April was good, we had about 16 Miatas at the meet, and 5 of us went for a drive afterwards (had 2 non Miatas join us as well)
Date: 5/27/2012
Time: We will leave the meet around 10-10:15 when the meet is over.
This will allow for folks to gather in one spot of the parking lot to leave together. This drive is going to be a cruise, not a speed run. Some of the guys at our Camarillo meet expressed interest, but not if it was a speed run. This run is for you! Projected route is the same as April, except we will end at Neptune's net for lunch. Total route time will be approx 2 hours, according to mapquest at any rate. I will have printouts of the route at the meet for those who want to drive. After losing someone in traffic at the start, last time, I have learned my lesson, LOL. If enough folks want to have Lunch at Island Burgers on Kanan, instead of Neptune's Net, we could do that instead. We can decide at the overlook of the Snake.

Corner of Erwin and Topanga Canyon in Woodland Hills. North of the 101 about a half mile. Unless you're blind or stupid, it's difficult to miss.


Afterwards the route is as follows...

Topanga south to Mulholland Drive west to Mulholland Highway south.

Okay enough north/south bullshit. Pay attention because this is where EVERYONE fucks it up, once you pass Old Topanga Canyon Road you go about two and a half miles and at the end of a rather long downhill stretch with a 55 mph speed limit, you'll need to make a LEFT about 100 yards from a blind corner on a road with a 55 mph speed limit...

I know why it's called Stunt Road.

You'll need to look for a 'T' intersection sign on the right and your next left is Stunt Road.

Please be polite when cruising the first ¼ mile of this road as it is residential, once you pass the last home on the left into a right hand sweeper, GO! There are a few more homes on this road but no blind driveways.

Stunt will eventually end at Saddle Peak Road/Schuerin Road, here you go LEFT onto Saddle Peak. Drive safely as there are homes along this road although there are a couple of nice sections where you can max out the speed limit which I believe is 45 mph

:whistle:

This road will lead you to another T intersection at Tuna Canyon Road where you will want to make a RIGHT turn, this piece of road is single track with homes on both sides at times and is full of blind corners, please drive accordingly for your surroundings. About two miles in you will come to a gate, this is where the fun begins, the road narrows and begins to drop at an alarming rate BUT it is now a one way street headed towards the ocean. I am not responsible for any of you piling it up into the wall/sailing over the cliff. This road is steep, narrow and very tight and can make your brakes smoke quite easily. You have been warned.

Once you get to the canyon floor it's a rough ass road out to P.C.H. and I mean rough, I'm sure it's neglected on purpose however the top 7/8ths are awesome fun.

So from there you are dumped northbound Pacific Coast Highway, we ran the short route last time, it's fun but fuck that I want Latigo this time, a good ten miles up the Coast Highway but unfortunately on the wrong side, oh well. Making the RIGHT onto Latigo Canyon Road, it climbs mainly up hill back towards the valley with the occasional plunge into the depths of the canyon before depositing you onto Kanan Road. Making a right on Kanan to Mulholland Highway and the top of The Snake.

From The Lookout, you travel east on Mulholland Highway towards the rock store and Los Virgenes.

We can discuss more later.

Check it out on the map, it's a fun ride, even in a slow assed car like mine.

:slayer:

I had to do it man, they need to learn it before we get out there and then when anyone get lost after the first turn, I feel even less bad about it than I do now.

:p


All I can say is keep up!



I'm slow compared to Ted and Jeremy.


But then again I'm not supercharged or in an NC so...

update for Sunday! We'll be leaving after the show, so about 10:15-10:30, give the lot a little time to clear out so we can gather in one place. Not likely we'll get many together during the meet. I will have maps available for the planned route.

nope, no spot for miatas only. The only reserved section they allow is for the featured marque, ( Porsche this time) Other than that they say no saving spots. I plan on being there 7 ish.

Grumpy
05-28-2012, 08:06 PM
ROFL. No, not really a closed course, though Tuna is about as close as it gets I guess. LOL
