Default Feather River Run - June 18, 2011

Photos now posted click here: https://my350z.com/forum/northern-ca...ml#post9245208







This ZONC event is open to ALL responsible drivers that would like to join ZONC on this run and have some fun.

You don’t need a Z, or be a member to participate.

I am pleased to announce our 3rd Annual: A Day in the Sierra’s. I choose the Feather River Canyon for its beauty and just an all out fun road to drive. Difficulty of driving skills: med to light. Enjoy the breathtaking scenic criss cross over the Feather River along the beautiful roads carved through the granite canyon. In all of my travels on a motorcycle and now sports car this stretch of highway is my favorite. The highway connects to other greater highways heading north, but we are keeping on a southern route this time. The road is maintained very well by Cal Trans and provides some of if not the best sweepers in the Sierra’s. This run is not a spirited run, we are out to have fun and be safe.

Come out for a Day in the Sierra’s, the route is rated one of the best roads in California.

Curtis


One of the highlights of the run! We plan to get a group shot crossing the bridge.




Oroville Dam

I have some confirmations of some overnighters.

You will miss out on some good ribs.

Same here, will probably be back by 9:30 pm.

Yep, I will be arranging to spend the night on this years Summer's End Run.

My apologies guys, for moving posts from one thread to another. I have a request in with a mod to delete the OTHER Thread.

Working on it lunch and dinner menus. Hope to have up soon. Check out last years thread, same menu, new prices for lunch.

Had a slammed 240SX last year on the run and no problems. If you are on coilovers and can adjust up I would recommend just to be on the safe side. The road is very very smooth and I have not even come close to bottoming out and I am at 1.3" lowered from stock.

Hey Curtis just got your text. I know you have me on the list, but just wanted to make sure I'm on the RSVP for Lunch & Dinner. Also, can you give any idea on approx. cost for both so I have enough cash since you mentioned cash is a must on this trip?
