Hello Everyone,

The 3rd Red Bluff Run will take place on November 25, 2007 at 7:00 am. I'm sorry about all of the confusion with the date change. The original date was the previous weekend. However, it came to my attention that there was a conflict with a CENLA event. So, in an attempt to accomodate more drivers, the date of the 3rd run will be November 25. Unless the weather doesn't cooperate, this date is SET IN STONE!

Red Bluff is an EXTREMELY CHALLENGING ROAD! This is a rally/run and not a race. OBEY ALL LAWS! Stay in your LANE; don’t cross the line, try to pass, or push a slower driver in front of you. There are over 60 turns, hard drops and hills, most are blind. There is no shoulder and few places to pull off. If you can’t drive safely, STAY HOME! If you decide to participate, you and your passengers do so at your own risk and accept all liability for your actions and the actions of others both involved and not involved. Do not attempt it if you are unfamiliar with its hazards. Make sure your car is road ready. Don't forget your AAA card.

I would encourage everyone to check out these three videos to get an idea of what the bluffs are like. That first blind drop into a left hand corner is just waiting for someone with more horsepower than self restraint (or brakes.)

The 3rd rally would primarily follow the same format as the 2nd rally. Hopefully we will be able to work out all of the complaints from the last run.


This was from autoxforum.
Who's ready?

 

damn that sounds fun.. but im too inexperinced in a car tho i have tons of experience on a bike. Would it be cool if i bring a bike along?

 

With 100% chance of rain in the forecast, when are you guys going to reshedule this run? Keep us posted.

 

I didn't even look at the weather forecast. I probably won't go if it's going to rain.

 

I guess this is canceled?
