- IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ---
Any large group of cars gathering and driving brings with it some inherent risk. The organizers would like to do whatever they can to minimize that risk. Part of that is asking for each and every one of you to do your part to make it a safe and fun event.
PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. Consider not drinking if you intend to go on the drive, or at a minimum stop drinking at least 2 hours before we leave. Assume the worst - what if a police checkpoint is waiting for us right outside the park?
SHOW RESPECT. No burnouts, no obnoxious behavior, no reckless driving. There will be families and children in the area, don't do anything you would be embarrassed to do in front of your grandmother, your boss, or a police officer (whichever one you respect more).
Make sure you have at least 1/2 tank of gas before starting the cruise! The route is about 70 miles with no gas stations along the way.
Please DRIVE SAFELY. Watch for oncoming traffic at all times. Watch for bicyclists, other vehicles, pedestrians and animals, and give them space. Be courteous and patient with other fellow drivers and cyclists.
This road is dangerous! People have died or been seriously injured driving this road.
Think of this as a group parade/cruise. This is not a race! There will be a mix of varying levels of driving experience/ability participating in this drive. If we observe any unsafe driving we will ask the offending driver to leave and possibly ban them from participation in any future events.
The road has a few blind spots and narrow turns that needs to be taken slowly due to proximity to cliffs and oncoming traffic. You or the car in front of you might have to stop immediately or with little warning. Please no tailgating, leave several car lengths between you and the car in front of you during the drive and be prepared to slow down!
We are cruising, not racing! Let's not create a bad name for our group by being one of those rude, reckless and dangerous car clubs. The last thing we want to see is people getting hurt or vehicles getting wrecked. Both happen on a regular basis on this road, and these rules exist to keep it from being YOU or one of us.
Thanks for reading, and helping us to make this a great event.
