'NorCal' Sacramento Meet/Cruise (03.--.2010) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kioshi · 01-26-2010, 12:26 PM

WHAT: Sacramento NorCal Meet. Kaotic and I have decided on a eat and cruise meet. Originally we thought of going to a drive-through movie and hogging up the space w/ our cars...but that might be late for most of us....So eating and then cruising through Salmon Falls (1 hour away from Kaotic's place, so he says....)
BUT before the cruise, a great thank you in advance goes out to Clark (MiniTRD) for hosting us/our cars so, "we can also do some mods, repairs, maintenance etc. if needed and time permitting. I have a some fairly welled stocked tool chests, so unless it's a specialty tool, I should have it." - MiniTRD~~

Schedule: The 1st Ever NCVC Meet

Meet together, eat together, and drive together....Then we head back home~~

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-26-2010, 02:42 PM

Can we change that date? I have a mandatory ropes course I have to attend that day for my RPTA class. If I don't attend, I fail the class. Just found this out today. I also have to attend an aquatic center event on April 17. So that's $40 and $10 that I HAVE to spend. Arrgh! So much for saving up for a sway bar. My schedule will become more clear within the next two weeks.

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-26-2010, 02:45 PM

Also, on this cruise, please drive cautiously. It'll be during the day, so I'm sure there'll be other cars on the road, and even though it doesn't look crazy, I've seen some crashes (posted on other forums).

Kioshi · 01-26-2010, 11:37 PM

Laz, I'll push the date to Sunday March 14th for now, is that cool? I can move it to the weekend after the March 13-14th weekend if more people are having conflicts...

I just need 3 weeks prior to the date to file paperwork to get the day off, otherwise i am a guarantee to be working weekends and I have no sick hours to accommodate as well...

And thanks for posting up the directions to Salmon Falls for people coming from different directions. Are we eating first or cruising first? And I don't know if there is a easy to find spot where we can all gather up and headout from there....that's why i suggested we meet at you're parking lot or something lol~

cali yaris · 01-26-2010, 11:51 PM

I love this -- I will really try, guys.

Yeah, sure, I believe the 14th should work.

LOL, meet at my Sac house? hahaha. Sure, why not. hahaha.

We can eat at this burger joint down the street from where I live (we can also meet there). It's called Jasper's Burger. It's pretty good. What do you guys feel like eating? There's tons of places near by. I think we should eat first, then do the cruise.

Salmon falls is definitely a perilous area. What about that really tall bridge in the area Laz? Would be a shame to be in the area and not go over it / see it!

Yo, Shawn, I think you'll enjoy the road. I personally haven't been on it yet, but the video shows how fun it looks. That bridge would provide a nice background for your photoshoot

Gideon · 01-27-2010, 11:49 AM

Salmon Falls is an awesome road.

Just don't try to impress anyone and drive like an idiot and you'll be fine. I've driven it many times, it's a blast, especially uphill in 3rd.

Kioshi · 01-28-2010, 08:36 PM

If i remember, he said he lived around Vallejo area....so that would be the area we would be all meeting up at.

And you better be able to make to this, i made it a weekend so people wouldn't be working and have time off. Request this day off.
