Angeles Crest Part II - June 12, 2011

Back by popular demand.

Same schedule as last time, only this time we'll send a spotter car up first to make sure the CHP isn't nabbing people for no front plate. IF YOU HAVE A WALKIE TALKIE, BRING IT SO WE CAN COMMUNICATE AND HALF THE GROUP DOESN'T THINK THE ROAD IS CLOSED!

Here is the schedule:

The plan is to meet up at Vons in Tujunga at 11:45a.m. The address is:

7789 Foothill Blvd
Tujunga, CA 91042

We'll leave the lot at 12:30p.m.

Here is the route.

Twenty of us went the entire way last month, and the drive is incredible!

Here is a link to the original thread.

Only while driving my brother's car. The CHP pulled me over on an offramp on the 10 freeway, just west of the 57 interchange.

Change of plans. I can't edit the OP, so here is the new plan:

Back by popular demand.

Same time schedule as last time, only this time we'll send a spotter car up first to make sure the fuzz isn't busting people for no front plate. IF YOU HAVE A WALKIE TALKIE, BRING IT SO WE CAN COMMUNICATE AND HALF THE GROUP DOESN'T THINK THE ROAD IS CLOSED!

Here is the schedule:

The plan is to meet up at Vons in La Canada at 11:45a.m. The address is:

635 W Foothill Blvd
La Canada, CA 91011

We'll leave the lot at 12:30p.m.

Here is the new route.

After the drive we're heading to Fuddruckers at Ontario Mills for lunch. We should arrive between 3:00p.m. and 3:30p.m.

The road is freshly paved and the drive is incredible:


See you all Sunday!

We had about 60 cars before confusion set in. I would imagine we'll be somewhere in that range this time too

They are some on the motorgen site. The drive was pretty cool considering that there were over thirty cars in the middle of the day. Kudos Sean, your buddy that covered the event flawlessly.

^ I want to see your video.
Aristo: did you slow down in time when I warned you or did you get pulled over by the cop?

Hey Travis...thanks for saving my tail. I got your warning loud and clear and slowed down before coming around the next turn into the sight of the cops.
