Hehehehe... or still might not even have one by then.
The MR2 would love to show up for this though, and if I can make a
motion to move the run date to the weekend AFTER the 15th... I'll have a
new clutch in the car, and will probably keep up with you guys a little
better.
This whole "owning a roadster may be illegal in CA" has got me pretty
worried. To think of all the plans I have for one... Oh well. I
"smogged" the 2... I can "smog" modified Roadster. (*wink*)(*wink*)
(*nudge*)(*nudge*)

Okay, this is what I have in mind. This is a "run
what ya brung" event as I have been driving a Ford
Focus, my self, as a daily driver for the last year,
and Ken and some others might not have their roadsters
ready in time. I have invited some Ford Focus folks
as well, and God knows they have Miata friends, and
Celeca friends, etc. so it might now be a pure Datsun
event.
I am thinking Sat. March 15, or some other weekend in
March if it works out better for a lot of people. I
test drove this route, last week end, and it is quite
scenic, and has some nice driving roads. Here's my
plan.
Meet 10:00 AM at the Sunol Valley Golf Club located
just off of Hwy 680 near the Sunol Grade. Take Andrade
Rd Exit from either direction. Golf Club web site
http://www.sunolvalley.com.
>From here we take Calaveras Rd. toward Milpitas. This
is the same as this drive from Pashnit.com:
http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/CalaverasRd.htm
On Yahoo Maps:
Start: Calaveras Rd At 680 Sunol, CA 94586
End: Calaveras Rd At Felter Rd Milpitas, CA 95035
Instead of turning right as Pashnit suggests, we turn
left and take Felter Rd toward San Jose. This next
section of map gets you to the summit of some hills
with great city views.
On Yahoo Maps:
Start: Calaveras Rd At Felter Rd Milpitas, CA 95035
End: Felter Rd At Sierra Rd San Jose, CA 95132
>From there we descend into East Side San Jose, and
picnic in Penitencia Creek County Park.
On Yahoo Maps:
Start: Felter Rd At Sierra Rd San Jose, CA 95132
End: Penitencia Creek Rd San Jose, CA 95132
I figure we should get to the park by 11:30 or 12:00
noon. From here, locals could head back home and still
have most of the day left. Folks heading back toward
Modesto, Fresno, or Sacramento could take Mt. Hamilton
Rd. to the summit, then take Del Puerto Canyon Rd to
Hwy. 5 where it branches off to the right from San
Antonio Valley Rd as you drive down from the summit.
This is the same as this drive from Pashnit.com:
http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/LickObservatory.htm
Let me know if you are interested. This will be a
fantastic drive if the weather is okay.
