If we end up driving around Sac, we can BBQ at my place afterwards.For those concerned with drinking and driving, the V. Sattui winery has a huge picnic area and we can spend a lot of time there eating and hanging out before taking the drive back home. My only real concern about the Napa drive is the traffic on Memorial Day Weekend. The Berryessa roads will be clogged up with trucks towing boats and the Napa area will be clogged with tourists.
Something to think about...

If we do Napa, there's a guy at a winery right down from Chandon called "Napa Cellars" that has a black STi:
He was a really nice guy. Loved my BAIC t-shirt and as a result appeared to have a very heavy hand

Not that this is at all related, but aparently someone who works at the Roseville Chili's owns a black STi like that as well. Ive seen the car parked like in the last parking spot as close as he can get to the curb 
I wonder whose it is?

Anyways, what I'm most concerned about is people trying to drive faster than they are safely capable of. What I personally am looking forward to is a jaunt around the backroads with the likes of Lance, Mike, Alan, etc.- people who I know for a fact will want to go faster than the law allows, but not faster than their skill does. That being the case, driving it alone is not safer than going in a group of equally (or greater) skilled friends. Now, if the purpose of the drive is to be somwhere, not just the getting there, than come one come all. Mt. Hammy meets are a prime example of that.

And another - no drives on one laned roads ...
But ultimately, everyone is responsible for their own safety. You just don't want to take the nuts that end up take everyone else out along with them :P

And for the record, I am very much in favor of the Berryessa drive, with some further details about the route to be determined (I have heard that the Knox road is really crappily paved, etc.).

Egan: Is there another black wagon around town other than the one you sold with aftermarket headlights? I could have sworn I saw your car today on Cirby...
