Santa Barbara run?

[scottb]

It's been awhile since Southern California Pelicans gathered for a Santa Barbara fun run. IIRC, the last time we even had a bit of wine tasting.

As the weather starts getting nicer and nicer, is anyone up for a run in the next couple of months? Dan? Mike? Ingo? Care to "host" the event?

That would be cool.

The Iron Bottom rally to SB is next week, I believe...

I can't find any info on the IBR, where it starts, etc. Saw some pics from past runs and it looks good. But, a 1000 miles??? I'd go to the staging point, but I doubt if I could/would do that many miles.

Scott, keep your thought going, a half day run is all I need.

Subscribed, But would appreciate IBR info also.

Nice PCH Run

For iron bottom info see the early S board. I'm pretty sure it's for 1974 and earlier cars only

1976 and earlier cars (hey SC's/ 3.2 Carreras look like early cars , right?)
Starts at the Rose Bowl 7 am this Thursday, the 10th. Already have about 20+ porsches joining the 100+ other makes this year. No fee, but bring $5 donation for the copy costs of the route maps.
Winds its way from Rose Bowl, Angeles Crest, Upper big Tujunga, Angeles Forest, Palmdale bl- Lake elizabeth road, pine canyon, quail lake, gorman/ frazier park, pine mountain, drop down to taft for lunch, then further north 58- paso robles first night.

Some guys come along thursday just for the run up to lunch, then go home. It is a real blast; lots of good people and cool cars

no need to call ahead for joining the drive- just show up !

[Zeke]

I'm not gonna pretend that a Carrera is <1976 no matter what my bumpers might portray. Still interested in the one day deal up near SB, but any other ideas are all welcome by me before it gets too hot.

One route I have not taken yet is up near Frazier Park and Pine Mountain. I wonder what the road up to Mt. Pinos is like. All along there looks very interesting with some side roads on Google Maps. I think this all comes towards SB or Ventura, depending on the fork you take.

I agree with Milt. If we're going to do a fun run to Santa Barbara, it would be more fun if we did it while the weather is cooler. No air conditioning...Sounds really fun to run up there though.

I agree.

We need the Santa Barbara guys to weigh in on this. Hey Mike, Ingo, Dan!! Y'all out there?

[DByers]

Scott, Just caught this thread. I have been busy of late and not on the board. Would be great to do another SB Run. My schedule is a little hectic at the moment but I will check into when I might be able to put together a drive. I will post to this thread with some dates in the near future and see what works for everyone interested.

A/C is not needed her in SB, at least if you have a targa.

[daepp]

I'm in. Sub'd!

[Joe Bob]

Whut's AC?

[Wickd89]

Sounds like a great idea. Maybe even add a little Santa Barbara County canyon run after lunch!

10th Annual No Frills Iron Bottom Motoring Tour
NON CRANIUS-INVERTUS-RECTUMUS
Why This is a No Frills Event
and
What you need to Know

The route book is as straight forward as we can make it. Mileage is
estimated, if the book says turn right when it should say turn left it is an
honest
mistake, not an attempt to get you lost. Complaints about the instructions are

not tolerated. Bring a map and use your common sense. following our route
is optional.

The California map provided by the Automobile Club of Southern California,
includes most of the roads on this tour (some roads are not well marked).
Even
the guy who lays out the route gets lost. If you have a GPS BRING IT

Start with a full fuel tank. Gas is available at several locations but
there are some long stretches without gas. Keep your tank topped off.

You will need your drivers license, car registration and proof of current
insurance to gain access to Ft. Hunter Liggett

Carry a cell phone. If you break down you are on your own. Other
participants may stop and offer help, because they are fellow gear heads.
However, you
are ultimately responsible for your own vehicle.
