A bunch of lazy, no good SOB's are getting together for a low key mountain run on 12/7. Vette's only, any year. No trailer queens, chase cars, pick-ups, etc. Just meet in the Angel stadum parking lot, Ketella entrance, at 7:00 AM. Just show up, bs a bit, and go. Big Bear? Idlewild? Angeles Crest Hwy? Come on out and find out. Lunch where we can find it. Should be some spirited driving!
Thrashers to show cars, as long as they can run a 100+ miles.
Clothing optional, but prefered for most (I've seen some of you guys).
Wives, girlfriends, passengers are welcome.

You picked a bad day. The Corvette blockheads are meeting at the block of orange at 8:30 am on the 7th for their annual Hooters toys for Tots run. We're cruising from the block to the Hooters in Moreno Valley. Check out the so cal regional forum for more info. Last year I had the only C3 there.

We're expecting 8-10 C3's and 5 C5's.
Drive the mountains or cruise Moreno Valley?
Well, you are going for a good cause. Have fun.

I wish my 69 was done for this ride, I just might make it just to go see some spots I haven't seen in over 20 years. Y'all have a blast, go to Big Bear and shoot pool at Chad's Place, If it's still there!! BBTank

Swing on through San Diego and pick up us strays. Then we can take the twisties up to Palomar Mountain or Harrah's Casino. Then you will be halfway home again!

We're already talking about a run through the desert (Joshua Tree?) for the begining of March, before it gets hot. I'll post the details when we get closer.
