June 12 GMR Run

[Vettezuki]

The cruise was gloriously completed. Go here (http://motorgen.com/forum/showthread.php?p=53397#post53397)for pics and vids.

================================
OP

The meet point for this cruise will be at a Kohl's in Upland with a very large parking lot. The address for Kohl's is:

1923 N Campus Ave
Upland, CA 91784

This puts us only about 5 miles or so from the beginning of the run. As I mentioned above, the total distance for the entire cruise is 43.3 miles. It should last about an hour and a half total. Once we finish the run the meeting point will be at a restaurant called La Tolteca (EXCELLENT Mexican food with a large parking lot and plenty of room for all of us inside). The restaurant is less than 5 miles from the end of the run, so again it should be a lot easier to keep together. The address for La Tolteca is:

429 N Azusa Ave
Azusa, CA 91702

I am going to shoot for a meet time at the Kohl's in Upland at 2:45p.m. We will leave the lot at 3:30p.m. With any luck, we should arrive for dinner between 5 and 5:30p.m.

Here is the route we are taking. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=1923+North+Campus+Avenue,+Upland,+CA%E2%80%8 E&daddr=Glendora+Ridge+Rd+to:E+Fork+Rd+to:CA-39+S%2FSan+Gabriel+Canyon+Rd+to:429+North+Azusa+Av enue,+Azusa,+CA%E2%80%8E&geocode=%3BFbhmCgIdyab8-A%3BFdRKCgIdYvH6-A%3BFX5yCgIdWrv5-A%3BFdLFCAIdMt74-CnVHo6i7CfDgDGK-u_IBJ0heQ&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=34.132264,-117.642952&sspn=0.002087,0.005284&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=34.183122,-117.774124&spn=0.13235,0.338173&z=12) I have gone through and cleaned it up by hand (don't trust google maps completely) and it should be simple. I will have directions for everyone at the Kohl's and will hand them out before we leave. The drive is a lot of fun and the views are pretty incredible.

We did this cruise last in February and it was awesome. About 50 cars total - no traffic, and no law enforcement. We had Vette's, Camaro's, Mustang's, Evo's, Subie's, 240's, etc. It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from last time:

First: SCREW YOU!!!

B: I think it would have been better if the camera didn't weigh 200Lbs we need a tripod or something.

Three: You know you liked the backwards out the window 3" off the ground cinematic gold.

[Chuck]

You can ride with me again.

Yeah do you want me to meet you at Target or swing by my pad? Whatever works for you I am A Licensed Driver now. :inout:

You mean the Target off YL Blvd and the 57? That works for me.

[Shaolin Crane]

Hmm if i can get my car "smogged" before then i will be there

[C5Natie]

Too bad my car will be down for this one :(. Maybe I'll ride along with my friend.

[Douglas Mariani]

Bummer. We'll be doing ACH in July though. Stay tuned.

[kdracer73]

We are still going, and Cody will be too. We will have to skip dinner though. Cody has his Grad party at 6pm in Whittier. He said " I don't care if I am late for my party.....I'm doing motorgen GMR !! " I"m soo proud:thumbs_up:

[dmark101]

the gf and i are officially out. she's doing some SCCA driver instruction that day at auto club speedway.

[Chuck]

Yeah where you guys going to meet there anyway?

[jedhead]

I won't make it. My daughter is graduating from UC Irvine and then I fly to AZ right afterward. GMR run was really fun and sorry I will miss it.

Bob

[Leedom]

Yeah where you guys going to meet there anyway?

2:15pm over by Target work for you? Anyone else is welcome to meet us there and drive out with us.

[GTTS > Some]

The last ping was on the 8th, is this run still a go?

[Leedom]

Yup.

[ZexGX]

I'll be making it and a friend might bring his car too.

[Slow_HO_Daytona]

I'm on the freeway... If I'm late I'll catch up.....

[ZexGX]

Great run!! Really enjoyed testing the new alignment settings and the NT05 tires. The pace was decent and nothing too bad happened aside from the guy in the primer 240 getting a flat. Good thing was he had run-flats, bad thing is the sidewall is toast...

[WillBeck]

Good cruise.

I kind of tagged along at the last minute.

I had the yellow cavalier with a CF trunk.

[LOUD240]

Great cruise, fun in the twisties , the flat tire was a sh&*er though

[Vettezuki]

I don't know if they have it for the I phone but I have an app called PDA Net and I can plug it in to my phone through micro USB or Bluetooth and get "high speed" internet through my phone free. look in your app store.
