Angeles Crest Drive August 2nd!!!

[A4Blk98SS]

Hey everyone,

Over the last couple months it's been really nice to meet a lot of you at the local street legal drags and various meets. Now that our fledgling website has a good user base, we figured it was time to have our own event. We are planning on driving up the Angeles Crest highway on August 2nd. A link to the thread on our site can be found here. It has all the details on where we are meeting, where we are going, where we are eating, and what time everything is going down. Also my friend was kind enough to already make the drive and put together a video so that everyone can see what the drive is going to be like. Please let us know if you plan on coming because the place we're eating is kind of small and we want to make sure to let them know in case 30 people are coming. You can let me know if you're coming by either registering for the event on our site here, or by shooting me an email at SeanPlunk@gmail.com. It should be a blast, I hope to see you you all out there.

Thanks.

Sean

Hmmm... haven't taken the GN up there since I got it. Used to go up there in the Z and the Vette a lot. Hopefully, SC&C will resend me my chassis brace soon cuz that would definitely help. Some of the most fun I've had in a car has been driving Angeles Crest. Anybody else here thinking about going?

Are any of you guys going to make it out - it should be a good time. We'd love to have a couple Turbo Buicks

What, nobody wants to bring there GN through a drive in the twisties

I'm going to be going. I was planning on taking my Camaro since I am going with a couple Camaro buddies, but my clutch is behaving badly, so unless I can adjust it out....I'll be in the GN.

Here are all the details, including a meet up point for those of you up near the actual Angeles Crest area. See you Saturday :rockon:




Angeles Crest Forest Cruise

VIDEO OF TEST RUN
Video.


MEET UP LOCATION - FULLERTON
Meet up at the North East corner of Orangethorpe and Brookhurst in Fullerton around 9:00 am for brief hang. Leave at 10:30 to pick up the 5 and head for an Angeles Crest Forest Run above LA. There's a McDonald's and Starbucks within walking distance of the meet up location.

1725 Orangethrope

MEET UP LOCATION - LA
For you guys meeting us near the base, I think the best location is the Shell Gass Station at:

4530 N ANGELES CREST HIGHWAY (SR 2)
LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, CA 91011-3201
818-790-3836

We will come off the 210 and do a U-Turn in front of the Station at approximately 11:10-15 am and you can just pick up the tail as we whip around.

BASIC ROUTE FROM FULLERTON
I've selected a Biker Friendly route that bypasses many of the interchanges on the 5.

91 West from Brookhurst, stay in right lane as it immediately becomes the 5 North
5 North to 605 North 10 Miles
605 North to 210 West 16 Miles
210 North to Hwy 2 16.5 Miles

Once on Hwy. 2, it's about 27.5 miles to Newcomb's Cafe, the only place to eat up there. It's also where all the bikes and cars hang. Lots of exotic bikes on Saturdays usually.

It's about another 13.2 Miles to where Hwy 2 is Closed.

THREAD
Also, you can participate in the discussion of the details in this thread.
