Sunday Sunday Sunday, I think we might end up with a mix of TSD aficienados and, well I don't like using such harsh terms, but TSD haters(?)
Because of my need to be back in Berkeley, I'd probably not be able to do the whole route at assigned speeds with pauses and all, so if there is to be a scored TSD, it'd have to only be the first 3 sections out of 4.
But that could actually work out well, if the non TSD participants can be talked into working a checkpoint or two, everybody'd still get a chance to drive all the roads, and the last section would just be a free drive.
So anyway, if you are coming out tomorrow, tell me if you do want to do some scored TSD or if you'd rather not.

YEEEAAAAH!
What a blast!
I really liked the portions of this run that were above and beyond what we did on the first TSD Rallye in Livermore.
Cows not withstanding, the road had no major obsticals. Fog made it a very interesting run and the rain allowed for some cautious slides in the turns.
Most of the run was reasonably dry, but toward the end the mist and some rain started appearing.
Finishing off at Wente Vinyards in Livermore for some wine tasting didnt hurt either
Thanks Pete for making this run a possibility. I enjoyed driving with both you and Glen. Keeping up with Pete was a challenge on the twisties, except when he was in the wrong gear.
My friend/Co-driver/Navigator had a blast even with the minor motion sickness experience. He may join me for some of the actual rallye events in the future.

well, bushido, sal and gotwrx (plus his navigational unit) all showed and we had a very fun drive!
except for coming across the coroner's van and CHP cleaning up the site of a fatal accident on Mines Rd, -a sobering reminder of how important it is to stay in your lane.
But we made it through clean, and walked away from a brace of Porsche 911's for a while at that!

and a short pause along Del Puerto Canyon Rd
for some reason, it was tough to squeeze this silly shot down to <100,000 Bytes, 99KB doesn't cut it.....
