Carbon Cyn. Run 'N' Grub: 2/27/10

[SilverBack]

Got brand-spankin' new (suspension) mods? Now's a great time to try 'em out! This is a pretty easy run with the exception of very few sharp corners. We'll be meeting at 10 AM. The more the merrier :thumbsup:

Start:

Sandra's Mexican Grill
14670 Pipeline Avenue
Chino Hills, CA 91709

End:

El Torito / Souplantation
555 Pointe Drive
Brea, CA 92821

Runtime is about 20 mins one way according to Google.

Also let's gauge where everyone wants to eat. We can stay at El Torito or Souplantation, or we can drive back to Sandra's. It doesn't matter to me, though I've never heard of Sandra's so it might be something worth trying out. All are welcome :smile:

That always means no :frown: lol

[lowsushi]

not rest, but rest. = restaraunt, lol I usually need rest I work graveyard so daytime activities happen during my "normal" sleep period.

[SilverBack]

Okay I get it now lol. Well the run will be for only about an hour including lunch, so you'll be back home to rest in no time :thumbsup:

[LA Yaris]

I am in :burnrubber::burnrubber:

Whats the speed cruzing or F&F lol.

[SilverBack]

Cruising only. Best to save the F&F mentality for Auto-X. And The Vin Diesel bad-acting crap stays at home...

[03Z33]

This is down the street from me, ill try to make it.

[SilverBack]

Very good. You bringing the Z34?

Also the address has been corrected after Google sobered-up

Sorry man, I ALWAYS quote that guy when I'm driving.
"I have nothing but time" (okay, something like that)

[ddongbap]

What mods did you get?

[SilverBack]

Show-up and find out!

Should I add you?

[ddongbap]

Yea. All my friends are going to wekfest this weekend.

[SilverBack]

You're in!

[lowsushi]

Weather.com shows a 70% chance of rain, are we on rain or shine?

[SilverBack]

We're still on :biggrin:

[lowsushi]

Glad to hear it.

Thats rain.

[LA Yaris]

This is going to be fun! :burnrubber::burnrubber::burnrubber:

[SilverBack]

There ya go! Who's afraid of a little rain? :cool:

..I've had worse...

[lowsushi]

I for one am not afraid of a lil rain, hell I rode my Motorcycle to work EVERY day rain or shine for 5 years. But you never know with some people.

[SilverBack]

Exactly, it's nothing. I've driven the treacherous Decker Cyn. (Westlake Village to Malibu through Santa Monica Mtns. and back) numerous times in torrents and pre-mudslide conditions. It was nothing, so this will be like kids jumping in sidewalk puddles...

[lowsushi]

Yeah but back in the day when I was a minitrucker, the slightest hint of rain and some peeps would not take out their "babies".

[ddongbap]

I avoid the rain for different reasons. Its dangerous out there.

[LA Yaris]

the more wet it is the better chance to drift :biggrin:

[ddongbap]

Its only fun till you hit that wall. Then life starts to suck.

[SilverBack]

Yeah we're gonna have to ease-off the "NFS Carbon" mentality bigtime for the rain. Let's just have a chilled run and get to know the road. Oh yeah and I recommend everyone check their treads today or tomorrow to get a better idea how slow to drive, just to be safe. See you Saturday!

[LA Yaris]

The first time I drift my yaris was about 6 months ago if you lived in the LA area then you know were the 10 west meets the 710 north near Cal State LA and how it has that really big turn. Well anyways one day comming home from work it was about 11:15 pm. I was comming to the turn like always but I wanted to see if I can drift my yaris so I pulled the E-break and turn the wheel to the right and hit the gas hard. I think I was going about 55 or 60 mph on the turn the hole car turn side ways and I could hear the wheels. Man that was fun but I know I wouldn't do it again The yaris is to light of a car.

[ddongbap]

My car'll do that w/o yanking the e-brake. So scary =[

[LA Yaris]

I know it is scary

[justjesus]

I'll be hanging at the rear of you all.
Play it safe, fellas.

[LA Yaris]

Well for me I am going to be driving LOW and SLOW.

[eii]

Ive hit wall(s). Pretty bad too, where half of my car flies up in the air. i still have fun :D

[SilverBack]

5 going and 4 maybes. C'mon let's fill-in those maybes!

[ddongbap]

I've flipped a few.

[ddongbap]

Okay, lets see if I'll wake up in time for this.

[03Z33]

I've got work in the morning so probably won't make it... I'll try to see if I can get out early.

You guys are welcome to stop by my work after lunch if you need a final destination, it's just a couple of exits down the 57 South in Placentia:

1025-B Ortega Way
Placentia, CA, 92870

What do you do at your work jeff?

I was on the freeway while it was raining, my wheels are slipping. No thanks if its pouring down, sorry fellas.

[lowsushi]

I'll be there. Just finishing breakfast then going to check my air pressure.

[ddongbap]

I woke up too late. HAH.

[LA Yaris]

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN GUYS ! Next time lets try Terbo canyon or Azusa canyon.

[SilverBack]

^Tried Turnbull Cyn. once a while back. Wouldn't mind doing it again. Set up the meet! :thumbsup:

As for Asuza/GMR area we should wait til Summer. We're not gonna get too far with mudslides and snow right now.

Meantime good run today! Maybe we'll do this road again sometime in much drier weather.

Sounds good.

[justjesus]

I went to one in the OC. haha, my passenger wanted more.
Over by Cook's Corner, near the 241 and the 261. It was a nice run, though wet.
I'm thinking setting something up, with a BBQ after the morning run. Depending on number of people, of course.

I'll post pics of this meet, and some video I got as well, tomorrow. Too lazy, err, tired right now.

[eii]

Turnbull was my first. Its too short after doing other canyons, its boring now. Besides its more a drift road and lots of traffic. Plus its hot as hell there so no one goes up too much anymore. I go to gmr a couple times a week. Front side is usually clean reguardless of rain or snow. I was there when it snowed once, a few weeks ago actually. Backside however gets terrible after it rains and ridge gets black ice. Tuna is also a great one to do as well, so I've heard.

[justjesus]

As promised, photos and video posted. Not much this time. Sorry fellas.

link to pics and whatnot (http://yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?p=446790#post446790)

Sorry mr LA Yaris, you took off too early!

[lowsushi]

Damn I wish I knew you were hitting up Santiago, I went home and went to sleep. I had fun though.

[justjesus]

We had loads of fun in Santiago. The dirt road was crazy nuts. Though, I don't suggest it with lowered and stiff suspension!!!!!!! SUCKS

Sorry I didn't mention it. It was a last minute, on the way home decision.
