Ludicrous Speed and lunch at Newcomb

From Sunland all the way to Wrightwood via the back roads with lunch at Newcomb

HEY BILL
ANY ROCKS TO BOUNCE AGAINST THE CARS

At the very start there is .2 mile of go real slow construction area. On the crest there was no gravel on the road. For a few miles past the ski resorts there were some rocks in the road with 2 sweeper crews clearing them. Nothing active or blocking the road. I ran it today Monday and was thrilled to see it was open all the way to Wrightwood.

Good job Bill! See ya there!!!

Be prepared to give lessons at Carlisle El Guapo / Demil........... ;-)

I think I will be there. Is it possible to go all the way to I-15 now?

Will, yes the road goes all the way to the 15. I think its been many years since it was opened.

Will - Once we reach Wrightwood (ski area) it is approx 5-6 miles from there to Hwy 138. From that junction its approx 10 miles east to the I-15 which you can take south to Hwy 76. If this is your tentative route for home I may join you (to avoid the Sunday traffic on the 210).

It's going to be a nice warm day for a cruise! Anyone else interested??

I am in , see you Sunday.

So who's ALL gonna meet up here and where & what time again.....

Jimbo you coming up the 15 and across the 60, 10 or 210 with Will, I'd like to meet you guys somewhere if your coming up that route.. let me know or just call me too! You too Will... cell 562 201-3829

thanks,

Speedster "D"

Speedster D - we'll meet you at the same place as the last Angeles Crest cruise. Off the 210 fwy just West of the 605. Take the exit for Mountain Ave and we'll meet you at the Staples on that road.

We should be rolling by there about 09:30-9:45. Rolling stop in the Staples parking lot then back on the freeway to Sunland by 10:00am! Cell (949) 294-6302

Sorry guys, I don't think I can make it, way too many things to take care back home. Enjoy the drive and be safe...

Eddy

Sounds good, the key word here is ROLLING... I'll be ready to move when I see you guys coming off the freeway... got your cell and I hope you have mine too!

Mine is 213-446-4689. See you in the AM!

What a great day playing in the mountains!!! 130 miles of curves!!
Barkley and I had a blast, thanks to all who came.

I hope everyone made it home safe and sound. I almost got home safe, but I somehow turned my Ludicrous speed switch backwards into full invisible cloaking mode. Works great too, she kept telling me she didn't see me at all!

BILL,
CARROL AND I HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS FOR PLANNING A FUN RIDE.
LARRY U R THE MAN FOR THE DISTANCE U DROVE.
HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE SOON

Bill -
What happened to your speedster? Did that happen on your run today?
Simi Mike

Bill,

Thanks for organizing an excellent day. It was nice to see every one. Sorry about the fender bender/cruncher.

Larry

Hi Mike,
You should have gone with us today!! It was a fun time for all!

You know most accidents happen near home where some folks aren't paying attention. 4 way stop with cars waiting in 3 of the 4 streets. When it was my turn I pulled out and this Lincoln pulled out too, I hit my horn and stopped. While looking right at me she drove through the intersection hitting me and pushing my Speedster around. Horn, crunching, breaking glass and she still completed her turn as if I wasn't there. She told me my car was invisible! She told her LAPD husband too! LOL, but sucks big time!

Glad you made the long drive Larry. Fun day, good weather and great friends!

OUCH ! Sorry Bill - my speedsters, send your speedster - - a get well card. Hope you weren't injured in any way. I was commited to
a car show in Ventura County today. I paid for it about a month ago.
I took 1st place.
Do you have some contacts already, to get your car fixed quickly?

Larry, you do the next one to Mt Palomar!

Hi Mike,
Congrats on the 1st place!!! Good thing it's a convertible! I'll bet your head was a bit larger on the way home! Your car looks like new, wait it is!

I am going to Carlisle next week I was gonna leave it at VS so the adjusters find out what to do.
I never wanted to find out what would happen. Now that I have, I think the Lincoln got the worst damage.

Thank You Kirk and VS!

DAMN BILL,
BETWEEN ME SKIDDING OUT OF THE WAY OF THOSE TWO BIKERS ON THAT BLIND CURVE AND U ON THE WAY HOME IT WAS ONE HELL OF A RIDE
GLAD U R OK

Those bikers in the road were a surprise to me too. When I hit the brakes my front hopped and locked in a way it shouldn't have!
I am waiting to see someone put a modern front suspension in our cars!

Bill-that window tint on the Lincoln seems a bit dark...almost an "opera tint"...not really legal...just sayin'...

Her window was rolled down, she was looking right at me. That darn invisible mode should be used during get-a-ways only!

I think I will upgrade my horn. Maybe a battleship fog horn would work! All the windows in the other car would have shattered :)

Bill,

My condolences about the car, that's a damn shame. Thankfully though no one was hurt (including Barkley). Between the biker dumping his bike near Newcomb's, rocks I drove over that nearly hit the toyota spyder behind me (I will share the video with you), Gerd's encounter with those bikers and your fender bender I think all of us need to go out and buy a lotto ticket since we made it! Never a dull moment.

Rebecca and I appreciate you and everyone else that made it out- made for a great Sunday cruise.

What irony that you and I were just talking about that pimp 3rd brake light you have- maybe you should mount them all around your car so people can "see you". ;)

chris

Mr. Bill - once again, you've mapped out an awesome route for our mountain cruise. Great weather, cool cars, spectacular views, fun group to hang with. Glad to hear that you & Barkley didn't get hurt by that IDIOT driver. Also, that was pretty crazy during lunch at Newcomb's to be watching that chopper lower that medic for the injured biker, wow!

Thanks for putting this cruise together!

Hey Bill,

Sorry to hear about your car, it looks like I miss a good one. One of these days I will go up there with you guys.

Eddy

Seems like a lot of action for a day ride...boy I missed a good one.
"Crash Webster" only you could cause more damage to a lincoln than your own speedster...Kirk builds a pretty sturdy ride....

I'm almost ready to be able to have a fun day without feeling guilty about not unpacking boxes, or organizing the storage locker, which by the way now houses "El Diablo"

Oh, by the way, here are a few pic's of my latest daily driver...
05 with 25K miles

Sorry I missed this run, it looks like a great time. Vince, that is an awesome ride! It looks like it was laser cut from a block of solid platinum.

Holy CARP, Vince! The Speedster, the T-Bird, and now the Caddy. I want what's in YOUR garage.

Nice score, Vince! You don't see too many guys your age driving a "Leisure Village Vette." ;-)
At least now you'll get the Senior Discount at the Car Wash without asking for it.

Gosh-everyone seems to be going all geometric and everything...bring back DAGMARS...please

Vinnie - you definitely have a NICE RIDE (oh, and that's a cool car too!). 8-)
