The skid marks held a run to the geysers Saturday the 22nd of September. This was our fourth run as a club. We had three cars show up. Again three is better than none but more would be better. Anyway, Alan Duquette who planned the route, Mark and Mel Burchill and myself had a ball driving the -hit out of our cars. Alan and I met up at the Rohnert Park Park 'N Ride at around 10:15 AM. We waited around until 10:30 and no one else showed up so we headed up to Santa Rosa to hook up with Mark and Mel. From there we followed the old Redwood Highway through Windsor and worked our way up to the geo-thermal plants located out in the middle of no where. What a great drive for a roadster! Lot's of twists and turns and some steep hills to climb as well as fly down. As a matter of fact by the time we stopped right outside the gate to the plant you could smell clutch wafting through the air. We talked a bit about life and roadsters and then decided to head back the way of Cloverdale. Again a great drive with many turns, single lanes and beautiful views. Here are a few pictures of the run. I left one disk at home and I am on the road so there will be more pictures when I get home. Enjoy--we certainly did.

The guy in this truck saw us come flying up behind him and was kind enough to pull over to let cars cruise by at a fast rate of speed.
