And here's (http://motorgen.com/pic/showgallery.php/cat/982) the link to the photo album.

================================
Alright guys, it's that time again. Let's do a sunset run down Ortega Highway and then do a late dinner at Fudd's!

The plan is to meet on the Lake Elsinore side of Ortega at the outlet malls. It is a huge parking lot with plenty of room. The address for the meet point is:

17600 Collier Ave
Lake Elsinore, CA 92530

We'll meet at the end of the lot by Pottery Barn at 6p.m. and plan to leave the lot at 6:30 for Ortega. It should be a beautiful drive with the sun setting and hopefully the traffic will be less than going during the middle of the day :)

After we get through Ortega we'll jump on the 5 North and head up to Fuddruckers. We should get there right about 7:30p.m. for dinner. The address for Fudds is:

23621 El Toro Rd
Lake Forest, CA 92630

Here is the entire route. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=17600+Collier+Avenue+Lake+Elsinore,+CA+92530&daddr=23621+El+Toro+Road+Lake+Forest+CA,+92630&geocode=FZ1FAgIdp0wB-SmZPcP905ncgDE9Xkora4J2dA%3BFS39AAIdJwH8-CkDHWCk8OjcgDF4FLP4nbq7Lg&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=33.702885,-117.354841&sspn=0.015888,0.042272&ie=UTF8&ll=33.613476,-117.546158&spn=0.254464,0.676346&t=h&z=11) I'll have directions for everyone at the meet point. It should be great - see you all there!!!

[Leedom]

[enkeivette]

Hmmm Civil Procedure final... Motorgen cruise... Civil Procedure final... Motorgen cruise. That's a tough call.

[Shaolin Crane]

[silvein]

Doh, got plans that day. I'll have to hit up the next one. And make sure I keep the Motorgen days free.

[ZexGX]

Sunset drive on Ortega heading west? Doesn't the sun set in the west? Doesn't Ortega highway run East-West? :|

LOL, I think it will be fine. Plus, Lake Elsinore didn't seem like as much of a destination...

[jedhead]

I'm in.

Bob

[Slow_HO_Daytona]

I get to drive the 74 out to Elsinore and then back to get to Fuds!

I'll meet up with you if it's cool with you Adam... I ran the 74 at the same time of day Sunday (both ways). It's the best time of day to do the run.

[Vettezuki]

2nd Saturday of each month.

[Leedom]

Works for me. I think that you, me, Paul and Sean will be driving out there together.

[Chuck]

I am in got my DL back yesterday. Mommy's Day Motorgen cruse!

[Slow_HO_Daytona]

Works for me. I think that you, me, Paul and Sean will be driving out there together.

Sweet! As long as I'm not behind Sean!..... :suicide:

[SoCalC55]

^haha


i may have to go with all the cool kids and go on the pre meet to get to the meet drive

[SeanPlunk]

Sweet! As long as I'm not behind Sean!..... :suicide:

I'm actually going to visit Paul in Elsinore earlier in the day, so I'll meet you guys at the outlet mall.

[Slow_HO_Daytona]

I'm actually going to visit Paul in Elsinore earlier in the day, so I'll meet you guys at the outlet mall.

Well that's a relief and a bummer at the same time.... I was kinda looking forward to letting Sean get close in the easy stuff, and just leave him in the tight twisties.. :theehee:

Now all I have to look forward to is seeing if Adam has another near Head-On!

[Shaolin Crane]

i'd be looking forward to this more if i didnt discover a hole in my new bumper

[1BadWS6]

Thats one hell of a drive for us from hollywood but we will be there :drink:

[eric97srad]

I think I'm in for this weekend. Adam and Paul, is it cool if I meet up with you guys for the ride out to Elsinore too?

[SexyLxy]

Jack, Sean, and myself will all be in the cobra. We test drove the car seat in the cobra and guess what, IT FITS! Lol just don't ask about the stroller but we don't need the stroller on this run. Hopefully we'll all be able to handle the crazy turns that Sean will put us through ;) Fingers crossed.

[Leedom]

JHopefully we'll all be able to handle the crazy turns that Sean will put us through ;) Fingers crossed.
Alexis just made a funny. She said crazy turn and Sean in the same sentence! :rolling:

[Leedom]

You are more than welcome to joint us Eric. Stangs will rule this group.

[kdracer73]

[jedhead]

I won't be able to attend. I have the Post Office Canned Food Drive and a reception afterward.

Bob

[kdracer73]

That sounds good. 74 and La Novia ? In the School lot ?

[Shaolin Crane]

if you're still interested in checking out the suspension i might let you give my car a try if i can try out your mach :D

[Shaolin Crane]

so what time are we meeting?

[Leedom]

if you're still interested in checking out the suspension i might let you give my car a try if i can try out your mach :D

Maybe... depends on how loose I am feeling. This is my baby we are talking about here.

[Leedom]

I was thinking more the business area next to it where we met the first time before entering the 74. 5 is still the meet-up time although I might get there a little earlier.

[Shaolin Crane]

[94cobra69ss396]

Change of plans for me, won't be there for the pre-meet ride over Ortega. I'll be driving down with Ron and we'll meet everyone in Elsinore...

[BRUTAL64]

[Chuck]

Anyone up for silverado canyon trail out there?

[ZexGX]

I will be there. Had stomach flu or food poisoning or something yesterday - not fun! Much better today, temps back to normal - just sore. See you later today!

[SexyLxy]

Amy, the girls and I will be there.

Sweet, some other kidos :) Jack will be there too. We're breaking him in tonight.

[Leedom]

Sweet, some other kidos :) Jack will be there too. We're breaking him in tonight.

He will probably be crying most of the way. I would too if my dad drove such a fast car so slow.

It's fun when you can take the whole family. By the way we're going to bring a couple of booster seats for you guys since our kids don't need them any more. You won't need them for a while but it's nice to have one in each car when they're older so you don't have to keep moving them from car to car.

I want mommy to drive . . .

[94cobra69ss396]

Another great run guys. Thank you. Eric, I'm still impressed how well your Mustang did.

[Shaolin Crane]

Vids are up, nothing special just the back of leedoms car http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=xpeder89#g/u

[Leedom]

I had a good time. I think I pushed the car more than I ever have. My dad even said easy Adam once. I need to get some suspension stuff done though.

Lol, i was thinking the whole time man this is nice, there was a few times i noticed i was coming on 6 a little too close a few times, if i had a little more room i woulda nailed it more,, i fell back while reading the gauges and nailed it to catch back up, but overall i had a BLAST, so did my lady

[Shaolin Crane]

What suspension mods do you have done?

[Vettezuki]

Here a short video from the day (also in first post).

[kdracer73]

I posted some pics. My camera battery was dead, so some of mine are from my phone ! Bummed I couldn't shoot some video. The trip West was good , nice speed up the hill thanks to the blockage of the Dodge van

[Leedom]

What suspension mods do you have done?

MM C/C plates and Steeda Sport Springs (previous owner). I was considering getting new shocks first. got an recommendations? I was also playing around with the idea of MM panhard bar to help locate the rear better. Not to sure what to do first as I will have to do it in small steps. Got a ring to pay for.

Depends, do you daily your car? are you planning to do coil overs or traditional spring? Also, how often do you like to do the canyons thing and how hard do you really push it every time? Many classes prohibit the use of a panhard bar and if your main use for the car is drag racing a panhard bar isnt going to help much, but for an aggressive/street manners car that will see spirited driving and strip use i would recommend this set
http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_375_380&products_id=1018
and your springs should work well with those
and these control arms
http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21_91_427_455_460&products_id=530
that would transform your car into a new animal, nice and planted on the street and would help with keeping the car steady on launches and down the big end on the track

My car is not my daily. I want a balanced car that leans a little more towards the drag strip. I am not a frequent canyon runner but I would love to be able to drive a little more spiritedly through them when I do go through them.
