hahahahha good one

 

Will this be primarily flat dirt/gravel roads...or hill climbing/exploring?

I dont give a ***** about my paint, but I dont want to worry about getting stuck or breaking anything.

I went to hollister in my wrx when it was stock ride height(lots of fun!) but I would never go back now with my prodrive springs.

Let me know

 

man, i wanna go, the last time i went on a drive with rich was back in 2003
but i don't have my subie anymore

 

there are some flat parts. but there will be plenty of up and over large hills. lots of twisties, some large gravel, possibly a river crossing or two (depending on road conditions). i'll really have to get out there to see what everything looks like.

check back next week for more information.

man sorry to hear that. this drive is going to be 'epic' compared to that one.

p.s. (i may be willing to take along a co-pilot if you are interested.)

 

tks for the tip

 

Hey Rich,

The drive sounds great.

The 1st rallycross is June 11th so if it ends in clear lake we can just head over from there (the rallyschool is June 10th)

damn. i had no idea that this would be happening the same weekend. i may have to bump it up to the 3rd instead.
but just so you know, the far point of the drive comes out on "bear valley rd" on route 20. which is very close to the Williams area.

still it's nice to hear from you. tell crystal i say "hi"

Sounds good. I love that area.

There is an uphill section by Bartlett springs that has a nice red dirt base with some ball bearing like pebbles. Traction is awesome with just the right amount of slide

i was planning the scouting tomorrow (saturday) but with the rain etc... i may wait till next weekend. plus if huck is having a birthday party i want to be there

-rich

 

well, i DID go on the scouting trip after all today (saturday) and the roads are ready for us. there are some scatchy areas which i have took the time to mark out the mileage of there locations.

i do not recommend this drive to anyone that is much lower than stock. there are some very bad places where unless you have a skid plate onder the car you my destroy your oil pan etc...

tomorrow i will start a new thread with all the infomation and the route. as well as a list of the hopefuls

-rich

 

pretty much figured that :P

too bad my R compounds don't like dirt

 

hmmm.....

 

i wonder if my DD corolla can handle it.

 

well sorry to hear tjat Max. don't you have a set of winter 'all weather' tires laying around. or do a ride along. i'd love to have you come with us.
