Sunday Cruise 3/14/10 (SoCal)

[IRON-E]

It's a Sunday March 13, 2010
Meet: 8:00 AM
Departure: 9:00 AM

Please, please I can not stress this enough, make sure you check your cars prior to arriving to the meet. Unless it's a small detail.

General infoe: look for signs of distress like if someone is slowing down or comes to a full stop, make sure the first guy behind the person who slows down turns on their hazard lights or flashes lights or something to let the rest of the group know of such things.
Use of your high beams twice if there are e30s left behind, so stop until we can form a solid group once again.

If you guys have 2 way radios or walkie talkies bring them with you to stay in contact with the rest of us. I encourage that you guys bring radar detectors as we do tend to speed a little every now and then.... ;)

The route will be much longer this time, so be prepared to waste more than a quarter tank of gas. ;)

Usual suspects start as followed

Gas up your cars, check the fluids and be ready to drive. We do not want to go look for gas stations at the time of departure (OBEY)


Be prepared with some tools, oil, shop rags, PS fluid, Coolant and anything else you guys think we might need in case of a brake-down. :-D

Dimitri this is the thing, you'll only be in SoCal for a few more months then you'll turn into a NorCal gay and will have lots of better roads to drive in.

You'll miss our local shit holes and friendships so Just come enjoy this last drive with us dude. ;)

Hey, I've got an idea?, why doesn't someone else plan the route, make it safe for everyone, think about other people taking their families and just enjoying the drive not a canyon carving run and then come back and let us know what you got.

I'm not being a jerk Pooper, I'm just trying to play it safe because I don't have the baddest car to run up and down the canyons and I don't think you do either. Call me crazy but when did we become professional canyon drivers? I just want to cruise not run people off the road. Oh and if you're bored of the roads we've been on?, hell go to GMR and wreck your car like accident did, that's the way to go. :rofl:

just my

^^^i'm with WS e30 trece on this one :)


if you would like to learn more about how to handle your car on the canyons, then please come talk to me as I can teach y'all how to handle your e30s. I have taught many people on how to race their cars in different race tracks using different cars and it is 'cuz I have had enough experience and driving hours at actual race tracks (Willow Springs International Raceway is one of them).


To be honest with you, the only person I am comfortable going fast on the canyons would be Rob as I have seen his lines and he actually knows how to heel-and-toe/rev match upon entering the turn and modulating the gas during and after the apex. There are other people that I am comfortable with, but may need a little bit more practice especially after seeing their lines.

Basically, turn early because the goal is less steering especially during the turns. Brake early and do not brake during the turn as that can cause you to under-steer. Make sure you got good tires if you decide to turn quicker than the suggested turning limit (mph), otherwise, follow the limit when turning into the apex and accelerate your way out of the apex. I hope these basic info helps.
