Default ATTN Bay Area Rennlisters (BAR): Another Drive Sunday Sep 14th

It is that time again...most of you saw my message to the Group and responded already.

Same meeting place: Let's plan on meeting at Hwy 92/35 between 7:15-7:45am in the PARKING lot (this is a Vista Point ON Hwy 35 - Skyline Blvd on the Southeast corner of the intersection of 35 and 92). We will take off no later than 7:55am. I will bring Coffee...I will get there at 7:15am.

I did get some very good route suggestions, however, the meeting locations were as far East as Livermore and as far north as Marin…with a 80-120 mile drive following. We can discuss these venues this Sunday. I am not familiar with everyone's location, therefore changing the meeting spot requires some investigation and commitment.

That said, we will once again take advantage of 35 as well as hwy 9. We will not go into Big Basin this time, as we will continue down 9. This is a nice stretch of road. I am not sure what to do after HWY 9, so feel free to complete a route and post here. We can always come back on HWY1.

Anthony,

I think you can follow 9 down to Santa Cruz and then turn north onto 1. I like climbing up 84 back to skyline. there is a nice stretch on the coast side before you start to climb.

Hey guys, you might consider stopping by Cherry's Jubilee at Laguna Seca on Sunday. While Cherry's is a vintage car, hot rod and custom car show (not your typical stop on a Porsche drive...) we've got a group of about 30 Porsche club instructors giving hot laps rides on the track all day in various track prepped Porsches. The cost is $22 for 3 laps (I think) and it all goes to charity - the Salinas Valley Medical Center.

There will be some serious hardware there to get a ride in: a brand new Cup car, a 700hp '72 that weighs only 1900lbs., a 500HP 928, and of course, my lowly old '86 Carrera cab...

Think about it...

Cool I like Cherries

Anthony:

I vote for a run down to Laguna Seca for some cherries jubilee.

Anyone else interested?

I was just at LS last Sunday. Anybody for a longer run - Yosemite? Ventura to meet the SoCal guys?

Terry, You will drive forever!

We will take Hwy 9 all the way to Hwy 1. At Hwy 1, anyone that wants to head to LS, can go South and the rest of the troops will make their way North to 84, where we will twist and climb back to 92. We will finish at Thimas Fogerty Winery.

Should be perfrect!

Thanks once again to Anthony for setting up this drive. I hope the first-timers enjoyed it enough to come back. That unobstructed stretch along Highway 9 was pure Porsche heaven!

Anthony,

What did you drive on this run? I heard you gave up the black baby! Actually to a friend of mine, small world isn't it?

My role this time was that of support!

I brought the route map, coffee and donuts...then waved goodbye to a bunch of grinning folks behind the wheel of their Porsches.

See you all in a month...

Here are my pictures of the drive.

As a first timer, I have to say I had a blast - Those are some great roads. Thanks for arranging it, Anthony. I hope you can find a way to go next time.
