West Coast Drive planned for 3/10
For those SF Bay Area PPBBers that may not visit www.babblers.org, there is a day trip planned for Mt. Diablo on March 10th. All the details for, "See the World II" can be found at the link below.
Fun Fact: Mt Diablo's summit - 3,849' - offers a sweeping panorama--more of the earth's surface can be seen from the mountain than any other peak in the world, except Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa.

Here is a picture from the last meet.

Looks like a fun drive. I really like Crow Canyon Rd. My grandparents lived in Castro Valley. I'll see if my Bro will want to go. Hopefully the drive will be a little more "spirited" than the last time my wife and I went on a PCC drive.

Keep in mind it's in a State Park so I don't know how hard they drive in there. This will be my first year going so I guess I will find out.
*You have 100 miles from Rocklin to San Ramon,don't tell me there aren't any onramps on the way there you couldn't have fun on.

V_J, I know you're in Rocklin but if you want more spirited drive, you should check out, 6speedonline.com event threads. Those guys are crazy , went twice already with their event and all i could say is, most of the time, RPM stays @ 4500 and above

I went on the original drive. Seems like 100 years ago. Dan invited the local S2000 owners. I bought sushi for lunch.
I think this is a picture of that drive waiting for the others to catch up, but I did not take it.

18 people are signed-up w/ about 5 guess. Mostly Boxsters, but some Caymans and a Turbo will be there.
