Ahhhh, that's right! The 25th is the Sac86 drive so probably not going to be able to come up then but maybe the 26th.

Is there a drive tomorrow?

I will be there not in my car but the team I work for. Now that I just got into a brz I will walk around and see what people are doing to their cars.

It's been a year since my inaugural ride from up and down Mt. Hamilton in my new ride. I remember getting excited when the tail kicked out just once, and TC kicked in!

I just came back from a sick ride one year later, with camber, sticky RS3s, Vortech SC...night and day. Let's say I discovered throttle steering!

Does anyone know where there are any other roads in Norcal, where the 180 degree Mines Road, crazy cambered turns, are more numerous? There's probably 7 or 10 of these turns on the Mines Rd. from Mt. Hamilton down to Livermore (over 50 miles...so more crazy turns per mile)

Kind of a gave me the urge to go session those turns...only 4 cars, one mc going the opposite direction on the mid-afternoon mid-week 86DRIVE

Wow sounds fun! I'm coming from San Francisco, so is there anyone in the area who wants to drive up together?

Oh, and just meet us on the side of the road off the freeway. There should one other FRS there waiting.

I'm planning on doing that too. Too big of a detour to go to Stockton and back down to Del Puerto.
