sounds fun. i crashed my car and picked up a rwd supra and hopefuly pick up a 240 soon. ill hit you up if me and my team ever head down that far

 

Damn Travis those are some nice pics. I'm going to the autobacs meet this Sat. Maybe I can meet up next week like at 1:30 (can't do any earlier sparring trianing every Sat.).

 

seems interesting. hows the road conditions? my cars kinda slammed in the front lol

well, it's good enough for ferrari's and lambos so im pretty sure you'll be alright. topanga canyon blvd got re-paved with that recycled-tires asphault so it's the best road quality there is. stunt road, kinda sketch, but old topanga and mulholland are pretty damn good.

 

cool, well im down.. ill pm u or somethin sometime and set something up hopefully

 

man i'd love to go. it's kinda far but it looks way worth it. cant this weekend but hopefully soon

 

haven't gotten any PMs about anyone going tomorrow yet so as of now i'll be going early. i'll have email (iphone) access up there so you can email me:

speakwithauthority@yahoo.com

or reply to this post (emailed notified of replies) if you wake up tomorrow and decide you wanna go and just send me your number. or if you want to meet me on PCH and follow me up the canyon that can work too.

cheers!

 

I would be pretty down tomorrow. Around what time do you estimate you would be going up the canyon? I am in LA its pretty close right?

Hopefully I can grab a few friends to go too since we have all be wanting to go to the beach and roads around there.

CHEEERS! lol

 

here's today's pictures, ill post the ones of me as soon as they're up. comments welcome, so are more integras

more integras are welcome any time. there was a crew of about 20 civics up there that im sure a t-i crew would give a run for their money.

 

dang..this looks fun..anyone else down to roll with me to this?

 

whats up man!!

Hey, I saw ur post to go to the canyon meets, I never been but I'm down, I have a da clean, so if ur interested in rolling with me let me know, I'm new to cal so I wanna meet Honda owners

 

damn thats far for me but definitely willing to go check it out realatively soon, just gotta fix a couple of things first

 

ill post the pictures of me tomorrow soon in the lower apex turn.

there was a 150 smart car rally, this weekend, and apparently no accidents.

 

That tree is nothin compared to the one at the dragon based on the pics I've seen lol.

Its still a very sober reminder to keep yourself within in your skill limit, though.

 

oh that thing gets cleaned up several times a year, that's just the last few weeks. topanga counts as national park so rangers come by and trash it if they think it's outta control.

 

Hey Travis, how long is the run going at speed limit?

 

um... about 45 mins from pch to the top.

 

that is awesome. what time do you go on saturdays? do you go on any other days?

 

^ x2

That looks like a fun road.

I do Ortega Highway a couple times a month. It gets a little crowded though sometimes. And the last time I went out a couple weeks ago, they were doing road work - stopping traffic on both sides for 10-15 minutes at a time so they could carve rumble strips into the center line on the Riverside County section.

it really depends on how well my friday night went! haha. i am trying to get my 8 hour shift off on sundays or at least half of it covered so i can go for the afternoon session on sunday but as of right now i just go on saturday mornings, earlier the better, stay until 3p then a mad dash for work.

yeah, i grew up in temecula and went to school in riverside, had a lot of buddies do ortega all the time and for some that road was quite literally a death trap, i think this is a much less stressful run, but hit me up this saturday and see for yourself.

like ive said before, just because i go up there at 7-8am on a saturday doesnt mean you have to. im happy to meet up with people on PCH at 10, 11, 12 whatever. just know that the later you go the more sloOb's there will be.

post here or PM me and we can text if you wanna run. cheers!

Yea - same thing with Ortega - the earlier, the better. They have done a lot of improvements to it over the last couple of years. Sections of it have been widened with walls put up where people used to go over the side. So it's less of a "death trap" now, but still plenty dangerous if you push too hard.

 

yeah, as is any public road. this one in particular has a lot of motorcycles (that's what the rock store is famous for) and cars are really just starting to get the idea. GTR's and Ariel Atoms, ferraris, lambos, evos, STIs, porches, Mseries beemers.... all on the same road as dudes with 10 speeds.

this is why we stand at the apex on sundays at yell at people to stay in their lanes.

and the roads up here are being improved too, topanga canyon blvd was just repaved with that recycled-tire asphault but they've yet to get to stunt or some other roads. mulholland is in pretty darn good condition after a recent repave too.

 

welp. any weekend will do!

 

Friday is no good for me. But I could possible swing Sunday.

 

im trying to get my sunday afternoon shifts covered (i work 10-6 on sundays) because that really is the best time to be up there, until then, i'm only able to go up between the wee hours of the morning on sat until 3pm.

 

I think people need a few weeks to get the day off / plan for this early morning run lol.. so im going to set the next official date for April 11th. That should be enough leeway for everyone to adjust their schedules and get the day off of work or whatever.
this is about an hour from me. id be down to go on a saturday, but the problem is getting other members to be down to wake up at 7 AM for this lol.. . Any other members that would like to set up a caravan down to this on a saturday lets get it going.

1)Chsimok818 pre meet
2)flux818 pre meet
