Cruise the Crest Breakfast Club Jan. 18 2009

[CarlC]

Come one, come all to the first Cruise the Crest Breakfast club outting of 2009.

Angeles Crest Highway to Newcomb's Ranch if weather and road conditions allow, or PCH/Paradise cove as an alternate.

Let's hear it......

[6'9"Witha69]

Aye!

[Chad-1stGen]

Reading your sig Nick, I'm not gonna lie, that smells like straight up gasoline

[b-man]

Some of the nicest canyon roads you've ever seen lead to Newcomb's Ranch. Nary a pothole in any of them.

Link to a thread featuring a run I made there with a buddy in late October:http://forums.performanceyears.com/forums/showthread.php?t=578234

We went on a Friday, low presence of law enforcement on that day of the week and no weekend traffic. Man, do I love So Cal.:smoke:

Well my Chevelle made it back from Florida mostly uninjured. I will try to make it, if I can get the power steering to stop leaking.

[CarlC]

OK, time for a head count. The weather looks like it will be very nice.

Who's in?

[Mkelcy]

I'm in.

[rsk68]

Darn I cant make it, my little one has her All star soccer game this Sunday.

[Roadbuster]

I'm going to try to make this one. A couple minor things to take care of. I hope I don't wake the whole neighborhood!!

Count me in. Maybe I catch a ride from the parking lot with someone so I don't have to drive my Toyota up the mountain. Since my Camaro isn't done yet :doh:

[Lance-W]

We're in. Both Chevelles. Camaro just isn't quite there yet. Definitely next time though.

[6'9"Witha69]

Until things turn around for me, I can't justify the cost. See you (hopefully :fingersx:) next time.

[DriverzInc]

How many cars are going?

[mike67cam]

I'm going to try and make it with the Camaro. 6:30 a.m at the Shell?

Mike

[CarlC]

Looks like 5-6 from here, maybe a few from ls1ech and ls1gto as well.

6:30am departure from the Shell station.

[Chad-1stGen]

so Angels Crest is a confirmed go? I love this weather!

I've been working on the car all day. Hope to see you guys in the morning!

[1969CamaroRS]

Lets hope the weather holds; should be a lot of fun, looking forward to it!

[Larry Callahan]

Dam!!!! Next time should not be a problem. I SO can't wait to join you guys.

[Mkelcy]

Dam!!!! Next time should not be a problem. I SO can't wait to join you guys.

You can always ride with someone.

[Roadbuster]

For this run what is the meet up time and location?

Jon

[1969CamaroRS]

For this run what is the meet up time and location?

Jon

Unless I am mistaken it is the Shell Station off the 210 at the Angeles Crest Highway exit @ 6:30am Sun Jan 18th.

[Mkelcy]

Unless I am mistaken it is the Shell Station off the 210 at the Angeles Crest Highway exit @ 6:30am Sun Jan 18th.

That's right. Heading away from Pasadena on the 210, you turn left at the end of the ACH exit ramp, cross over the 210 freeway and turn left into the Shell station. Heading toward Pasadena on the 210, you turn right at the end of the ACH exit ramp and then quickly left into the Shell station.

[Roadbuster]

Thanks guys,
I am planning on being there!

Was a lot of fun, meeting you all. Lot of nice cars and people!


And thanks to Carl for letting me hitch a ride up and down the mountain.

[Tkach]

I miss the crest sooo much I hope to make a trip back in March hopefully Ill join you guys on a run, I grew up in LaCrescenta so the crest and I are life long pals.

[Chad-1stGen]

Sweet pics Lance.

I'll add my crappy action shots. Dirty windshield and windows plus shaky driver hands do not make for great pics lol.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

With a nice camera and steady hands this next shot coulda been sweet!
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Ignore the rear view mirror and look at that glorious winding road :)
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Hey is this pic actually in focus, haha ?
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

I think this next pics is my favorite pic of the day.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

I'm only including this next blury pic as I hear this is the first time cameras have been able to catch Mike actually using his brakes going up the crest.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Look carefully and you'll see there are actually TWO Chevelles in this pic.

Alots of great people on a awesome road. Good pictures Lance and Chad. Carls Camaro is a very sweet ride along with Mikes BB Pro-Charged Camaro. It was also cool that the A-bodies made a good showing.

More people need to do this. :drive:

[CarlC]

What a great morning. Could the weather have been any better?

Chad,

Mike was not braking. He was just showing you that the lights worked.

Nice pics Lance. Thanks for bringing the family out. Jill's a keeper for driving and putting up with us.

So, it's time to start thinking about February......

[Larry Callahan]

Thanks for the pics!!!!

[Roadbuster]

Jon

[rsk68]

wow what a great turn out, I should be good for the next trip.

[Chad-1stGen]

Cool pics Jon. Did you notice the pic I got of your car in my side mirror?

[Mkelcy]

I'm only including this next blury pic as I hear this is the first time cameras have been able to catch Mike actually using his brakes going up the crest.

Brakes? I don't need no stinking brakes!

Lance and Chad, nice pictures.

Chad, you need to do something about the red light. I'm not sure my heart can take it.

[mike67cam]

It was great meeting everyone today. Thanks for posting the pictures. I’m already looking forward to the February cruise.

[Roadbuster]

Sweet pics Lance.

I'll add my crappy action shots. Dirty windshield and windows plus shaky driver hands do not make for great pics lol.

I think this next pics is my favorite pic of the day.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


Shaky hands! With all the turns on the road, I am amazed you got these!:eek:

Thanks for the cool pic! :woot:

Hey Chad I thought I had posed this - then I look and here it is still in the reply mode!

[406 Q-ship]

If you use brakes then you have to replace pads......
