Just ran Palomares myself this morning. Much the same as it was before. The bridge they were working on was so short, and now has a small mid-corner bump. Still a but of gravel and dirt on the road so be careful!

Great to meet everyone. I had to jet before the run down Pinehurst. Here's a photo from the turnaround spot in Sunol.

My video from the drive... The Burz was hogging all the camera time LOL, next time I do the rear-facing GoPro maybe we'll make more of an effort to cycle through cars in the chase view for some variety.

I was thinking about that as we were driving back up Palomares, maybe I should've let someone else go in front.

You should do it if you come down! Saturday is packed for me. Sunday I was gonna try to wash the car since it's been over a year!
Plus, my rear tires are at the wear bars. New tires Monday!

Christmas Morning Drive
I couldn't resist the opportunity for a Sunday (Christmas) morning drive to Mt. Hamilton. It was clear, cold and best of all, no traffic.
