BTW, I started a thread on the topic I brought up at lunch. The painball/canyon run. Here's the link.

Pass the word, and let's see who is interested.

Great run guys. Special thanks to Pat for setting this up! Good to see everyone again and meet some new ppl.

Our "bonus" run after lunch was a great time also! Those roads are fast.

 

Yes, I was following you guys. Leaving Mickey D's, some went right and I thought those were the ones not coming to lunch. Those leaving behind Audio Pat I took for granted were going. I got caught at the stop for a spell, everyone else took off, and I followed you guys assuming......my fault. And with everyone else gone already, I didn't see where they all got off until it was too late. Went back around, but no one was there, so I went home.

This was my 4th or 5th run, but somehow, something always happens to me. It just sucks, and discourages me from going again.

As the sole female Z runner/driver, I think I do a pretty good job keeping up, let alone running with the big boys.....! Thanx again guys for a great day, and thanx again to Pat for another wonderful run. Too bad Jed Clampet and his damn rocking chair held us up too......

 

looks like a good turn out and you guys had a great time. Too bad i had to miss it, I couldnt pull myself out of bed, I was so drained from work the week before I needed saturday to recover.

 

I was wondering where you were on this run since we did the Angeles run. Wow 2 runs in a month has drained me.

 

2 runs in a month? hell I was up in Malibu again this afternoon, it was a blast! I think I have had a run everyweekend except one. Only thing is I"m going to need brake pads soon.

 

yea i even when home early friday night to try to make it out, but in the end my body just wasnt up to it.

 

Thanks Pat for planning things out and to Clint for the huge pre-meet meet; ~16 Zs, 1 nice S2K, and 1 fast 300ZX on a single lane convoy along 405 N is simply sick, making a couple of C5s, M3, and Sxx AMG a little envious; each engaged in an attempt to instigate a street race.

I was right 'bout calling you the canyon man. But hey now I know what's the big fuss. The Santiago Cyn run after the Dim Sum meet was cool and all but this run was great. I'm still riding the adrenaline 'til now and can't wait for the next one.

It is unfortunate that Jen veered off course but I think that this issue can be addressed provided that we develop an organized and systematic method of carrying out a huge convoy. I'm sure it can be done with everyone's input and willingness to cooperate.

BTW, does anybody know the guy with the blue roadster dropped on some springs with pending tokico shocks installation? He is very skilled and could not keep up with him on certain twists and perhaps I'm a cyn newbie.

 

n10zt.. i brought your heat sheild to the run, but i didnt know who you were! haha.. and i left early after i got lost/ditched.

 

looks like it was a great run!

 

thanks LBC TRD, lol yeah I was fortunate enough to have followed someone who knew the way. I tried to call you though but did not leave a message on your vmail.

 

Didnt mean to ditch ya! on our 3 Z mini run

I had planned all along to leave at 11:30 for LAX.

We just happened to be lost and in the middle of Bubba **** at 11:30.

It was fun though. Hitting speeds you couldnt hit when there is a Z in front and behind you.

your nav came in handy.

Catch ya next time.

 

Hey You were looking real smooth / DB front end looking good / Agressive in the rear view mirror..

I'd canyon run with you again... You can lead...

Diablo - enjoyed going way too fast on the straight to make the turn with you..

No biggie - after I was clear and new Sylmar my pager went off
with a downed server... I was in the data center in 15 minutes of call... If I were home in Orange County it would have been at least 1+1/2 hours on a saturday..

I got my fun - Quietly smoking a cigarette - eyelids closing...

Cheers Amy -

 

amy, el diablo.. no hard feelings at all! i had fun regardless i wish you guys woulda kept with it because then i found the right street i got to do it by myself and thats where the fun began... and eventually met up w/ the rest and went home.. my freind in the S2000 said to tell you guys thanks, he had a blast and hoped you didnt mind he went.. i mean after all he is SC/NOS.. haha! Let's plan another one.. i know Zman23 and Noel are down.

 

Thanks for the compliment. I've been racing cars and teaching high-performance driving for over a decade, so I do have a bit of experience upon which to draw. And the Roadster I've got really handles nicely, too. You'll have to attend one of the upcoming Buttonwillow Performance Driving Clinics, and we'll spend some time playing on the track. The next two are Sunday, July 25 and Saturday, August 21.

 

I knew I should have let Scott lead

 

Ahhh that's explains it, I was questioning my cyn driving skills and bone stock car.

I wanted to ask for your help in improving my performance driving skills but you were a step ahead. I can't make it on the 25th but I will plan on attending the August or December one.

Someone needs to start a thread for the August 21th session or I will.

LBC TRD

Props to your friend's tight S2K. I didn't see him run but I bet he can take those twisties pretty darn fast.

 

Eric if you go then i'll go with you....

 

Man, sorry I missed this run!

I was driving back from Vegas, and did not get ito LA until 1PM...

I will be at the next one...

 

Yah it was fun Jeff maybe next time....Ed
