can teach those Ferraris a lesson. Watch out for the tight stuff.......I'm gonna spank their little Italian butts.

Hey Banning,
Got a confession to make:
Last Saturday morning I could not sleep so I decided to jump in the car and do a little spying on the italians.... It took me a while to get there and by the time I found you guys you were just turning on PCH. I was out of gas but I decided to chase you for several miles anyway. I.even took some pix (I'll post them when I get home). I pulled into the first gass station I could find and that was the end of it.

Probably true. The owners, from Chicago, were white. We ate at various hamlets all over, and always noticed that the servers were african american. Palm Springs, Beverly Hills, Chicago- all the same. I liked it - without the risk of sounding racist- it was a lot cooler !

Pat: That's about the lowest mustang road racer i ever saw!

i remember when the guy that used to own it was cruising the streets in the valley- especially the interesting pin striping on the top of the car!

Hi gostraight,
I'm happy that you joined in on some of the fun. We had a Porsche Carrara GT with us recently, what an awesome car.
Banning

That's Carrera not Carrara!

Thanks, At first I felt like an intruder, but then I spotter another black widebody targa running with you guys.
I'll plan on heaving a full tank of gass next time.

The Hamburger Hamlet is still there. I was ate there a couple of weeks ago.

Regarding the servers, I was just passing on a bit of info about HH. I was surprised to hear that as well.

I have no idea when the fences went up, but most of the look out areas have them now.

Dave

Spirited run? Heck of lot of Horse-Spirit going on. Chris I think you have been spoiled. Life just gets better doesn't it?
