The SACramento Region Exotic Driver's (SACRED) Group Thread

In our defense, we DID give you an extra five minutes before we headed out... I hadn't heard from you to let me know you were running late, so JRQ and I figured you weren't coming. I'll be setting up something soon, but I have some family stuff to take care of in PHX this weekend, so I'll be away. Feel free to get together and drive without me, though!

Hell, yeah. I'm back from Phoenix (again!), and am ready to go. Saturday work for you? Jay? Dave?

Damn, I'm booked until late Saturday night, so I can't drive (safely) Sunday morning. And I'm out of town the weekend of the 12th, so can we block off for the morning of the 19th?

Orrie

 

Hey, gentlemen, welcome aboard! My work (and recreation!) schedule have been off-the-chart nuts this summer. It just figures... after the car was away for so long, I get it back, and then I don't have enough time to use it!

I just got back last night from a work trip to Palo Alto, and will have to work this weekend (what's up with that?!), and won't be able to do a morning drive. The wife is hoping we can go for a quick run on Sunday evening, but that's dependent on how my work goes...

Next weekend is the wife's birthday, then we're away camping the weekend after that. 8/16 is Monterey weekend, but for those (like myself) who are staying behind, I'd be very happy to run a drive and brunch! If not, definitely on the 23rd...

Any takers? Haven't seen quite a few of you in a long while...

Woot! Can't wait to see ya again, Mr. B!

Orrie

 

I'm so looking forward to this weekend's drive!

We were camping this weekend in Watsonville, and headed back yesterday morning. Knowing that Monterey Car Week was starting up, I knew we'd see some beauties headed in the opposite direction, and was not disappointed! Saw a few 360s, 458, R8 Spider, AM V8 Vantage, and plenty more before we even got out of Santa Cruz...

I hope whomever hasn't gone down there for the week will come and join us this weekend for our meet and drive, meeting at 7:30ish at the usual EDH spot and departing at 8:00. It won't be a huge drive (Wentworth/Icehouse will be the drive AFTER this weekend!), and we'll have a brunch afterwards.

See you then!
Orrie

 

Can't wait to see you, Nate!!! Been forever since we've shared pavement together!

Hey Dave B - what are the boys doing that morning?

Absolutely, DB, bring the Tesla! Corrie may pass on riding with me for the day, however, as she's lusting after a Model S... So you may have an extra passenger!

Great drive on Saturday, folks!

We had 4 cars, with a total of 6 people, in attendance, for one of the most wonderful runs we've done. The weather was perfect - not too hot! - and the roads were mostly empty! We had a few stops to stretch out on our 110-mile journey through the foothills, and what drive would be complete without a blast through a tunnel, right before a delicious lunch?

Thanks to everybody who came - as I told my passenger all throughout the day, I knew all of you so well, and never worried for any of us - not that it stopped me from checking my mirror all the time to make sure we were all together and well! Sharing the road with you is an absolute pleasure.

On our next drive, I'd like to open it up to more sports cars, so those of you with friends who have Boxsters, Vipers, S2000s, and so on, bring them along! That drive is scheduled for September 6th. I'm bringing the Mrs. along, feel free to bring your spouses, as well. We'll end up at the winery in Plymouth, and I'll select a fun (but not overly long) route to get us there. As always, recommendations and assistance in any form is welcome!

Hope you and some friends come out for another beautiful day on the spectacular roads that we are so blessed to live so close to!

No worries! Robert wants to get a ride in your car sometime, if you don't mind... When he first had a ride in mine, he commented something along the lines of, "I kinda expected it to be a little... faster." I don't think he'd feel the same way in yours! And he LOVED the sound of it, and wished we'd been behind you for segments of the drive!

 

He's extremely excited, already!

Folks, if you haven't received an email asking if you're available to show your cars at the California Capital Airshow, ES has made a request for more of a Ferrari presence at the show.

From their email: [Cars will] be on display in a total of five secure and cordoned areas. We have room for about 15 more vehicles. These will be manned with car enthusiasts/owners during the show hours while Airshow marshals patrol our static displays. For those that choose to leave vehicles over night, we have enhanced security provision in addition to patrolling Airshow marshals. Board members for the California Capital Airshow are offering admission tickets, VIP status, and photo ops (aircraft and vehicles) to our participants. This event will be on September 6-7.

If you are interested in showing your car either (or both) days, please contact myself ASAP, and I can put you in contact with those running this aspect of the Airshow!
