Already signed up and paid for that event and the one at Laguna.

Quick question on Laguna, I'm slightly worried about my exhaust being to loud, did you notice a problem when you went?

There was an E30 next to me in the paddock that got black flagged for being too loud. Even though he was convinced it wasn't his car that went over 92db (measured between turns 5 & 6) he aimed the tip of his exhaust to the right away from the measuring equipment and didn't have a problem after that.

I don't think your car will have a problem, but your exhaust might have changed since I saw it last.

For those of us that drive 1-2 hours to get to Santa Rosa, Post #21 sounds like a long day. 100 miles or less would be better. Something over to the coast would be nice though. :-)

there's a road that goes from san jose up the hills, then end up in patternson off I-5.

normally, the 4wd club i belong to, we take I-5 then head west to a park called FRANK RAINES OHV.

but to get there, from I-5 is around 17 miles of 2 lanes of twisty hell on my truck. lol.

and the park is between san jose and patterson so that's only half of the fun. i think from san jose, you head up towards mt hamilton but you keep going on that road, heading east. you keep climbing, then over the hills and start heading down towards patterson and I-5...

and then if you dont wanna drive home via I-5... just go back the same way you came from and back home to san jose...

my mapping s/w says HWY 130 from san jose...

I think this drive needs to stay far north of the bay; but I say this for selfish reasons.

As for mods, I’m still trying to get to the target boost on my new AP 2.0, keep maxing at 15.3. But it looks like I won’t have the money in time to upgrade my brakes or suspension. Well, I have been on 6 i-club drives on mostly stock equipment, so I can do it one more time.

I think we should do the run we did last time out 128. It might be a bit too far.. But another route could be out Skaggs road and head north up Higway 1 and stop at the beach we stopped at.. It was a pretty cool place and plenty of space..

I drove out Skaggs and man it was fun.. Took a turn off it though and headed down Tin Barn Road.. Bet nobody knew that there is a huge Buddhist temple out there and I mean huge..

I purpose the tun should be up Skaggs and north on Highway 1.. And if people want we could head back via 128 and then south on 101 for a quick exit for those of you heading south..

Any takers on this.. Dustin you on for a drive on Sunday, if the weather is good could be up for a short run, anybody else..
