Mines Rd expedition
Sunday Glen and I set out to Mines Rd. for a little backroad expedition. It was great. Beautiful day, not too crowded and a whole lot of fun. I just wish some people would of turned out for it. Next time im going to be sure to record it so you guys can see what its like. Next we go up some of you serious drivers should join. Also if anyone else gets together a back road race let me know they are always alot of fun -Todd-

I love mines rd., right out my back door, and a great road. Last time me and Dorifto got stopped by a rancher hauling his ****ing cows down the road, subsequently leaving **** all over the fender well, still a great drive despite the stink afterwards:banana:

Yea i gotta talk to Glen about what are better times to go up and have the roads be decently clear. Most "normal" drivers are good about pulling over and letting the racers go by. The road etiquette up there ive noticed to be very good amongest drivers.

They don't want you to ht them, and knock them over the cliff.
Try it at night. That's most of the time i drive it.

I wanna go! Every time I set aside time to go up there, my wife hands me the dreaded "honey-do" list.
My buddy just ran in from S.J. to Livermore Monday afternoon in his VR6 Golf and had a blast.
Maybe this Sunday morning?
