Step right up ladies and gentlemen, please turn your attention to the main stage where the Motorgen crowd will dazzle us with their feats of skill, acts of bravery and ability to stretch tales to their tallest!!!


:smack:


Okay well, I guess this one is mine to throw down thanks to our glorious leader and a man named Utah...

Now I'm not sure when you all want to get together and make this happen, I'm good for just about anytime since my schedule usually dictates a yea or a nay for the entire day so it doesn't matter too much to me.

However...

The Supercar Sunday show at the The Promenade at Woodland Hills (6100 Topanga Canyon Blvd) is on Sunday morning between about 7am and 10:30am and it's usually my reason for driving all the way to friggin' Ventura to go drive, really I prefer ACH and now that it's open again I can go there in half the time. But if'n y'all are in favor of an afternoon run, that's fine as well although a good portion of the roads are in shadow by then. I really dig standing on Piuma looking over Malibu on one side with the valley on the other as the marine layer rolls back out to sea uncovering the south bay and on a good day all the way to the islands.

But I digress...

The Route (http://g.co/maps/rcwq)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/Onederbuddy/routemap1.jpg
I've come back to the link only to have Google decide it wants to go a different way so here is what it is supposed to look like...

*let's avoid the confusion*

The Stunt/Schueren/Piuma bit is a photo-op road, these are nice smooth roads with good curves and enough ups and downs to make the driver smile and keep the wife from vomiting in your lap. Near the head of The Snake you'll find Paul from Rock Store Photos (http://www.rockstorephotos.com) set up doing his thing, giving us all the opportunity for a poster shot if it turns out good. I purposely planned this part on the trip so he can shoot the drivers side of the car as we go by. Smart thinkin' huh?

Now as we all know I have rather questionable taste in food and even more questionable taste in establishments, so I will ask if anyone knows someplace in the area of the trip that they wouldn't have a problem taking their mom to, please speak up. I can't say I have been to a sit down restaurant that didn't have pictures of the food on the menu in quite some time, unsophisticated barbarian that I am.

So then, help a brotha' out.

I still need a time and a restaurant, the route I got down. (Although I have passed on a couple ideas to jefe)

^^^Isn't one within 35 miles of Woodland Hills and the one in Malibu is closed UFN

[Vettezuki]

Well there is a Sandwich and Salad place inside the same mall as the take off place that has a good Yelp rating (FWIW) and reasonable prices. THe good news there is that parking shouldn't be a problem at least. There's an In N' Out not too far from there, but it looks like a disaster waiting to happen if several dozen cars roll up on it . . basically it just won't work.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/stone-oven-canoga-park

Would be nice to get something with a little more character though.

[Vettezuki]

. . . There is a point on the map where, if some of the smaller cars or more technical drivers would like, it is possible to use an alternate route to go from Mulholland to P.C.H. Latigo Canyon parallels Kanan Dume Road so perhaps we can figure out a regrouping point on P.C.H. near the terminus of both roads and us little guys can have some fun . . .

Honestly, it's challenging enough to get a larger group to attempt following one route. Throwing in alternates would be impossible to convey sensibly to people who just show up for the run (which happens a lot). Let's stick to the one true route.

[silverscmustang]

well I saw a group of a few corvettes and camaros cruising PCH along side me a while back. Wouldnt you know they ended the cruise at KFC on PCH hahahaha.

Malibu Seafood is great :) but last time I went on a cruise that ended there we all had to park on the street. It made for great pictures though.

Well, two things...


First off, I don't think that particular Ruby's is there any longer, since the building that used to house Ruby's is now a parking lot.

Edit: Looks to me like they may have moved indoors.

And second, well, it would seem it's actually the correct meet spot and I put down the wrong mall as point A. Supercar Sunday is at the Westfield Promenade. It's about a half mile closer to the run and there is a restaurant or two there that might make everyone happy.

:bang:

So, yeah. Looks like I'm off to a flying one once again.

[sinaSRT-4]

Looking forward to this cruise route. Should make for some great pictures and vids.

[jedhead]

I may not make it. I think I will be cooking burgers and hotdogs for my youth group's picnic that day. I thought it was going to be on Saturday, but they moved it to Sunday.

[landshark99]

Sounds like a maybe for me depends on work, what if we skip Kanan and just do Latigo as a group, Latigo is tight but less cops and more fun

[Small White Car]

Sounds like a maybe for me depends on work, what if we skip Kanan and just do Latigo as a group, Latigo is tight but less cops and more fun

Because this way it would actually be backwards on Latigo. It is a much better run from P.C.H. to Kanan and much easier than trying to go from The Snake to Kanan to Latigo to P.C.H.

All lefts.

:yikes:

I just figured with a large group we may want to be on the southbound side (actually eastbound) of P.C.H. so we can see the ocean and not oncoming traffic.

My ass cheeks are eight inches from the pavement, the closer I am to the neat stuff the better chance I have of seeing it.

:jester:

The drive isn't spectacularly long and I know the slot car tracks so maybe after the main run we can break into small study groups and discuss the days events.

IF we were to meet in the morning, is there enough space at the Promenade to accommodate an additional 50 cars or so? I'm NOT a morning person and this isn't exactly in my neighborhood, but if we could combine the meetup with a cool car meet before rolling, that may be of some interest. This will require some update to the route.

[Kozak]

I'm NOT a morning person and this isn't exactly in my neighborhood

This. But I see the point and I'm, therefore, kind of leaning towards a morning meet. Regardless the date is still tricky for me since 'tis also the day my family would like to celebrate my big Two Five birthday, but I love Mulholland and you guys are alright so I might be able to squeeze ya in :jester:

I'll have to double check to make sure but usually not only is there room but you actually become part of the show.

The major meet here is the last Sunday of the month, that's when they have the marque meet but much like Cars and Coffee they do meet weekly.



At 7am...

[Redondo Jon]

Damn I really wish I wasn't missing this one. YOu boys have fun and I'll be seeing you soon.Hi Spots. Last time I saw you we were doing the Hangover run. :bang: Hopefully, you can make it to the next cruise.

. . .



At 7am...

No. If the 9/11 meet goes through to 10:00 or so people can show up earlier if they want and we can roll from there.

[ZexGX]

I am going and this time I am NOT holding the camera... lol.

[Small White Car]

:thumbs_up:


I was meanin' if you want to get there earlier they start rolling in between six thirty and seven am. Anyone is welcome and if your car is cool looking, folks WILL be taking photographs of it.

When does it typically end? I'm think 11:00 am roll.

[Small White Car]

The posted time is 7am until 11am but the old guys hang and eat and drink coffee at Corner Cafe. There is plenty of room for everyone, support the merchants if you can as well, there is a 7-11 and gas and a McDonalds and what not all right in the general area.

I was just checking out the Supercar Sunday site and I came across this...

I dig most of the troops, Stanhope and I share the same feelings for the rest, if you got some extra stuff feel free to bring it along.

It seems our corporate overlords are fine with sending them to war with the latest killing machines but they fall short in making sure they have the stuff that gets you and I through the day.

[Vettezuki]

OP updated with likely final info.

[Damian]

Damn, you guys always do awsome cruises when I'm working!

[jedhead]

Sorry guys I won't make it. The youth group I am involved with is having a picnic on the 11th and I am cooking the burgers. Have fun, drive safe.

[Vettezuki]

Please see poll. I PM'd with Sean tonight and he didnt' get out the notifications to the other sites yet. It's getting a bit late now. My personal preference is punt on 9/11 (because I can't make it and I want to do this run) and move to 10/9 with better promotion, but if a bunch of you guys got this pencilled in and are gung-ho for it, fuck it, torpedos be damned.

[mr.woolery]

I'm planning to attend Supercar Sunday to donate to the troops anyway, then do the drive.

Most likely I'll be there in the Ariel...

...I think it's kinda too late to change dates for this meet/run, but I'm down for going to a 10/9 meet as well (in addition to the 9/11 one).

[silverscmustang]

^ I agree, we can do it this weekend and then do another in Oct that is similar but change the route a little.

[Small White Car]

Depending on who/what shows I will have a route that will make folks happy. In other words, 15 cars or less and we play follow the leader, more than 15 and we'll do the route as posted. Keep an eye out for my stripes or Woolery's Atom @ Supercar Sunday and we'll go from there for sure.

[silverscmustang]

sounds good to me :D

[Vettezuki]

Because of SMC's commitment and in the interest of trying to be as regular as humanly possible with the whole second Sunday thing, we're still on. I'll have Sean push out to the other sites tonight and whoever shows shows. Maybe a smaller group since at the moment its only MG and FB native and our larger groups are a pull from a bunch of sites.

[ZexGX]

I'm in with or without you guys! AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

Car's freshly aligned, feels mostly neutral in cornering even with somewhat balding rear tires.

Can't wait. Although, probably going to stay in the back... Behind Paul... Ok, maybe just in front of Paul. :D

[silverscmustang]

I will try to have my handycam, gopro, and NEX-3 all shooting video from suction cup mounts on the car so we can get some good footage of the cruise :)

Somebody give me some time on The Snake, closed, you'll nary hear a tire screech or see a wisp of smoke. You will see me movin' like a a greased pig through a goose though...

i know what you mean SWC, thats a great read about Mulholland if you havent already seen it

[silvein]

I'm doing this drive on Sunday. If we do the same one next month, well, thats ok too. Its not without precident (GMR again?).

[silverscmustang]

Thinking maybe I will try to find a pack of mini American flags to zip tie to our antennas for the cruise or something. What do you guys think?

[landshark99]

Baring some last minute event I should be there on Sunday 9/11, but 10/9 is out for me

[1EviLS1]

i should be there, looking foward to drive the car on pch/mulholland, hell its been almost 2 years since the last time

[kdracer73]

I can't make it this time !

[Redondo Jon]

I’m out also.

You guys suck, I'm in with my SRT8 buddy and at least 2 other cars, one Camaro and a Sentra SE-R Spec V...yea I said Sentra

Leedom is still going and I was going to print up directions for him to take based on the route in the OP, which I presume you to me the original route.

[DarkestSpade]

Got lost half way through. Disappointing. I think I will stay local from now on.

[kdracer73]

Yea.....Frankie and I got lost last time...Too many options !

[Small White Car]

I don't know what happened, it was supposed to be easy, how the hell did we get two and a half pages of directions?!

For the record I didn't want to lead... :p

I did get to meet Jay Leno and got some pics of the Bugatti he was driving. w00t!

Ended up on Tuna Canyon with JonB and silverscmustang, I saw a GoPro so I think there might be a video.

Well, there's always next time...



:worf:

[landshark99]

I not sure how people got lost, the stop sign turns sort of broke up the group, but we seem to all be together on top of the snake, then some of the vettes in front of me took off and went straight instead of turning on Kanan Dune Road, since it looked like no one followed me I decide to play and turned left on to Latigo Cyn down to PCH, fully expecting most of the cars to be in front of me, dis not see anyone. Drove all the way on PCH to Topanga Cyn, turned into the canyon, still no sightings of anybody, since again there was no one with me I detoured up Old Topanga, hoping for less traffic, drove out to the Westfield mall, thought I would see every one there, but instead all I found was a black Charger and a few minutes later the Honda 2000. We left a not, had lunch at Ruby's, came out to find a Miata parked next to us but I guess no one else made it back. I hope everybody had a good time at least, I had a blast, seeing Jay Leno and his 26' Bugatti was an added bonus.

This one?

[Vettezuki]

I don't know what happened, it was supposed to be easy, how the hell did we get two and a half pages of directions?!



Because you used destinations for each turn to create the route and I didn't have time to clean it up. Honestly though, the turns and distances were all there, it looked like a lot more than it was. But yes direction clean up is important. I'll keep the route and clean it up for next time. The area has lots of roads and turns so if you aren't used to it, it's probably a bit confusing.

[Small White Car]

Oh oh, so it's MY fault now is it...



:p


I hope you all had fun on whatever route you did eventually end up on, there's plenty of fun roads up there between the valley and the sea, next time we'll get someone who can lead to take point too.

I swear that moron in the small white car had no idea what he was doing...

Leisurely Paced Canyon Run - YouTube

[AARP]

Was about 20 minutes late and attempted to catch up with the group. In 3 hours of driving I never saw anyone else :lmfao:

Detoured from the route and had some fun on Corral Canyon Rd before doing Tuna Canyon. Parked next to the blue STI and charger at the mall and ate at Maggiano's (excellent by the way-they have a lunch deal where you order an entree and get to take a second one home for free.)

Can we please hit up Angeles Crest Highway next month before the winter hits it? That was probably the best/most organized cruise I've been on.

[Leedom]

My dad and I actually made every correct turn. We had a great time and we did get video of Jay and his Bugatti. My dad got a little confused by the direction (the towards XX street totally screwed him up. I told him... Just look at the major turns in bold and ignore everything else. Had a blast. When we turned onto PCH a guy came next to me and said that a bunch of guys turned the other way (towards Neptunes). I hear that during the Stop with Jay and though that a bunch of people were doing it. It was just Jerry and his friends. Jerry... you jackhole (j/k)

[Small White Car]

Can we please hit up Angeles Crest Highway next month before the winter hits it? That was probably the best/most organized cruise I've been on.

70 miles, no turn offs...


:lmfao:

[Redondo Jon]

What do you mean: no turn offs?

[duhveed]

yeah Angeles Crest has tons of them

[luder_5555]

^ Getting people to use them... Different story.

[mr.woolery]

Got split up from the group almost immediately (my fault)--I didn't even take notes on the directions. So, instead of desperately trying to find the group a few of us just went "playing" on the various roads in the area. It's a veritable playground up there, and we ended up running into a few other Motorgeners along the way anyway.

Downside: We didn't get to stick together

Upside: By not sticking together, I was free to drive at my own pace instead of being part of a mobile traffic jam "pack"

I suggest we do the Malibu area again, but next time just split the group into smaller subgroups (8-10 cars) according to skill/speed/comfort level/etc. each led by someone who's generally familiar with the area (I can lead a group). That way we can have mini-groups that'll be running at comfortable paces for the group, not overwhelm stop areas, and can be "managed" easier. The cool thing about doing it this way is that we'll constantly be seeing other Motorgen sub-groups drive past throughout the drive. Lots more social that way. It also generally keeps the stop areas (such as the overlook) from getting overwhelmed...there's not enough parking there for everyone anyway. This method doesn't require run maps, only simple caravan techniques (to ensure you don't leave people behind). That way we could have large numbers of Motorgeners showing up for the event without (or minimizing) the downsides of having large numbers of Motorgeners causing traffic (or getting split up, etc).

This technique wouldn't work all that well for an Angeles Crest run, but for a playground of roads that the Malibu area offers it's a perfect approach.

[Small White Car]

yeah Angeles Crest has tons of them


No turn offs, plenty of turn outs.


ACH goes pretty much straight through whereas Malibu has a hundred roads that look like driveways to go and play on with hidden street signs everywhere.


Missed out on Latigo yesterday, anyone hit it and how was it?

[landshark99]

The split run groups is a great idea, we could have a start point, maybe a mid point stop and then an end point where we could gather at a predetermined place for a late lunch or whatever. The small run groups also have the advantage of everybody would be following a car that knows where it is going, most of us cannot read the directions while driving and end up just playing follow the car in front, if they are lost so are we.
One of the other advantages of this approach is it allows us to play on smaller roads, if we wish on Sundays when there maybe too much traffic on the more common easy to follow routes, I could lead a group as well if we play in my local mountains.

As to, Latigo Cyn, I drove down it yesterday to PCH and it was a whole bunch of fun and in good shape until about the 1/8 of the route from the bottom, the road gets a little rougher down there and more importantly I got stuck behind a large SUV, but other wise, highly recommended.

[silverscmustang]

Had fun but ya, the directions were very confusing. Me and Jon B in MX-5 got stuck at one of the lights on topanga cyn blvd so were kinda left behind and had nobody to follow. I had a map and he had the last page of the map so I had to lead. We get to muholland and I see stunt road on the map but it doesnt say turn onto stunt road or anything, seemed like it skipped a bunch of steps. So me and Jon B make it to Tuna Cyn and take topanga back to the mall. Nobody is there so Jon B gets on the phone with someone and they tell us they are at the snake. So we start heading up that way and on the way up we see the atom and SWC. We go hit Tuna again and then go back to the mall.

I think the number one most confusing thing was that on certain streets there was no sign, like at the top of stunt. In the future I will print myself a map with the route cuz to me thats much easier than looking at streets and distances. Also, if we are doing a cruise then there should always be a regroup stop before we get to the intresting part of the cruise. I would be intrested in putting together the Oct 9 cruise if you guys want. I put together a cruise in the same area about a year ago with about 15-20 cars. No maps and nobody got lost.

When we turned onto PCH a guy came next to me and said that a bunch of guys turned the other way (towards Neptunes). I hear that during the Stop with Jay and though that a bunch of people were doing it. It was just Jerry and his friends. Jerry... you jackhole (j/k)

Yeah, Karn in the silver C5 Vette and all his friends (black BMW, GT-R, "El Shamu" C6, etc.) and then the blue C5 Vette, black Camaro, and silver Firebird (me) went to Neptunes for some food. After that, we hit up Decker and a couple other canyon runs (which is where I got the footage I posted a few posts back).

We also got to see an OLD biker guy throw a temper tantrum because his wife didn't save him a seat at Neptunes. LOL.

Had fun but ya, the directions were very confusing. Me and Jon B in MX-5 got stuck at one of the lights on topanga cyn blvd so were kinda left behind and had nobody to follow. I had a map and he had the last page of the map so I had to lead. We get to muholland and I see stunt road on the map but it doesnt say turn onto stunt road or anything, seemed like it skipped a bunch of steps. So me and Jon B make it to Tuna Cyn and take topanga back to the mall. Nobody is there so Jon B gets on the phone with someone and they tell us they are at the snake. So we start heading up that way and on the way up we see the atom and SWC. We go hit Tuna again and then go back to the mall.

Good points. Duly noted. It's my fault for not cleaning up the directions, I just printed straight from Google and it throws in a lot of not so necessary information.

No turn offs, plenty of turn outs.


ACH goes pretty much straight through whereas Malibu has a hundred roads that look like driveways to go and play on with hidden street signs everywhere.


Missed out on Latigo yesterday, anyone hit it and how was it?

This is why ACH (and GMR/GRR) are good cruises. Once you're on the road, you literally can't get off route. The Mulholland area has been the most challenging to do sucessfully (both cruises have been a little but . . dynamic let's say) because of the million options. We've pulled off 60+ cars meeting and running ACH with no problems. Even the small group can get mixed up in Malibu.

Here's the route that the blue C5Z06, the black turbo Camaro, and the pewter Firebird took: http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/4723/911mullhollandroute.png

There is an interesting one of me coming down The Snake that I might have to shell out a couple of bucks for.

My route on Sundayhttp://g.co/maps/n9ejc


I knew I should have stuck closer to you...


I was thinking of hitting Old Topanga back to Mulholland but I was hungry so I just kept over the hill AT 27 MPH! thanks to some asshole who decided it was his day to police the road, he wasn't too happy with the guy following him trying to push him down the road.


I'da liked to push them both over the side of the road.

But I digress...

The worst car I ever got stuck behind coming down GMR, it was fucking unbelievable, like 25-30mph . . . it was a . . Prius.

[silverscmustang]

me and a friend were coming down deer creek and a prius was just laying on the brakes the whole time. I was ready to just stop and wait for the idiot to just get to the bottom of the hill so I could go down faster than 10 mph. Prius drivers suck!

[luder_5555]

The worst that I ever got stuck behind was up the crest. On the way down I caught a F-150 that was going 10 under the limit that refused to get out of the way. My personal rule is to give the guy 5 chances to use LARGE turnouts. After that I give him a few flashes of the lights, then a "warm my tires weave". About 15 turnouts later we got to a passing lane and the guy actively blocked me swerving in front of me each time I tried to pass. I ended up just pulling off into a turnout and waiting about 10 minute so that I could safely drive the speed limit. The crazy part was that I hadn't been speeding, tailgating, or anything else that would have provoked his blocking. Heck most of that day I had been getting out of other people's way since I had my mother in the car who can't stand twisty roads.

I had a similar issue ACH except it was a BMW, he must have passed 100 turnouts and refused to pull over, I finally just turned right down Angeles Forest Hwy to get rid of him

You have to fall back a little and catch cock suckers like that by surprise.

[luder_5555]

I would tend to agree, but I didn't have any intention of coming up on a guy going 15-20mph faster than him when I feel like there is a good chance that he would just jump in front of me at the last second causing an accident. Plus in F150 vs. Lowered Miata, Miata loses every time.
