Haven't taken that run (yet) but last year we took a run leaving out of La Canada. We headed up Angeles Crest Highway and over the top. Milt was there, Slodave, Dave (TRE Cup) and a lot of other guys. I know we didn't end up near Mt. Baldy we wound up over the hill and came down headed for Palmdale. Roads were pretty wide open and a lot of safe fun. Of course, I got separated from the group somewhere near Hwy 14 but still had a good time nonetheless. There is a picture thread on here somewhere.

that was the t-day run. upper big tujunga - woohoo! i had so much fun following dave (tre cup) in my '71. :D

Thinkfloyd14:

Glendora Mt. Road to Mt. Baldy is the most fun/most interesting drive I have been on in SoCal. I love it!

Here is a photo of the "one lane" section. It is amazing, but one has to be very mindful of every blind corner and just assume there will be big F150 coming in the other direction, a motrocyclist clipping the apex (complete idiots), or a bicyclist.

And, yes, there is a double standard when it comes to criticizing others on Pelican's Board. I was harshly criticized by some people for stating that bicycle traffic is getting heavy on Glendora Mt. Road and that it is foolish for them to ride a section of road that is not safe to share with cars under any conditions. Most of my fellow Porsche owners assumed I was some reckless out of control maniac that was going to give other Porsche owners a bad name. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I can tell you one thing, I don't drive anywhere near as fast as most people do on Pelican Board organized fun runs. I have been on a couple and there were some people driving way over their heads. Crossing the yellow line is plain irresponsible.

All the Mulholland threads have been great reading and I really do appreciate the "good old days" for what they were. I also appreciate the experience of driving quickly, but well within the limits of my self, my car, and the changing road conditions.

Track day, and nobody told me? real cool guys...

sorry jim, it was a last last last minute thing. we didn't get the ok from aron at speedventures till last night to come in at noon.

wait... is your car running now?

No worries, hope it was fun.

Yeah, I popped out my pop-off valve. Stuck it back in, and I'm golden. Im going to try to go to supercarsunday. If I can get up in time.

supercar sunday... yeah, too early for me.

Jim, Radu and any of the Sunday regulars, If you would like an alternative to a run today, your all welcome to come by the ranch for the afternoon. We'll fire up the bbq and open the game room I think theres a race SpeedChannel. Carol and I would love to have you stop by.PM me for the address or call me 730 1391.
Later!!

Kevin, Thanks for the invite, too bad I only saw it today(tuesday)

No one showed for at the Starbucks, and I did pre run to check for cops and everything. It was fun driving back though, solo mission.

Supercar Sunday was cool. So many Lamboghinis, not enough Porsches. I guess you "show" a Lambo and drive a Porsche.(guy has a Porsche for a year, and is already an eliteist)

Hope everyone had a good Memorial day.

Sorry to have posted so late Jim. It really was just a last minute thing we decided to do. People drifted in and out slowly throughout the night. Next time we'll give more notice. It was great to have those who made it by. Thanks to all for visiting.

I used to go to Willow Springs in the early 70'S , where is this track located ? I forgot .. somewhere between SD and LA ?
thanks,

North of LA, about an hr.5

North of LA, past Palmdale. Actually outside of Rosamond.

as others have posted, willow springs is a 90 mile drive north from los angeles.
horse thief mile is north of the "big track"

willow springs on google maps

Spy pictures of the other team ???

Roll Call for 6/03.....Who's in?

That photo chop job on the rear deck lid is hilarious!!!
Sean is a buddy of mine from way back Cobra Club/ Pro Racing/ NASA days
V cool guy and V much a racer

This Sunday- June 3 - LA Concours is at the Brokkside Golf Course next to the Rose Bowl
Some great cars will be there, inc RSR, 906, RS, etc

Don't know about the Sunday Mul Run for a while.
The heat's been on high up there lately.
Radu and I have been doing it in a more (homage to Dave and CRE) clandestine way. Perhaps we should choose another venue for a while.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

I think I might roll at Button willow

Concours de elegance in Hunington Beach as well with P.C.A. SD

i think a short early morning run, super car sunday and then the HB concours for me.

I'm into that.
Except I don't do "early" well.

well then just make the previous night really "late" :)
is 7 am too early?

man, i never get up before 9:30am.
:p

we'll see how motivated i'm feeling after saturday night.
just remembered it's a friend's birthday, and that crew likes to DRINK!http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat6.gif

(finally got an excuse to use that emoticon)

I'll be at the HB concours in the display class. So many nice cars come out. Put a coat of wax on and get in the display class. If not, at least stop in and say hi.

How does this sound: Meet at TRE 9 am- we do a reverse of thankgiving day - that drops us into La Canada- a couple exits from the Rose Bowl LA Concours

That sounds like a good plan.

I'd be down for that.
I'll let Radu know.

cool. btw derek, the last half of that route is the same as we took last weekend.

Hey Dave how about a brief description/ directions of the route for those(me) who don't know the course?
TIA

Figured as much.
Sounds like good times.
Chris, so that means your going as well?
Radu has something going on in the morning, so I think he's out.

Hey Do you think it might be better logistically to meet at my place (home, between Glenoaks and Foothill in Shadow Hills) ? We'd be a bit closer to the foothills and both Tajunga Canyons (big and little).
