2nd Annual "Tour D'Hoe" NorCal

Bob.
When do you plan to leave Fresno? There is a possibility that Jim and Warren will be passing through and we may all meet up for the drive up the 99.

Terry - count Ginny & I in for Friday nite dinner.

Troy - I think Warren & I are going to stay on Hwy 5 to Sac then Auburn. We'll catch up with you & Thuan Friday eve in Auburn.

Looking forward to hanging with our SOC friends!

Peace - Out!

Troy, probably around 12 noon. Sacto traffic is bad late afternoon. Would be fun to train up together.

It is great to see all the folks coming up, I'll add two more from the 356 club, Kim and Rachel.

See you guys in Auburn.

Conflict of interest puts me on Catalina for this weekend or I would be joining you, have a safe cruise....

Vince, does Catalina know about this. sorry to miss you and Teri, I enjoyed talking to her. Bob's wife Jessica...series

Sorry kids...... I think I'll be there!

ernie, bring some oxygen, you flatlanders arent use to the altitude.

Good news, Ernie.
I take it the bubble has shrunk?

I think we might be able to make this one, hopefully you guys wont mind a spyder tagging along ;)

I feel I need to make up for not making it to Pismo :(

Ricky - If they don't mind a 914, they won't mind a Spyder.




Glad you are going to make it Ernie.

Leaving Frezz about 5pm friday. Bunking with family in Roseville. See you all in Auburn next am. Hope to get to know all of you better.

Bob and Sarah

Anyone staying at the Holiday Inn from Saturday-Sunday? I could make it back home on Saturday but if there's an after drive dinner I would rather not drive back till Sunday. :)

OK kids, I've just been hammered by the loving wife.
Where and when is the Saturday breakfast?
She is taking NO prisoners on this issue!
See Ya soon, (@ breakfast, I hope)
The Ernster

Ricky - Karen and I are open for dinner Saturday.
We'll talk.

Ernie,
If you (your wife) want breakfast, there's a Max's Diner at the Holiday Inn.
Show up early and have at it.
If anyone needs directions or whatever, my numbers are:
Home: 530-268-2496. Cell: 530-305-1836
Warren, Jim, et al, what time do you want to do dinner Friday night?

Guys,
I am really sorry Michele and I will not be able to make dinner. We will see you Saturday about 9ish at the Holiday Inn.

Full tanks everybody!

I'm guessing we'll (Warren & Karen White - Musbjim & Ginny) be pulling into the Holiday Inn around 4:00-4:30 Friday afternoon. We're up for dinner anytime after 6:00PM.

Ricky - Glad to hear you're making this cruise, looking forward to catching up with you guys. Ginny & I are staying Friday & Saturday nite at that Holiday Inn and would like to hook up with you guys for Sat dinner.

No friday dinner for us. getting in about 8:30pm friday. See you about 8:30am saturday morn in Auburn. solid!

We should be there around 9am... see you all there :)

Good times, today!
The weather was outstanding, almost as good as the participants.
Thanks to Jim and Ginny for making the trek up here. Such positive energy from you two.
Warren and Karen, also a long drive up here. You two always brighten up the party. Warren, your "SLONBLU" 914 is a beauty.
Bob and Sara, Troy and TJ., I hope you found the tour worth your drive from Fresno. We sure enjoyed having you along.
Ricky and Vanessa, cool couple, cool spyder!
Dale and Michele, thanks for heading up the tour!
Barnco Bob, big guy, big heart, your tiger is awesome!
Kim and Rachel, part of the local 356 club, showed up in their convertible D...a real one! They rock. They also volunteered to have a barbecue at their place after the tour next year.
The picnic at the lake was perfect. Jim and Ginny, do you always bring a catering truck with you?
Andie and I really enjoyed our time with all of you.
Hopefully we'll add a few more next year!

had a great day. great people and scenery. The lake was absolutely beautiful.
Coming back dale was hauling ass in his audi turbo and i was a little concerned on #50 as we were passing everyone in sight and he was zooming by all the favorite CHP hiding places but we were lucky they werent there.

Bob, I never once exceeded the posted speed limit. Not once. It just seemed fast to you ;-)

We had a great time, Michele kept reminding me the entire way home, and enjoyed the company provided by everyone, what a great group of people and cars.

Thanks to all of you that drove up and toured with us, I'm hoping I can convince Terry to do a two day run next year. It REALLY IS HIS EVENT!

Thanks Terry and Andie, you two are great!

Pictures please......

Thanks Terry and Andie, et al, for organizing. Sarah and I had a great time. Finally met the people with the recurring names on the soc site. Nice folks all! Hope to be back next year.

Bob, Sarah and Luftig

Dale, u need to start wearing your glasses. I believe u are looking at the tach instead of speedo....5000rpm is not 50MPH:}}}

Post pics OR YOU GET VOTED OFF THE ISLAND!!!

I honestly didn't take pictures. I was either to far behind the pack, running sweep with the Tiger in front of me Or out in front waiting for the Tiger to catch up. All I can say is the 356 Roadster with its whopping 1600CC had no problem keeping up.

Angela, I know that Jim and Troy were running GoVideo. Michele and I were enjoying the perfect weather.

Made it home safely to SoCal after a great weekend with our SOC friends on the Tour D'Hoe. What an awesome tour through spectacular scenery! Thanks to Terry for coordinating this event, and to Dale for giving some historic background on the monuments we saw, and to all our NorCal SOC friends for making this such an enjoyable trip. We also enjoyed the company of Kim & Rachel who joined us with their beautiful red Roadster (real P-car). We'll be back for the 3rd Annual Tour D'Hoe.

Dale, love the roadster...
I will be sure not to make any plans to get in the way of your next tour, so I can join you guys...Didn't see any pic's of Penny...

Thanks, Vince. I can not begin to count the number of times I heard "really miss Vince up here" I hope you make it next year.

played drums for sam eddy and the rebels.

Who's Vince?

Seriously, we just got home. I did the afternoon with the Pre-Historics at Laguna Seca. Spent some time with Wil, but missed Rick. I will post some race car shots as soon as I get them downloaded. As usual, I spent the whole afternoon on turn-5 while Karen shopped in Monterey and Carmel. Next time I think I will do turn 1 or 2. Very exciting downhill hairpin banked the wrong way.

Thanks to Dale and Terry. What a great time. Nice to see everyone. People on this site are the greatest group of people ever!!!!!

Vince, dale means he has never heard that .)
Over

Gerd, it only means Dale forgot how to count...

Nice pictures, Looks like a great trip, I wish I could come, but August is a bad month for me due to work :-(

Laguna Seca on Sunday, August 14, 2011

COOL!

Thanks Terry. TJ and I really enjoyed the tour and will look forward to next year.

I did get some GoPro video, but don't have time to get it posted right now. When I get back from Pebble Beach next week, I'll see what I can do.
Troy

PS. Let's just keep it between us that mine was the only car that had any problems. Did anyone get a picture of all you guys push starting my car?

Terry next year the Houseboat trip and this one needs to be on different weekends. Sounds like the "Tour D'Hoe" was a blast and I'm sorry Betsy and I missed it. Nice job getting Kim and Rachel to go. Good people that just like to have a fun time.
