One of the moderators got back to me and said that he declined your request because he saw the basic John Smith name and the fact that you had just joined Facebook and thought it was a bogus account. He said he is sorry and if you will resubmit your request he will approve it.

There was a Porsches and Brew event organized by Matt LaMarsh for this morning, but it was officially cancelled due to the Storms today.

I'm still waiting on the new ride to arrive. Hopefully can get out on the road next weekend.

BTW...Lots of FB post about cops doing Major patrols on 129 and other roads up there. Drive conservatively...

We're thinking of rolling up there in the next hour or so.

I'm not going to have any wheels this weekend, and the weather looks incredible, so that really sucks. BUT, they should be here by next weekend and - as of now - the weather looks good so I will be going for a drive one way or another.

I'm on duty this wknd. unfortunately. Just got my TTS up and running after doing my own Spark plugs and filter change fast wknd. We went up Sunday on a whim, so no time to post.

I'm an every other wknd guy due to work.

Hadn’t heard of this before, Joe. Running 600+ miles of roads in that area sounds fun. Being on the Dragon with hundreds of others, or staying with a large crowd at Fontana sounds less fun. Been there before with a large Miata group and it was so crowded and chaotic I got up the first morning, checked out, drove across the Cherohala Skyway at 8AM by myself, turned left on 60 and went home. Maybe this is better run. Are you going?

I hear ya - if I go I'm just showing up to drive the roads and see a ton of Porsches - not into some big group outing, meals, lodging, etc.

I was just up there last weekend on a whim and I'd do it again for just about any reason.

We went over 15 years ago with a MINI rally and while not as chaotic, it was crowded and less fun. IMHO the Dragon is better on off days with smaller groups.
