well the stinson beach didn't have the turnout I was hoping for but it was really fun and it was nice meeting some new people out there. Well I discussed this a with a couple people at the meet and I think I twist to the mt hamilton run would be nice to set up for next month. So that's what we are going to do. The meet will be early in the mourning to keep traffic on the road to a minimum but it will be worth is trust me.
Here's the deal:
The route will be 84 west take skyline south and then 9 west into santa cruz. Grab a bite to eat and then head back the same way or if you don't feel like the aggresive driving on the way back you can hit 17 back to the major freeway's and head home from there.
We will meet in redwood city somewhere becuase that's where the cruise will start. I want to leave the meet spot by 830am at the latest so that there are not that many other drivers on the road. This is a fairly long cruise so keep that in mind.
There will be two groups of drivers the "spirited" group and the more chill group. if you want to be in a certain are of the group just me know and we will make sure to have people in an order I don't want people pushing themselves past their limits and going off the road. example if you are not sure if you want to be in the sprited group or the other group ask to be in the rear of the spirited group or the front of the "slower" group.
I couple of things to check up on before going on this cruise.
-make sure your brake fluid is fairly new
-make sure your brakes are in excellant workign condition(this is very very very important)
-make sure you have decent tread wear on your tires(they don't ahve to be great tires just not bald)
-don't overestamate your capabilities.
I still need to find a place to go to and eat once we get down ther ebut I will figure something out. I don't have an exact date yet but I am thinking middle of August on a saturday. I will post up a date soon. Also this is not limited to dsm by any means, my friend with the camaro will probably be comming again so let's get a list going on of who is comming.

anyone know a good place to get some gr-2 or any struts for cheap. i think im gonna have to torch mine
, 10=extreme race course! 
I remember Hwy 9 being a little tricky for the NOVICE drivers and a few that had bald tires...had a buddies MR2 lose his clutch pedal to the floor on a downhill section, came into the turn a little to fast TAPPED the brake, caused the car to loop out and the WRX right behind him nuged bumpers 
, but luckily thats all that happened. I've seen plenty of ugly mishaps on the mountain roads including my own (and happy to still be alive! 
.
I miss my GST so bad!!! 
Oh well...
