For anyone who's interested,


If you have a free Sunday, and you'd like to go for a nice drive in some of the best driving roads in the world...have I got a treat for you. Come out and enjoy some tarmac worship with your KINOD friends on a KINOD Sunday Drive. This is an open marque event! Invite your friends who have sports cars and know how to drive them. We'll all have fun together!

Meeting/Departure/Ending Point:
9:00am meet, depart at 9:29am
Jack In The Box parking lot
Kanan Road exit off the 101 FWY
Agoura Hills

The Route:
From the departure point at Kanan-->Mulholland Hwy-->Las Virgines-->Piuma--Las Flores Cyn-->PCH (north)-->Latigo-->Kanan Dume-->Mulholland Hwy (again)-->Stunt-->Saddle Peak-->Tuna Canyon-->PCH (north again)-->Los Flores Cyn-->Piuma (again, opposite direction)-->Los Virgines (again, opposite direction)--Mulholland (again, opposite direction)-->Kanan (again, opposite direction...)-->back to original meeting point, lunch at Islands, and then go home on 101.

Notes:
-We'll be dividing the drive into two groups, Regular Drivers and Advanced Drivers. The Regular Drivers group will run at a slower, more casual pace. You should only drive with the Advanced Drivers if you have substantial mountain driving experience and know advanced driving techniques (such as heel/toe, rev matching, lane discipline, know "The Pace", etc).

-Make sure you top off your tank at the gas station next door to the meeting point prior to departure.

-Bring extra money if you plan to have lunch with the group at the end of the drive. The plan is to eat at one of the restaurants at the meeting/departure/endpoint. Most likely it'll be Island Burgers.

-CB radios are recommended, but not required.

-If you or your passenger tends to get carsick, bring Dramamine. You'll need it.

-This is not a race or touge run. Don't overdrive your car, because you can crash...and you DON'T want to crash on these roads (they're very unforgiving).

-If you find that you are holding up traffic, please use turnouts and let the person behind you pass. There is no shame in letting someone pass.

-There are several sections of the route that aren't slammed friendly. It would be wise to optimize your car with "track" like settings to get the most out of this event.

-Drive at your own pace. If you lose sight of the person behind you, you should stop at any intersection where a turn is being made and wait until they have you in sight before you continue onto the next leg. That way, we don't leave people behind because of missed turns.

 

sounds fun! but a bit far for me...

 

^ +1

 

Far for glendale? about 33 miles to agoura hills from there... oh wait.. 2 glendales in CA? wtf?

 

Im down + 3

 

9am is too late to start a run if plan on driving fast.

Better not hit a biker, either motorcycle or bycylist

 

should be 9pm !

 

Definitely know what you mean, however as the original post says, not a touge run or race. I'm sure the advanced group will be going quick, but not racing, and if they are good enough to be in the advanced group then they dang well better know to drive in control and safely.

 

have at least 25 folks on 2 other forums saying yep. Hope to see some of you guys there!

 

9am on GMR is prime time for bikers

 

according to run organizer it's been canceled due to death in family this morning. I still plan on heading down there.
