Sorry guys, but I'm gonna bail. The weather forcast just doesn't look good enough to make for an enjoyable drive. Let's do it again in May or June.

I need to get them off of the camera... too tired. Must watch Sebring...

BTW, we ended up at Infineon (did I mention it was a beautiful day?) in time to catch Tom W's race. Nice work by Tom. He took second

F*cking weathermen. It worked out for me to stay home for other reasons, so it's all good. Looking forward to pics, and I hope to see you all next time.

Default Pictures!

As Mark said, the skies remained clear and the roads were dry! It was a little cold and windy, but that's all the better for our cars.

Thanks to Darren for picking the route. All the brave souls who took a chance with the weather were rewarded with a fantastic drive and stunning scenary (especially near Lake Berryessa). We had a brief encounter with a sheriff but no tickets or lectures at all.

At the end, we stopped at Sears Point and saw Tom W do some REAL driving .....

Once again, it was a great day and I hope to see everybody at the next drive.

Thanks for letting a water-pumper join the run. Had a great time! And I was very happy to see the CHP do nothing but wave at us!!

I have never quoted myself... but I gotta do it

The alleged professionals who forecast our weather really can never tell what will take place.
Thankfully, they were wrong this time!
The storm blew through earlier than expected. Excellent day!
