(NCVC) Calaveras Nights

Calaveras nights are back after a long MiA!

This thread will be for posting dates and time when each Calaveras Meet and Run will take place.

First run -

Where:
2 S Park Victoria Dr
Milpitas, CA 95035

When:June 29th

Time: 9:15pm

Attendees

1. jrjrdinh
2. Pur Blu
3. computerlove87
4. ezhacker1
5. skuzzlebutt5
6. advocate
7. Kioshi
8. kiteless(?)
9. Martin (?)
10. contraband831 (?)


**When making a new Calaveras Meet/Run date, just copy/paste the above format with new date and time, please

We have a lot of more people now in the club, and few of them have had a taste of what Calaveras Nights is all about at the Saratoga Meet...this is a bit more fun

I will edit this post with more information on location of meet up and course run.

I'll see if I can make it, but I don't like Calaveras. Too risky for me.

You're back!
I want to see your Prius again! Loved those fog lights color.
Yes, you started this and....we Thank You and still remember you

Others are more than welcome, please bring more!, so as to respect the road and other cars going up it.

Speaking of this meet...who's leading? I need a leader that can hold themselves on the road AND flick high beam and low beams frequently to tell oncoming cars from a far/blind distant that there are cars coming on the narrow roads..

P.S. I have work....i will arrive at 10:50pm?
You guys can start the run up and I will meet you for the return run back up it.

Ooohhhh... Is this going from Calaveras to Felter then down to Sierra or is it all Calaveras up to 680? Both are really fun. Could we do Mt Hamilton next?

Please count me in for Friday night.

I'm probably gonna go all stock though...

Yes sir! We can do Mt Hamilton next
When we set that meet/drive, could you please lead everyone, since you will be the most familiar one with that road

We've had 2 cars in the past run Calaveras on stock tires (Eagle LS) and they tore it up haha.

You will enjoy the road. I think it goes down to Sierra but 680 is really close to it and other freeways.

The others will be there first, I will show up late.

lol. Yeah, Mt Hamilton is awesome, especially getting up to Lick Observatory, nice view from up there. And if you're really feeling like a drive, we could continue all the way out to Livermore (66.9mi).

For Friday night, it's a quick drive from Calaveras to Felter and on to Sierra (12.3mi)... or we could take a left and continue on Calaveras which would take us up to 680 and Calaveras in Fremont (16.7mi). Or go up Sierra and then make a right on Calaveras from Felter to 680 (24.1mi).

The only bad thing is that it's a 1 lane road (on Calaveras) and there's no cell reception when you get close to the reservoir.

It should be fun either way. 4 more days!!!

The idea of no cell reception sounded bad the first time Alex (Prius owner) led us to this road, but after the run all the worries were washed away in my head.

The 1 lane road near the top gets a little bit intense because you have to be really attentive on the driving, but fun nonetheless. Whoever is leading, please flick your high beams AND low beams frequently to let oncoming cars know.

2 more days


EDIT: @ jrjrdihn - any word on who else is showing up, how many from the other forums combined?
Thanks!

Advocate is in! Guess he's leading now :)
