Azusa Canyon Cruise and Motorgen Meet 4/11!!
 

Here's the videos from the meet and cruise.

[OP]
Monthly Motorgen Meet and Cruise!

This month we're taking a little bit longer cruise up through San Gabriel Canyon through part of the Angeles National Forest. Here is the entire route if anyone wants to see!

We will be meeting at the parking lot directly across the street from Nick's Burger at 3:30p.m. We are planning to leave for the cruise promptly at 4:00p.m. The cruise should take roughly 2 hours total. We will make one stop to collect everyone after we go through the canyon and I'll update where that will be in a day or two.

The address for Nick's is:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

The last meet was a blast with about 50 cars and a mix of domestic, euro, and import. from our last cruise.

I hope to see you all out there, it should be good times as always :)

If you have any questions or problems please call me at 714-322-2324 or shoot me an email at SeanPlunk@gmail.com. Also, here is the link on our calendar, and here is a link to the thread on our board. Thanks!!

woohoo, Brian over at GT PRO. His daughter and my g/f are good friends.

He gave me a tour of his whole shop. His shop and his work is top notch !

is this still on???

I'm working on it. I need to make a decision soon. Sadly, the AWD guys don't seem too interested so far :o

If it's off, we're doing another cruise instead - I'll keep everyone updated.

CRUISE CRUISE CRUISE:bigthumbsup:

X2, although I wouldnt be able to make a Saturday cruise :( Only sundays work for me. Maybe next time.

Why, you can't keep up.:smack:




Sorry, a really bad day.:o

I couldn't keep up?!?!......why you :rant:......:nutkick:

:smack:

Good deal, I can wait to dyno... to be honest... SRTforums is doing a couple days comin up SRTs only for $45/3pulls with a/f... :sm_up_there: doesn't beat hanging out with a bunch of V8s though!! I'll be bringing a buddy of mine along with his SRT for dyno and or cruise.

If this doesnt go through, how about going back to R.E.T. ?

I want to dyno again but with A/F. I also want to stick to the same dyno so I know approximately how much I have improved over last time.

Alright guys, the AWD thing just wasn't happening, so we're doing a cruise instead. Probably something down Azusa canyon. Keep your eyes here and I'll post up details tonight or tomorrow :bigthumbsup:

Ill keep an eye out and post over on the MB forums


Cruise was the better choice, haha

That seems to be the conventional wisdom. It's too bad we couldn't get enough people for the AWD thing, but they just didn't seem to be interested when push came to shove :huh:

I (myself me) have no interest in going to Azusa. :barf:

Wherefore?

HAHA, we're going canyon cruising, not to Azusa the city :p

I need to finalize the route and get the threads posted by tonight. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears - I could actually use the help :judge:

I was thining something like this. Note length and estimated time. It needs to be run to make sure it's open all the way through but basically I think it'd be a hoot.

Works for me. I get to follow the Yellow car again? :drink:

I'm in, as long as we keep the 4pm meet time. I work till 3pm in South County and had to boogie to get there by then last time.

4:30 departure (as last time) should be just fine. Sean?

Be careful !!!! We went up there not even 2 weeks ago and around a sharp turn sure enough there were 2 cops stoping every car that was with us. They asked us all why we didnt have front plates on etc etc. We're damn lucky none of us had to pop our hood open. The cop specifically said that now if you get a ticket IN AZUSA CANYONS for an illegal part when you show up to get it signed off they put your car up on a lift and check for EVERYTHING before signing your ticket off.

I dont mean to ruin the cruise, just trying to warn you guys that Azusa canyons has been used and abused and I personally would never go up there again with a big group of modified cars :P

Goodluck fellas.

I think most of us are legal, or so stealthy it'd take a very savvy cop to know.

I'm gonna drive behind Brutal64 :sm_up_there:

Well then, atleast throw on your front plate lol.
and remember, you'll most likely be speeding too ;)

can they technically pull me over for that? SRT4 comes with no brackets!

yes and they will. And no you can't have it in your dash. 20 dollar ticket now btw not 10 anymore.

If possible I'd like to leave a little earlier in order to make sure we get back in time. I'd also like to schedule one stop like last time to get everyone back together after the canyon. I am thinking of having everyone meet at 3:30 and leaving at 4. Paul, if you're late for any reason, we'll wait for you though :bigthumbsup:

There might be a problem regarding the missing front plates, but when I lead there is no speeding involved. Glenn can atest to that. I can put on my front plate for the day. ;)

front plates for the loss... im still mad the original owner of my car decided it was a good thing to put one on *shakes fist*

I will just book a phantom smog check for 2:30 that just happens to be a "no -show":whistle: .Then I can tell my boss I saved him $$$ by clocking out early !!

I don't have a front plate. :rolleyes2:


Look if there is any possible reason for us to pulled over, this is going to be a bust. We need another route. We will be at the mercy of a COP. I've never found that to be favorible.:leaving:


How about Brea Canyon thru Carbon Canyon type route?.


Look I've been thru this shit many times, when they (powers that be) decide to shut down a crusing place or course, they will write you up fo everything possible. It's their call and that's NEVER good.

And if the COP does know his shit, then what?? This is NOT looking good.:leaving:

As long as I'm following the Yellow beast, you should be able to keep up.:smack::thumbs_up:







You know I'm kidding??? Right????

Believe me, this cop was power tripping. I told him I didnt have my bracket for the front plate and he said "Yeah that's what everyone says, get your front plate on and Get the hell off my mountain! and dont come back". So then i was like "well do i go straight ahead or back the way i came? Then he said something like "Just get off my mountain, yes go straight!"

His face was kinda like this :mad: ...no joke.

You cant even park up there without a parking pass. He was also giving tickets to people that were parked there before we even rolled up.

hey Sean, my friend with an Evo told me the dyno day was not on the calender and ironically I was at GTpro yesterday, I even said something about it. I have my dads VR4, my friends evo, and a WRX wagon... maybe two
I noticed they removed your post on SoCal Evo and thats a bummer because thats where all the AWD Dyno whores are at. I really hope that we can get enough cars and if not maybe in the future... Then my car MAY be done, lol.
I am not able to sign in as often as I would like but I will keep checking....

It fell through due to lack of response. We'll try again some day with a different approach perhaps, but it was lukewarm at best this time.

"My mountain . . . " I do believe that would set me off.

Ok, how many people who are actually considering going are NOT legal?

I am. Sean is. Leedom is. You are. . . .

Legal by who's terms? If we are stopped and the COP is so inclined, they will find SOMETHING to write us up with. Right or wrong is not the point here, it is the hassle we will subject to. Some will get costly tickets other could just get fix it tickets. Either way I do not want to be subject to this. But, that's just me.:drink:


If the powers that be want us off that mountian they will get us off that mountain.:(
