Danville d'Elegance - September 19th

AMOC Northern California

We have changed the date of the September 11th drive to September 18th to coincide with the Danville Concours d'Elegance weekend (http://www.danville-delegance.org/).

We will start with breakfast hosted by Los Gatos Luxury cars (http://www.losgatosluxcars.com/) and head out on the coastal tour when most people have arrived. We will drive into the San Mateo/Santa Cruz mountains for most of the morning and then have lunch in Half Moon Bay - location to be determined based on number of participants.

For those who are planning to attend the Danville Concours banquet (http://www.danville-delegance.org/evening-event.html) and possibly the Concours itself on Sunday, we will check into the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley/Oakland around 3pm. Book your room through Augie Kuo to get a 20% discount.

The Concours cocktails/dinner starts at 6:00 pm so we'll leave by 5:30 to get to the Blackhawk Museum. On Sunday, Concours participants would have to leave earlier in the morning to get their cars ready for show but spectators can leave later.

Here's the plan:

Saturday:

09:30 meet at Los Gatos Luxury Car dealership - 620 Blossom Hill Rd, Los Gatos
10:15 begin tour, lunch destination (TBD)
14:00 head to Hotel and check-in, clean-up/relax, etc.
17:30 head to Blackhawk Museum for cocktails and banquet

Sunday:

before 10am - head to Danville, location of the Danville Concours
11:00 - 16:00 Danville Concours

Please RSVP to Augie Kuo <> by Tuesday September 14th.

Chris Coster of Los Gatos Luxury Cars let me know that our reception for the Sept 18th drive will actually be at their other location at 66 E. Main St in Los Gatos,CA 95030. Tony Blevins (new member!) has also graciously arranged for us to have a space at Cameron's inn (http://www.cameronsinn.com/) for lunch. Also to note is that it will most likely be cloudy and cool in Half Moon Bay so please bring layers! Here's the updated itinerary for
Saturday:

Saturday:
09:30 meet at Los Gatos Luxury Car dealership - 66 E. Main St, Los Gatos
~10:15 (or before if everyone is ready) begin tour
~12:30 (or so) photo op near private space near Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay
~12:45 lunch at Cameron's Inn

race car parade

Missed it. What time was this happening? Kind of stressful on race cars to have them parading I would think. Maybe that's why the L&M Lola Can-Am car was not in the lineup. That and it would have spit 100 bucks out the exhaust in raw race fuel to make the lap

 

The event was from 11-4 with the race car parade at 11.

And yes, the white corvette blew a coolant hose at the end and blew coolant and white steam all over the car about ten feet high...
