    Inspired by the incredible fun and camaraderie of the Marin FOG group, I'm pleased to announce the formation of the SACamento Region Exotic Driver's Group (SACRED). Like our Bay Area brethren, our group is about the excitement and enjoyment of the local area's roads and making friends with other exotic owners.

    We welcome owners of all models of true exotics - Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Audi R8, Ford GT, etc. - to join us in exploring our region's fantastic roads through spirited drives on Saturday mornings (with an aim not to conflict with FOG's drives, as we would like everyone locally to continue to join the Marin folks!), starting out as every four weeks.

    Unless otherwise stated, all drives will leave our departure point at 8AM sharp, and will not be longer than 3 hours, so you will have plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your weekend. After each drive, we should be having a group lunch (totally optional, of course!).

    Please PM myself or jm3 to get the meeting/departure point.

    Our first excursion will be on Saturday, January 29th, at 8AM. We look forward to seeing all our friends, and making new ones, then. Please feel free to invite other exotic car owners in your social circle to our drives - there's plenty of room in the SACRED family!

    So, without further ado, let's get started!

    This is cool. Though I myself have nothing truly "exotic", I would love to come out meet some fellow Tifosi in my own backyard. I'll let my friends know, that own Ferraris, there is an effort to organize local drives and see if I can get some of them to come out with their prancing horses.

    Thanks, gentlemen, for the kind words, and I hope you'll join us soon. Michael, that means you'll just have to ride along with me, for now, I'm afraid. ;)

    drpetril knows a couple folks in the Lambo community, and I know one local owner myself. I'll reach out to him, and if you know any others, please invite them to contact me. PM me for my e-mail address and phone number, if you need them.

    Before I forget - while I know local ownership isn't huge, I didn't want to forget to invite the Aston Martins out, as well. I know one owner whom I'll be contacting soon.

    That's very kind of you. I appreciate it very much :). I'll be the kid in the driving cap. I've sent a few emails out to a couple local Ferrari owners, I'm awaiting their reply. I'll let you know as soon as I know something. I look forward to meeting you all.

    I just can't wait to go... Beautiful pics, JM - love that wispy fog. When I first moved here from NJ, I got so excited about that ultra-thick fog, and I still enjoy driving in it so much. On early mornings on weekends, when no one's out there and it's foggy, it's my favorite, for some reason...

    I'll see some of you on Saturday's FCA Delta Dash (the route should be less exciting than the one we've got planned for SACRED), but really look forward to the 29th!

    Just a quick update on our planning for this Saturday's inaugural SACRED drive and lunch...

    I'm working on getting us hosted at a winery in Plymouth that I've been recommended for lunch - look forward to a couple hours of driving on some very good roads, followed by salad, handmade pizzas, and desserts.

    The weather is going to be wonderful, according to the current forecasts, and I've called on all my local owners/friends to come out and join us for a good time.

    Until Saturday!
    Orrie

    If you don't know where the meeting location is, please PM me - like the FOG group, it's not a secret, but I'm not putting the exact location out as general public knowledge...

    I was gonna ask you if you'd contacted Tommy... Here's what we have, as far as I know - I still have some Lambo/Lotus/Aston folks who may or may not show up...

    January 29, 2011:

    1. SillyPuppy (F355 Spider)
    2. ninpo4me (F430)
    3. Drpetril (F430 Spider)
    4. F1.360.Lover (360)
    5. Logical1 (F430)
    6. CaptWillieB (328)
    7. jm3 (F355 Spider or 308GT4)
    8. ferra355 (F355 Spider)
    9. JL (F430 Scuderia)
    10. Tommy (Murcielago) - Tentative.

    Shaping up great for a first go-'round! Those of us who were on last weekend's Delta Dash will see a familiar road or two, but since we're headed to Plymouth instead of Walnut Grove, most of it will be different. Bring your cameras (still AND video) - we're gonna need it for the upcoming website!
