make sure you bring a parachute

 

<p>Pretty sure hailey is driving down. So we'll be below the speed limit the whole way.</p><p>Can't speak for Ed in his 350hp miata, or his dad in the corvette.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

 

The worst part about that drive is NOT being able to watch the scenery while you are driving, because you are trying to watch out for all the other jackass drivers who ARE watching the scenery while driving.

Highway 1 has the potential to be a lot more than "an extra hour" depending on conditions.

 

<p>We can play it by ear.</p><p>Were going to glass beach, and then we can look at traffic and decide from there.</p>

 

Having followed a Tundra doing 20 under the posted limit for hours on 1 before having a chance to get by (and then only breaking a bunch of traffic laws to get past a line of traffic), I'd give yourself lots of extra time.

Also, it's a 1 lane road, looking at traffic doesn't tell you the whole story. All it takes is one guy pulling out of a diner along the highway and then never using pullouts to toss a wrench in the works.

That said, just leave early. It's one of the most epic roads out there, whether you want to go fast or just see beautiful seasides for hours. CA1 was an influencing factor in moving here.

 

<p>Lol, thanks.</p><p>I don't think we really have a time limit. Just general ideas.</p>

 

If you're not already burnt out by the time you get to San Francisco, this is a good twisty mountain road way to get to Laguna Seca. I take the Exocet up here at least once or twice a month for fun.

<p>Were stayin in san francisco on thursday night. So that will be perfect to get there friday morning.</p><p>G. You gonna tour guide for us?</p>

 

<p>Lul, I drove that road to santa cruz in my tahoe back when i was dating a girl that went to santa clara.</p>

 

How have I gone my entire life and not driven this?

In SF? I know nothing other than touristy things is SF. I'm like the most boring man in the world. :(

 

<p>No, monterey. Were only in san fran for a night.</p>

 

<p>I am planning on eating at House of Nankang on Thursday night when we arrive in San Fran. Best chinese food I've ever had. So good.</p><p>I'm cool playing it by ear between stops. Thanks for the route suggestions gents.&nbsp;</p>

 

<p>So this happened.</p><p></p><p>We should be pretty easy to spot.</p>

 

I may have group C1/C and group B hot laps available, shortly. Figure I'll give my fellow trubo kitty lovers first dibs before I release them.

There is a very solid chance I'll be in Arizona the week before the event, returning some time on the evening of Friday the 2nd. I'm managing a huge infrastructure hardware deployment in one of our DCs that week and I have to be on-site.

With any luck I'll get a seat on the Lear so I don't have to fly commercial with the peasant rabble.

 

Sad face.

 

Seat on the jet means 55 minutes wheels up/wheels down from AZ to CA. Commercial means 6-7 hours worth of flights/layovers/TSA security theater, etc.

I'm really hoping to NOT have to fly commercial on the 2nd.

 

Well, even without a Miata, I'm still making an appearance. Well, that's not entirely correct; I'll be co-driving mini-me with Mike H. If anyone wants to stop by, Mike and I will have an RV for the event, probably @ space 36 (looking over turn 5) and we'll be BBQ'ing Friday night. Come by, throw some meat on the fire and hang out.

 

<p>isn't the event hosting a free BBQ friday night?</p>
