I might be able to make it for either the 10th or 11th so either is fine with me.

I vote for the 11th. I was planning to replace my intake manifold gasket on the 10th and tow my Vette up to Pasadena. Happy coincidence.

Took a drive up to Newcomb Ranch today. Forgot how nice it was and how fast some parts of ACH can be. Never thought I'd see 120mph up there. Oops. Lol

I almost wonder if it would have been faster to take ACH back home. I went to stop at the mcdonalds when we got to the 15 and it was closed! And then the 15/60 interchange was also closed, with heavy traffic on the 91 west until it split with the 55. Oh well, we made it back after the lunch (whoops, lol) but we did manage to grab some flowers for mom.

I was talking to some other guys who were up on ACH saturday, and they said it was a little breezy. All the dirt and rocks on the road must have brewed up over night with those strong winds. Better luck next time? :sm_laughing:

Nice seeing you guys. Those rocks sure did a number on my lt's. Here's a video of the worst one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bm220sRbcs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

“I almost wonder if it would have been faster to take ACH back home...”
I was thinking the same thing because I ended up in that same 91 / 55 traffic. Thankfully, it opened up passed that. I thought you did a good job leading the run though.

I was up there Friday and I could feel the loose dirt on the road. At first glance the road looked clean but I could feel the tires kicking up all the little pebbles. I still had decent grip so it probably got worse that night.
