    As a resident of the Upland / Mt. Baldy area, I'm trying to put together a group of like minded people who enjoy getting together for a short-drive plus coffee... i.e. coffee & cars & a drive. While a Dino 308GT4 owner myself, I'm initially encouraging anyone with a classic sports car to join to see if there's enough interest to sustain a regional group of people in the Claremont / San Dimas / Upland / La Verne / Glendora and surrounding region who would like an opportunity to exercise their cars and enjoy car culture. Drives would likely focus on Glendora ridge, Mt. Baldy style roads, and may drift to Idyllwild and Arrowhead periodically.
    For specifics see: https://www.meetup.com/Inland-Empire-Classic-Sports-Car-Club/
    If you think this would appeal to you, please join the group. Any questions or ideas, just ask!

    Agreed, I joined!
    I’m in Claremont but as above most of my cars are a bit more of modern era. Still would be cool to organize some local runs be C&C’s.
    A few years ago I used to organize C&C’s at Victoria Gardens....

    you raise a great point - I've modified the description to say 'new classics' welcome too. My goal is not to be exclusive, but create a forum where people with older cars can also participate as many of them won't want to drive great distances. Please revisit the link and see if the description sounds better and please indicate your interest... new to this idea but feel like the area needs something...

    Modern classics I like that! Less aggressive drives are a breath of fresh air.

    great !! I am in La Verne.
    there is also a C&C event (called Wing n Wheels) at Cable Airport (Upland airport) every 2nd Sunday..
    don't forget CNC just moved to Upland, they have free donuts and coffee :)
    I am more of a track guy, rarely does mountain driving. too scared of getting pulled over..

    I/we do similar, perhaps little longer (100+ mile) drives up to local mountains (Hwys 2, 18, 38, 74, 243, 330, etc) once or twice a month, but primarily with pre-war "hot rods" and/or older (vintage) "sports" cars and tend to focus more on scenic/spirited (yet leisurely) driving than "chatting", "coffee" or "donuts". ;)
    Always fun way to spend a Sunday . :)
    Actually, have plans for another one tomorrow am.

    Had another wonderful 140+ mile spirited drive on the 30th. with more curves, twists & turns than should be allowable for tie-rod ends in a single day. :D
    7000+ ft. of elevation changes, a small hike at about 6500 ft. altitude, pick-nick lunch w/ice cream & cigar for dessert overlooking Big Bear Lake, multiple other scenic roadside rest stops, etc.
    A well spent day in a 86 year old open sports car. :)

    The first event is now FIRM for 8am on SAT 11/10. CNC Motors (North Upland, CA) will be our launch pad from which a loop drive from their through north Claremont, Mount Baldy and San Antonio Heights will bring us back to CNC. In addition to the social aspect and drive, attendees will have a chance to view CNC's amazing inventory. Starts at 8am. Finishes no later than 10am. The IECSCC's goal is to merge a C&C concept with a short-drive. For more details please see: https://www.meetup.com/Inland-Empire-Classic-Sports-Car-Club/events/255012859/
    Please register your intent to attend on the MeetUp site. If you don't register you are still welcome to attend - just message me so I can put together an expected head count for CNC.

    what other group is driving that day? I didn't see any FCA or similar events on that day. Just curious if its a big enough conflict to change the date.

    It’s mainly a Lambo group. With a few outliers peppered in for fun.

    We are now just over a week away from our first scheduled event on SAT 11/10. We'll plan on meeting at 8am at CNC Motors (North Upland, CA) departing at 8:30am for a 25-30 mile loop drive through north Claremont, Mount Baldy and San Antonio Heights with an opportunity to mingle and see CNC's exotic inventory at the end of the drive. If you can join us please do. I'd like to get a head count to ensure critical mass so please either message me through F-chat or sign up via: https://www.meetup.com/Inland-Empire-Classic-Sports-Car-Club/events/255012859/
    thanks, Ian
