Why don't we do that. We will do the run, whether we get out at 8 or 815 we will be sure to meet back with you at 9 to roll!!!

you gonna tt Dusty to confirm? We have 22 confirmed on the other thread which means we will need 30 spots for MB's....

Guys, we need to move everything up about half an hour earlier. My friend asked us to be there as early as possible. With over 1000 cars registered, I would imagine traffic being an issue and setting up into our reserved spots. So I am thinking that the run can start around 7:30-7:45 and be back around 8:30 at VCR to leave. I will be sending out PMs to everyone confirmed for this thread and the other as well. See you guys Sunday!!!

I have my Branches Xmas party the night b4 so i will not be there any earlier than the originally planned 745-800...sorry . For me the canyon run and seeing all the cars is more important than all showing up together at 830am(though if i would love for it all to work out!). Reality is showing up at 1030 would be better than showing up at 830...

Eric - I concur, but I am just relaying the message from Dusty. In his words, "be there as early as possible".

Perfect! No Changes....tomorrow will be jsut like it is now...clear skies and temps very crisp in the lower 50's...

With temps like make sure your tires are fully warmed up b4 getting after it...first 2 miles or so on cold tires with almost 400lb-ft of torque and its like driving on butter...

Mark, it's nothing to worry about. If you aren't comfortable, stay in the back with me. I do more of a canyon cruise.

ok awsome, i love to drive through twisty roads and such (made it down Big-Bear mtn. in less than 30 min.) but after reading that little guidelines page, i just got a little nervous that i might be getting my self into too much, and seeing that most of the cars were 55s, and much better handling than my 129... well you get my train of thought. but, i feel much better now that not everyone is going to haulass.

Mark,

so what time should i arrive at the coffee shop? 7:30?

** people might be wondering why i have "ghetto splitters" on my bumper it is just because they are mock-ups for a upcomming project***]

Trust me...last time, I was the last one and was about 5 minutes behind everyone. The first priority is safety, if you don't feel safe, back off and just enjoy the drive.

I think the drive will begin at 8am sharp, maybe earlier, so anytime between 7:30 and 7:50.
