I'm there. I say avoid HWY 1. Between Tunitas and Stage is fine, but otherwise, down in that section of HWY 1 it's either way too illegal (ie. 130+ MPH) or way too boring. I'm not a fan of high speeds sweeps. Gimee some nice tight low speed turns, which is Tunitas and Stage and Kings Mtn. etc.

Regarding the BBQ time...

Some of those roads get a lil crowded at mid day, so an early morning drive (meet 815 start all drivers out 9AM? with the BBQ at the end) or a late afternoon/early evening drive with the BBQ before hand would probably be best.

Another thought... BBQ's are impossible to hold into a certain time bracket... How the hell can you tell when everyone is going to be done eating and ready to drive? I personally don't think anyone should be drinking at all before driving, but you can't stop adults from bringing their own beer to a meet, so you'd have to leave time to be sure everyone had everything out of their systems before driving...

I'm just thinking and typing, but I guess I would conclude that I think an early morning-ish drive with the BBQ after would be best. I'm sure there are places in Saratoga to do this at...

Good points... this was originally going to be a private event (8 cars or so), but after thinking about it, I decided to open it up. I know these roads are not for everyone and I know the pace will be slower than it would be if it was private. But whatever... This time around it is going to be quanitity over quality (of the drive). On the same note, I can be a bit more sure whats happening when it is a private event. It would be less structured, etc. So having the bbq before the drive was an option. Now it is obvious that the BBQ needs to be after.

Damn techies...

First he puts up an RFC about a driving event, now he's making us pass an ID10T test by subscribing to a mailing list.

Are you going to sell my information to the highest bidder Dave?! You bastard!
