OP

Meet across the street from Nick's in Fullerton (intersection of Orangehtorpe and Brookhurst) at 3:30pm. Leave at 4:00pm for a north OC loop, probably including Turnbull canyon, a relatively short, but fun canyon run. More precise details to come later.

Turnbull is basically perfect for a Miata. Big power isn't that usefull up there, it's all about handling and balance.

I'll probably be there and if I can't drive my '91 by then, I'll run my '97 in sequential mode. It pulls nicely down low that way. :)

How is it compared to Palomar? I'd like to not get dizzy this time.

Heck I didn't know they had a sequential mode. Anywho, the curvy bits are much shorter, mostly between B and C, which is itself only like 5 miles or so. But that section is WAY more "intense" than anything at Palomar. By that I mean you will be constantly steering, tight turns, etc. The rest is pretty chill and a big chunk of the "cruise" is just getting to and from the area on the Fwy.

You missed the 21 switch-backs in 8 miles on Palomar, since you missed the turn off :jester::jester:

Kozak

02-11-2011, 05:10 PM

yea, about half of those on Facebook are my crew, lol. List just for fun: Me(GTO), Gbaraud on the forums(silver charger SRT8 from last GMR), Jetta turbo, civic, 2 sentras(yea, I didn't choose the cars), an unknown, a new SS Camaro, and an S2000. LS1 240Z and stock 350Z I rolled with last time wont be attending. Quite a ragtag crew, but all in good fun.

Vettezuki

02-12-2011, 02:40 PM

I'll be bringing directions tomorrow, but i think I'm going to chop off the Fullerton Road section (ran it last night). It's a fun road, but it's very tight and essentially a residential back road, including a golf course with a lot of crossings, may not be so much fun on a Sunday evening if there's many people out. So we'll just come all the way down Hacienda and shoot over to Beach Blvd.

Redondo Jon

02-12-2011, 06:47 PM

So we'll be on Beach Blvd. heading south to: the 91, or the 5?

Jon, one final small change. Rather than taking the 5 to 91, just going to take Auto Center to Orangethorpe.

I'll mention this tomorrow again, but this is a pretty straightforward run. But there are two places where you may be tempted to go off course. They are C and D. At C Turnbull Canyon Rd. goes left. DON'T. Go straight. Likewise at D Las Lomitas goes left. DON'T. Veer right onto Tetley.

Thanks for the heads-up. I’m double checking my plot right now. Using Auto Center Dr. as an alternate to the freeway is a rather elegant solution. I tip my hat to you sir. Hope to see you tomorrow.

Why if you thought that was elegant, wait til you see (hopefully) the last refinement. Thanks to MustangRay for the tip on going up to Beverly and taking that straight in instead of mucking around with Whittier Blvd.

If anyone lives in the Ontario area, we're rolling down to Ontario Mills Denny's just to meet up before heading to Fullerton. Meet at 2:30pm, Denny's on Milliken and the 10, should be a decent sized crew there, but I drive an Orange GTO if you need a focus point. We'll roll out at ~2:45 towards Nick's.

The STSV is much faster than people expect and even handles surprisingly well for a 4,500 lbs car. But on a tight road like that it is' easy to pick up too much speed going into a corner and under steer into the opposite lane. . . for example. :sm_up_there:

I have some radial bronchial sun activated eczema, which can look kinda nasty sometimes. I like to tell people the Dr.'s are "pretty sure" it's not contagious (it's not) as I get uncomfortably close to them and watch them squirm a little bit.

I car doesn't feel as quick or as fast than you expect so I underestimate the speed I am going. I went into one corner too fast, should have stayed in second, and front end washed out on me, the car is very nose heavy. Lucky no one was coming down the other way. Had a good time and hopefully I didn't frighten Ben too much.

oh hai there denim dong... Ben this was supposted to stay private...
I have some radial bronchial sun activated eczema, which can look kinda nasty sometimes. I like to tell people the Dr.'s are "pretty sure" it's not contagious (it's not) as I get uncomfortably close to them and watch them squirm a little bit.
I still call STD :sm_laughing:

Thanks again for the run guys, little short, but fun nonetheless. Btw, anyone see the douchebag at 0:36 walking by himself with a smile on his face? Also wanted to apologize to everyone who followed me and the SRT8 when we got lost off the 5, lmao. Oh and the supra that followed when I took the second wrong turn at Pioneer right after that...wasn't funny the second time. Like I said, had fun though, see you guys next month.

Its cool man, felt bad ditching all those other guys lol.... anyways we got there so no biggie.....went my own way at the end, has a supra meet to attend to :-) ......was a nice little cruise

This was a nice little drive till I caught up to a pickup truck trying to make it down with a flat front tire.:rant: I think my Yaris would have been the right size car for the short tight turns. I like the wide variety of rides and that silver Shelby would be fun to see on an open road pumping a serious amount of air through that motors.
