SAN DIEGO BEACH HOUSE RUN - Sat. Aug 27

[Pam]

We were just talking to Richard and he said maybe he can lead a little run inland on some interesting roads after Cars and Coffee (we suspect everyone will probably start leaving that about 8:30 but don't know???) to fill up some time with a little fun until we can get into the restaurant.  So, those interested, be there by 9AM; we'll not leave before then!  Just another possibility to enjoy your Vipers this Saturday!  - Pam

Can Richard also arrange for a traffic break on the 5 so I can make it down there in time   >v

After looking at my time schedule for Sat, it looks like my best bet is to drive down early for the Carlsbad Car show, then I'll make the quick dash back home opposite of all the traffic.

See you guys in the morning !

Lance.

Glad to see you made it for the early AM cars and coffee.

After the C&C we were lead by Richard P. along the back roads of Rancho Santa Fe, through the Elfin Forrest, and around and through the small villages on the shores of Lake Hodges.

We ended up with a short run down the Pacific Ocean shore line, and arrived just in time for a nice brunch at the Beach House Restaurant.

It was great to have Mr. Marv Spatz, the President of the VCA to speak at the Brunch. He updated us on the latest happenings at VCA, and the much anticipated next generation Viper!...Thanks Marv.

Hard to find a better way to cruise with your Viper Buddies.

Coming out early was definitely the right choice.  No traffic heading down or back.  Spent the rest of the day getting our daughter settled in and enjoyed every minute of it.  Brought back many memories of years past.

Seeing all the SD Members was also great.  The last time I was in Carlsbad, OGO was leading the pack....still miss him.

Here are a few of the pictures I took.  














This is a great picture from Paul.   You can smell the ocean air and feel the cool breeze on your face.

I would like to thank all of you who came to the Beach House run Saturday.  Lance rose above & beyond the call of duty to show up at the Cars & Coffee; Marv was sorry to miss his visit but we all agreed that the importance of getting the kids moved on to college is one of life's most important events.
 
Thanks go to Paul Hawker for doing the introductions at the lunch.  We had Marv Spatz (VCA President) and his wife, Susan, as well as Mike Currasco (Viper mechanic) and his wife, and Randy Begin (also in business to repair all vehicles & Vipers) with his wife, Sue.  About 20 of us were at lunch and enjoyed the updating on Vipers from Marv.

The Go Carting fizzled when we found out we'd have a 3 hour wait since they wouldn't reserve a time for a group of less than 8, but that all worked out OK in the end.  Several of the guys are getting together this Wednesday evening at the carting place in San Diego and the Begins were celebrating their 17th Wedding Anniversary (Congratulations!) and were eager to get to that heart shaped jacuzzi at their suite.

It's always fun to join with other members of SoCal Vipers.  You've all become like old friends!  - Pam, SoCal Social Director  <1
