SoCal 86 Mulholland Cruise (again :D )

[Kevinmp7]

Ok, so the last Mulholland cruise was not really organized so I'm thinking of getting another meetup going but this time with just the 86 family. Feel free to throw in some dates and times to schedule it. I'm thinking of doing the cruise on a Sunday but all suggestions are welcomed. Lets see if we can get a well planned cruise going.

If you last meet was like the ones I have attended (other car forums), you'll need people who can guide the others who will eventually fall behind and form fragmented groups.

-Walkie talkies for the lead car, someone in the middle, and someone in the back

-A spot to park and let everyone catch up...depending on the amount of cars that attend, this may be hard to find

-Lead driver that isn't going to just blow through the corners and leave everyone behind. The last drive I did in that area resulted in someone crashing and breaking a wheel. The lead driver just drove at the limits of his tires, people tried to keep up, someone crashed and the next 4 hours were people standing around waiting for him to get another wheel from a buddies house. My brake fluid felt like it had already boiled over after 4 minutes of driving in the mountain summer heat

-Tell everyone to gas up BEFORE getting the meet location. Its hard to get 10+ cars in a small gas station and then trying to get them all back on the same route is near impossible and pretty dangerous.

-Check with people to see if they have even driven the area before. Way too many corners that can catch people out if they're driving at a pace they aren't comfortable with.

Just some advice from the few times I've been to a ride along like this. Be safe out there and don't end up on one of the youtube videos of people running off the road.

Completely agree! The last cruise started out at a good pace but then people fell behind and by the end it was just the leader, me and then two other drivers out of a group of maybe a dozen. The leader was a rally driver so he just flew through the canyon and left everyone behind...
