TCL SoCal: GMR drive this Sunday July 8th. Who's in?

[greatfox]

SoCal TCL crew presents Summer GMR run 2012!!! This event will take place Sunday July 8th, 2012

We will be starting at In-n-Out Burger in Glendora at 10:00 AM (meet up, talk, check out each other's cars, make fun of each other, etc.). We will probably roll out sometime around 10:30 AM. The route will take us up Glendora Mountain Road, crossing over East to Glendora Ridge Road, and then on up to Baldy for a nice scenic view and lunch at the Buckhorn Lodge and Restaurant (MMMmmmm, BBQ!): http://buckhornlodgemtbaldy.com/

Finally, once we've had our fill which hopefully will be sometime around 1:30, we will head back down Mt. Baldy Road where we will all meet up at "The Hat" restaurant. Just in case you didn't get enough food. There we can bicker, berate, banter, bash, and beleaguer each other to our collective heart's content. Let's plan to disperse sometime around 2:30-3:00
.

Here is a map of the route we plan to take:

Just a reminder: Please don't jeopardize everyone's safety by being a fool on this road. It is dangerous, and there are many blind corners. The last thing we need is for someone to get killed, injured, or have his/her car wrecked. I don't care if you're Tanner F*cking Foust, we don't need anyone to prove who is the best driver out there. We all like to have fun, and I know we will.... just please keep your wits about you, and be responsible.

I'm in so long as I don't have to sit behind someone's Corolla (having seen the pics from the last SoCal G2G ).

Here's mine:

[VadGTI]

Try??? TRY?!?!?

There was a time in my youth when I pretty much lived at GMR .

Bottomest-left corner... View it, please (enlarge the image by looking at link directly ):

[SVT2888]

I know GMR...

[bwk]

Vadgti was the gmr monster people would warn you about in the early 2000's. I remember gmr being off-limits to running as there was a heavy police presence. Did things cool down? Is it run-able now?

[genjy]

I might go depending on when. I've been itching to take the Volvo C30 up for a while.

I personally feel it's more fun going up GMR and then coming back down through San Gabriel Canyon Rd or Mt Baldy Rd.

Going down GMR is too dorifto for me.

[DCubed]

Looks like fun...

We can decide on the actual route later, but I see what you mean.

[importrule]

it's really not that bad going down gmr.... i personally prefer going down on gmr because gravity will do most work going down on gmr.

[dub*man]

I'll try to make it out!

Derek, are you planning on going?

[greatfox]

So does that mean you're in, or are we gonna hear some excuses?

Whatever the crowd wants--I've done those roads all sorts of ways.

[greatfox]

Derek, are you planning on going?

You taking your Touareg?

[phryxis]

You ever cut across the ravine in a semi-flight, kinda like Jason did here in 2001ish ?

I'll first do a kamikaze run as a diversion.

[DCubed]

Derek, are you planning on going?

Possibly, depends on the date/time and if work will cooperate. The question is do I bring the wifes GLK or my C

[Lwize]

When, and will there be pastrami involved?

[PsyberVW]

when? I may have a free weekend or two coming up soon. Would bring Miata if it gets new shoes by then. Otherwise, it'll be return of the bro-dozer. I could block traffic from coming up behind us...

[PsyberVW]

When, and will there be pastrami involved?

In the past, I've gone with clubs that would drive to a destination for a picnic/bbq/potluck. That's always fun.

Like from OC over Ortega Hwy to Lake Elsinore (destination). Then back...

[genjy]

When, and will there be pastrami involved?

In Glendora, there's a The Hat on Route 66 near Citrus College.

[dub*man]

You taking your Touareg?

Only if we drive up and down the side of the mountain.
I'd be taking the Golf




This thread reminds... PCA autocross at El Toro airfield on June 10th! I'll be making a thread now.

[what]

GMR is boring.

If I attend it'll be in the GTI. My secretary VadS60r has the pictures.

Me and my gas guzzler are in.
