I heard a pretty loud screech during the drive. Is that what that was?

Early SW20 didn't have ABS... I know my 1992 SW20 didn't.

No I don't think that was it. It was a blind right hand corner with a stop sign that came out of no where. Everyone broke sort of hard for it. I'm not surprised it caught someone off guard but that's why it's important to keep some space!

I was going to head up to Vallejo Saturday to see my mother, I may join and then branch off towards there after. Looks like a fun ride.

just an FYI, but a good number of us will be up at Thunderhill this weekend for 86CUP both Sat and Sunday. If anyone is free over the weekend and interested in joining us up there, all are welcome. 86driver or not, track driver or not, it's all a lot of fun.

What's the schedule like?
If the drive isn't too long and early, I may come by and join as a spectator (I hear its free!)

I'd suggest ya'll meet in Santa Cruz as Avaya Stadium is going to open up for the first Earthquakes game on Sunday. They sold out the stadium so there will be a ton of cars on the road at that time in the SJ area and heading to SJ.

I took the day off and decided to go for a drive toward the coast. I hit up highway 84 and took La Honda all the way down to the coast where I stopped at San Gregorio State Beach.

The roads were wet after last night's rains so I took it easy after getting sideways a couple of times. My MPSS performed very well in the wet for what it's worth.

Anyway, here are some pictures!

Be honest, you painted the graffiti in that last shot, didn't you??!
