I don't normally discourage people from joining us, but this particular road, might just be ... Dun dun dun... the SECOND MOST DANGEROUS ROAD IN CALIFORNIA.

If you have concerns about:
-tire rubbing or ability to turn your steering full lock
-scraping or bottoming out
-reliability of your tires or brakes
-nausea or motion sickness
-getting rock chips or other cosmetic damage

then you might be better off just meeting up with us at the Mall.

Note, however, the 86DRIVE Stars will only be given out to those who join us on the drive -- and safely complete the drive.

Thank you, drive safely.

Interesting you say that , what would you consider first :o ?

LOL it's kind of a running joke, that maybe only a few old-timers still get. Last spring we did a drive, that I called, Last Chance to Drive The Most Dangerous Road in California. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31663

It was a bit over-exaggerated but it was catchy and it helped us drum up a pretty decent attendance for the drive haha. And the Devil's Slide has now closed and was replaced by the far safer (but boring) Lantos Tunnels.

So... perhaps 2nd Most Dangerous is also an exaggeration for Mt. Hamilton, but at least this article puts it as #5 most dangerous in the Bay Area:

Yea definitely miss that road ! (Probably try biking it since there is now a trail instead)

Although the acoustics driving really fast through that tunnel at 1am are great


Anyway , how long is the meet for on Saturday ?

Here's some head (shots) for you instead.









There was no shortage of 86DRIVERS wanting to get out there and have some fun in their cars this past Saturday. I counted at least 18 cars that joined us for the early morning ascent to the Lick Observatory atop Mt. Hamilton, and then several more cars joined us at the meeting point at Eastridge Mall in San Jose. It was a fun little drive though we saw quite a few cyclists making the climb perhaps due to the long holiday weekend. I’m always a little worried when we take a large group up there and we need to always keep safety as a priority on these drives.
Thanks a bunch to Tricia and Josh who brought donuts to share, and to Qui who made a food run to grab us some delicious egg rolls after the drive! I had to head home before long but I heard some of the group went into the mall for some seafood buffet action… hope that was enjoyable too!

More photos from the DRIVE and meet, are now up on 86DRIVE.
