Red Bluff is an EXTREMLY CHALLENGING ROAD! This is a rally and not a race. OBEY ALL LAWS! Stay in your LANE; don’t cross the line, try to pass, or push a slower driver in front of you. There are over 60 turns, hard drops and hills, most are blind. There is no shoulder and few places to pull off. If you can’t drive safely, STAY HOME! If you decide to participate, you and your passengers do so at your own risk and accept all liability for your actions and the actions of others both involved and not involved. Do not attempt it if you are unfamiliar with its hazards. Make sure your car is road ready. Don't forget your AAA card.

It looks as though I'm off that weekend so count me in.

 

i'm in, this time i'll bring the stradale, or my "new" 355 i'm negiotiating a trade for the 911 with. either way, its a great run, and alot of fun, with what should be better weather. some of the jackson guys need to get down there for this.

 

Aargh! Naturally, I'm out of town on the 14th. I'd shoot it again if I was available. Especially since the Stradale will be there
Sorry guys. Next time I'll come along.

 

Webb, we will take you up on that offer, they really are some great pics.



If the weather is nice we should have a better turnout than last time and the last one was great with over fifteen fast drivers.

Everyone needs to invite their friends to come and test their skills on Red Bluff Road. It was a blast to run that road and a bonus to see all those great cars.

 

I'd love to take part but I don't think my 4 cyl SUV/kid hauler would do the route justice! I might catch you guys at IHOP.

 

Are you going to bring the 67 Mustang Fastback?

 

Bring the stradale, I would really like to see it and if we get lucky Richard may come and take some killer pics of all the cars.

 

Man, sounds like you guys are going to have a good time. I wish I could make it, but I have tickets to the Saints game in Seattle...

It seems that these fun events always fall on weekends when I have other plans. I hope you guys have a good, safe time. Hopefully I can make the next event and finally get to meet some of you.

 

If I make it, yes. However I am now being informed by the wife that she arranged for us to attend some event for Parkway Partners that same day.

 

Here is a not so great Vid of Red Bluff but it does give you a snap shot for anyone who hasn't hit it:

Richard is going to shoot this run so wash those rides. He does some killer pics and you don’t want to end up on his cutting room floor because your car was dirty. He can’t Photoshop out the dirt. Check out his work, you need to scroll down to see the pics: http://www.motographer.net/site/?page_id=3&category=2

 

I rode the real tail of the dragon last week on my Harley, and look forward to joining y'all this weekend. I heard alot of good things about the last rally. The pics were great too!

 

Glad to have you join us. It looks like the Lambo will be back with a new Jag and 911. I will have the RS4 and we are looking at about another 20 + cars. It looks like sunny and a high of 83 for Sunday.

One of our CENLA SCCA guys named Phil shot this short vid of the last run.

I wish I could join you'll this time, but I have other duties. Maybe next time.

Have fun and be safe!

what a day (morning!)

mitchell, thanks for having me along today. I had a great time driving out to Red Bluff. The added benefit of our important safety lesson this morning was the icing on the cake!

Glad you made the trip; I enjoyed our conversation and your company. I can’t wait to see the rest of your pics. At least we gave one of Causeways finest a new favorite story to tell his buddies.

 

Becky and I had a great time! Good job organizing this Mitchell!!

Dave

 

Great Causeway photo! I had stopped at a crossover and was told by the cop that he had seen you guys pass earlier, under 60 MPH.
We too had a great day on the Red Bluff run. I have only been back up there once since the hurricane.
The weather was great (although it did get a litle warm later in the afternoon), the company was great, and we enjoyed drooling over all of the cars.
Don't wait too long, to schedule another run, Mitchel. I will be there.

 

i hope all his buddies buckle up!

Excellent job today Mitchel!!!! Thanks for the headsup on the safety issues before the runs. It was great meeting everyone, and see the awesome countryside, and the amazing cars!!! Hope the Stardel and I didn't piss anyone off with the fly-by's on the way back!!!

 

Richard,
That is one fine pic of the Lambo. I think Koko should put that over his fireplace instead of the Yugo.

Cool cars and two great runs on a killer road made for a terrific day. I counted 24 cars before three of the guys with honey do’s turned back to save their marriage. Many of the same faces and some new ones. Nice group of car guys and gals made for good conversation. Thanks to everyone who turned out.

NEWS FLASH:
I heard that the state police are still looking for some young punk in a new yellow Vette seen doing donuts in the grass today off hwy 21.
;-)

 

Thanks! This is my favorite of the lambo photos

Thanks Mitchell, it was my first time running that area and I had a great time. I had a million things to do yesterday, but I woke up and the weather was just too nice not to go......good thing the wife and kids were still asleep when I slipped out of the house!
