SoCal TT driving event, October 8-9

Post by FergO2k »

Save the Date info just sent out, contact me at email address below and I will forward info on to you, put you directly in touch.

Backroads drive thru every possible twisty to be found. (Google maps show 2 hours point-to-point, we take ~6 to do same)
I will not be able to join in this year, but it is a very welcoming group.

October 8-9. https://www.socaltt.com/

Yes, that is Sunday-Monday, this is done on purpose so that weekend tourist traffic impact is minimized.

Not sure if this years trek is the Northern route (~Lompoc overnite) or Eastern route (~Desert Hot Springs overnite).
Start and end near Glendale / Echo Park.

While in the past "pre-'75 cars" was a rule, that is much less strict than before. (and if you sign up and your intended ride breaks down day before just drive along in anything!)
"Fiat made cars during that time, so this is a 1984 Fiat Spider!"
(no rules if you prefer to do it on 2 wheels, and those of us in cars help out by schlepping your luggage)
Note: we help with luggage, leave your "baggage" at home, whether on 2 wheels or 4.

The "dis-organizer" books the rooms in a block and hosts an informal "awards dinner" at a pizza place the end. (and makes the route sheets, pre-runs the legs to make sure they are open, or at least were open the previous week)
Very informal, irreverent group.

About 200-220 miles per day, with the variety of cars (and fuel mileage) there are stops every 90 minutes or so, for gas and "gearhead storytelling".
Not competitive, take at your own pace.
You will usually find 2-4 cars that are choosing the same pace, so don't really need to follow along the instructions/route sheet, if you find yourself unsure just pull over and wait until a cool car comes along, then drop in behind them.
There is always a "fast group" if one chooses. (yes, that is often the 510 guys!)

In the email address shown below, swap out an O (oh) for the two Zeroes.
