3rd Annual Big Bear Run & Lunch

This is a very fun run, well worth the trip! We'll be going up the back way to Big Bear from the East side, makes for a better run, also less traffic - vehicles pull over for us to pass and give us a  <1 as we go by  ;D.  We have reservations for 50 for lunch at The Teddy Bear Restaurant 909 866 5415 after the run through the hills.

Pick the meeting place that best suits you and your schedule. Let us know where this will be and we won't leave without you.

Quick update ::) I made res for 50 people ;D to have lunch after our run thru the hills. Meeting places and time later.
We'll be going up the back way  ??? from the East side, makes for a better run, also less traffic.

Oh Great One  8) ^9 ^9 ^9

This is a fun route.

Dan 8)

Please include me and my wife (Alise) for the Big Bear Run.

Thank you.

Carleton

The back side is a great run for the Vipers. 
Sign me up too!

Lance

Count us in, should be fun!

I may can fit this in, I must say "Kudos" to the New Club Presidents and the administration of the web site.  Looks like there is quite a bit of activity happening, including long term planning of cruises.  I will come to this event only if RaceCars is nice to me!!!  Right Big Dave?

^6

Racecars,

Can we get the Baxters out for this one?

Not in this life time :)

Hey Eric,

Any chance you could email Greg and Melanie and try to get them to come out and play?  I know Greg's been very busy at work recently.  He could use some time relaxing.

Dan 8)

PS  If Dave is not nice to you, I'll hold him and you can hit him!

PPS  Dave's new call sign is, "Oh Great One".  Maybe if you call him that, he'll be nice?

I am pretty sure I will be at this one. Sounds like a nice ride. I will see if I can find a date as well   ^7 LOL... so maybe count me in as two.

Eric/Dan:

We can take a hint.

Put us in the count.

Greg and Melanie

Okay,

If the Baxter's are coming.  I am  in !   ;D

Dan there are a couple of other names I could come up with for Dave.  "Grand PooBaa"?  or my favorite  "Bhagwan of Big Brakes".  "Bhagwan" means Holy One, Inspired One, or Enlightened One, and that fits RaceCars fer sure!   ^9 ^9

Knealing is going to be tough on the asphalt when we meet the Bhagwan, I will bring some knealing mats!   ^7 ^7 ^7

Eric

Hey Greg,

Any interest in doing the Irvine PAG show this Saturday morning and then on to breakfast?

Dan <1

  Please add me to the Big Bear run.

  Thank you

Count me in Dan plus 1! Folks this is a great cruise through some wonderful scenery.

Eddie and Lance,  You guys want to caravan to the meeting point once they're established?

Hey Art.
Let me know where and I'll cruise with you.
Last year there were 3 meeting points, one in OC, 91/15 fwy and the last one in San Bernadino.

I'm looking forward to the Big Bear run....but with the way weather has been lately, we may need CHAINS!  ;D

Just kidding, of course! ;D 8) :)

Art & Lance count me in  Caravan ? 

Lance,

Where do you want to meet?  I can pick Eddie up and then meet up with you.  We can then decide if we're going straight to the San Bernardino meeting point or the OC point.

Let me know.

Please put Craig and Dolly on the list.

Niz + 1

Dave & Lisa wanna play, too!  Sign us up!

Is the Great One going to provide Hooters' Hostesses at lunch time???

Oh, BTW, the 01 GTS yellow coupe with the black stripes has never looked better following the Meguiar's class, it was looking great but even better now.  Not a scratch on it and the black stripes have that olde deep polish look.  It was an excellent day at Meguiar's!

I found a great web site that has microfiber towels that are the best I have ever used!

These are the Deluxe Blue Microfiber Polishing towels from Adams' Polishes.  If you scroll down you can buy them in packs of 6 towels.

http://www.adamspolishes.com/c-5-microfiber-products.aspx

they also have some incredible "butter wax".   ^6

PS

Bhagwan Dave, that is not a wax used for bikinis!

EJ

I have got to get this dayoff!  :'(

Hey Art and Eddie,
I can meet you guys somewhere in Cerritos, then we can head to the Irvine meeting place and cruise with all the others to the Riverside meeting place.
Let me know,
Lance

Yo Lance,

Just tell me where to be and what time to be there and it's on! 

Where's Eddie?

Come on Dave...take the day off, you can work double-time next Saturday! ;D

Hey Art, I know its a long drive up to Big Bear and we gotta keep you fed  ;D   
So let's meet in Cerritos at Hof's Hut for breakfast then shoot out on the 91 to meet the others in Riverside.
Be there for breakfast at 8.

Lance

WOOOOOOOO WHOOOOO!

I  got myself covered at work!

I will be there!

I will be bringing my MOM!!!!!!!!!! She is in from NC.

It will be her birthday and FIRST trip to Kalifornia!

C U at the OC meeting place!

 ^6

Here's a updated list <1

Oh Great One   ^9 ^9 ^9

Damn I'm Good ^9

Damn I'm Really Good ^9 ^9 ^9

Madam Prez    ^9

You Created a Monster <1 <1 <1

Happy Birthday RaceYellowRichard <1 <1

Anyone meeting at Jerry's Deli? If not I will just go to meet at the second location. Looking forward to getting out on another run...  ;D

Woohoo Dave!  Happy to hear you'll be able to join us!

Texas Venom,

You might want to check with Phil (Vypr Phil) to see if he's going to be at Jerry's Deli.  This is a great run!

I'm in!  I'll meet at Jerry's Deli as long as others will be there, of course.

Brent Kern

Hey Ms. Admin.,
Please add Tom and Shawn to the list.

Wouldn't miss it!
Randy & Diane

Well the first year we had 55 Vipers <1

so far we have 23 Vipers <1

Oh Great One  ^9 ^9 ^9

Looks like I may have to check out for this Saturday, have an event of one of my best friends in Mammoth Lakes on Friday night, makes it a big drive to get to Big Bear in time, and I leave for China on Monday.  Dave, have a beer for me!  not too many now!   ^9

EJ

Big Surprise after lunch I hope <1

Won't know until noon on Sat, stay tuned <1

Oh Great One  ^9 ^9 ^9

Pamela Anderson in a new SRT10 2008 Diamondback Viper???   ^1

Nice Dave, you do great work!

I'm pretty sure Dai & I can make this run...  ^1

We'll have to figure out where to meet up with everyone.

Anyone else going from Ventura County? Stephie or Rob?

I will be heading down that morning from Santa Barbara. If you want to meet up let me know. I am planning on going to the Marina Del Rey meeting point right now. That could change depending on if anyone else is meeting there. if not I will head on to the other meeting point. Let me know if you are interested in caravaning down.

Thom

I will be heading out from Simi Valley @6:30 AM.  I can meet up with Thom (and others?) at Hamshire Rd., off the 101, just past the 23 frwy, @6:40 AM.  Then, we'll head to Marina Del Rey.  I can give you my cell number in a personal email.

Also, I still need to be added to the list. 

Thanks,

Brent Kern

If Dave gurantees P Anderson, I will forgo my Mammoth Lakes Visit!   ^3

Hi Thom
MDR is so far out of the way for us, AND means I have to get up a lot earlier than I want to  :o
At this point I'm thinking about meeting everyone at Redlands... I think Stephie and Glenn are wanting to meet up over by the 5 fwy.

If anyone wants to bypass MDR, let me know, we can start a northern meeting area.

Thom, we could meet in Ojai, then cruise to maybe the 118 and the 5 fwy, meet up with Simi & TO people. Go across the 210 and meet everyone in Redlands...

Just a thought...

Please add Curt Dose' plus guest - with San Diego Viper Club. Thanks!

I can meet off of the 118 frwy, bypass MDR, and head to Redlands.^5

Weather for our Big Bear Bash

74'  & sunny <2 ^1

25 Vipers & 50 people <1 <1 <1

Oh Great One  ^9 ^9 ^9

Sure I will meet at the 118. Thats not a problem for me. I just didnt want to show up at MDR like last time and no one was there. It was a mad scramble trying to find the next meeting spot and get there in time. Lesson learned. ^4 ;D Its a good thing I didnt have a passenger with me that morning.  <3 This time is different. Trying to figure out which girl to bring.  ^2

Just let me know what time you two want to meet and I will be there. I have been looking forward to this one for a while.

Thom

Hey Ventura & Santa Barbara County People,

   WIKD VPR (Brent in Simi) & Texas Venom (Thom in Lompoc) & any others out there!

We are in Thousand Oaks and plan to head directly to the Redlands meeting point.  MDR and south is too much of a detour for this outing.  The 101 E to the 134 hauls ass on a Sat am - T.O to Redlands in about 90 min on the long side. <2  Talked with Kala (Ojai) earlier about meeting in Sylmar area (the 5 & 210) as a possible plan.  A little out-of-the-way for us, but we're flexible.  Let us know your thoughts about hooking up and running together. 

Come on you Ventura & Santa Barbara County Vipers, lets hear from you! ^2

Well I will let you guys make the call. I am not familiar enough with the area to make any decisions. I can find anywhere you want to meet at though. And any route we take that keeps us of the worlds longest parking lot (405) is good for me.  ^5 ^5 ^5  I prefer to drive my Viper not sit in traffic.    <2

Stephie lets talk Thursday night. I'll be looking at a map this time  <1 We'll figure out a route.

Call my cell, 231-8333, we're picking up the car from DC later Thursday, hopefully I'll be able to hear you  <9

So far we're thinking the 5 fwy, Roxford turnoff @ Denny's. Theres also a gas station in the same parking lot, if you need to fill up.. Before heading to Redlands...

How many are coming to the OC meeting place at Quaill Hill SB's?

I'm coming from Palmdale and will be meeting at Redlands also.
138 to 15 south.

See you there.


Carleton

Cathy and I will be at the OC stop.  Not sure how many others will be. ^2

I'm Back... .. . Thank You Cathy ^9 ,I think I'll Wright it Down This Time, Thanks Again, See You This Weekend, AND
I have Something With your Name On IT... .. .joel   Were Dooin The Mountain ^5

   Hey Gang, Melissa & I will see you guys for the cruise on Sat. if theres still time to jump on board!..Gary & Melissa Belvedere. 

I can meet you wherever to go directly to Redlands.  That sounds good.   <1  Just let me know by tomorrow afternoon.  I suspect I'll be meeting you all around 8 AM somewhere?

Thom

I got my car back last night...  ^2 ^2 ^2

Dan and Crew did an incredible job in a very short amount of time... They're awesome  ^9 ^9

AND most important I love the sound of the car  <1

Well sounds like everyone will have a Corsa except for me. Tomorrow will probably be the final selling point and I will have to break down and get one.  <1
See you in the morning...

Thom

Hey K,
Glad to hear you got the beast back! <1  Are you lovin' it?

Spoke with Thom this morning.  We are meeting at the Coffee Bean off the 23 Fwy. on Ave. De Los Arboles in Thousand Oaks at 7:45 then heading out the 118 to meet up with you guys in Sylmar at 8:30.  Anybody else that wants to meet up with us let us know.  We can always pick up any of the Simi people along the way.

Kala,
Glad to hear you got the car back on time.   What's the next mod?

Thom,
You'll definitely want DC to install the Corsa once you hear how sweet it sounds.

I'll be at the Coffee Bean at 7:45!  See you then!
Brent

If it's not too late to join, I'm in for tomorrow.  We'll meet at Jerry's Deli, Marina Del Rey.  OR is that no longer a meeting spot???? ???

LOL... The next Mod is Me! I'm gonna have a titanium mod, done to my Rt Foot, so I can challenge both Cathy's @ the track  <4 <2

After that I'm doing the DC Performance roll bar, and adding the Racelogic... We'll see from there  ^2

The cat back Corsa is actually a better mod than I would have thought... It sounds much, much better than stock!

See you guys in the morning... My cell is 805-231-8333... Dai's 805-657-3333

Too bad you have to work Joel  :-[   

As always, I'll be taking pictures, so you'll get to see what we fun we had.

See you at K-1 carts

Lance

Fun Run! Thanks soooooooo much!

We just got home... It was a fantastic run  ^2

Thanks to all that put it together.

I'll post our pix tomorrow

Yep that was a great run. Had a great time up until 7 miles from home. Got pulled over for a 62 in a 55 speeding ticket.  ^7 That sucked since it took me 4 and a half hours to get back. Get 10 minutes from your door and the CHP pulls you over. LOL Oh well. Looks like I will be taking defensive driving online...   <2

Thom
Great to meet you in Big Bear...

I have 2 words for you... They work for me...







Valentine one




Best Mod you can do  ^1

Sounds like Big Brakes D hit it out fo the park on this one!  Well done, Dave.  You ROCK!   <1

Hey Thom, that type of ticket is really a bummer.  Was it radar or was he pacing you?

Dan 8)

Texas Venom, you need a CHiPs Patrol star on your license, works every time!!!

Eric,

Tell us more about this Chips Patrol star.
