SoCal New Years Cars & Coffee Tour

THIS UNOFFICIAL BACK ROADS RUN IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH PELICAN PARTS.
THIS IS A GUIDE TO WHERE YOU CAN MEET OTHER LIKE MINDED PEOPLE AND ENJOY THE NEW YEAR IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER


Ok... so here's the info DaveB (TRE Cup) sent me about the New Year's drive.
He asked me to post it because I guess they're busy moving the entire business or something crazy like that.

As we usually do each New Years Day, TRE Motorsports is hosting an informal cars and coffee, followed by the traditional tour of some of Southern California's best sports car roads.

We welcome all makes of cars and like minded enthusiasts to join us.
Meeting time is 7:30 am - 8:30 am and then the tour begins.

Please park in the rear lot or along Strathern St, leaving the central alley way clear

New address: 15854 Strathern St, Van Nuys, 91406
Click Here for the new TRE location in GoogleMaps

NEW route! We will NOT be going thru our usual New Years roads this year. The Malibu mountain area has become just too crowded, so we will be exploring other roads for approximately 2- 2.5 hour drive


This tour takes place rain or shine

Remember to follow all traffic laws and be considerate of others sharing the road !

Any chance a moderator out there can make this post "Sticky"?

I know a lot of people will want the information.

Missed it last year due to some much needed maintenance. I'll be there this year. Hopefully Santa will bring me a new Chip.

I always enjoy the New Year Run. I'd like to go to the next one, but I don't feel like driving to the Angeles Crest Highway or some area far away from my area in Thousand Oaks/Malibu.

I know we need to keep the route somewhat "secret" due to the CHP, etc., but I'd appreciate if someone could tell me privately or post the general direction of the route. I really liked the meeting in Calabasas because it is hard to get down to Dave's shop that early and it is cold in my hot rod 911 without a heater or windows.

Thanks!

I would suggest a route similar to the Turkey Day Run.
You could almost guarantee no one will be out there on New Year's Day!

I'm fairly sure DaveB has the route planned out. Similar to the T-day run, but with some bonus features thrown in.

SloDave might know more.

I couldn't go on the T-day run, so I was really hoping to go on the New Year's Run.

Dave, could you please consider those of us in the Ventura county/Maibu area and get the run up to us somehow? The route could be different.

The Calabasas meeting after the drive from the shop worked well for me in the past- will there be a second meeting point like in years past?

Any help would be appreciated

Looks like I'll be bringing the 993 as the 911 still has a loooong way to go. Could be much worse I guess.
