Club Members,
We all are feeling a loss of our good friend OGO, Dave Cawthorne. For a lot of us he was the first friend we had in the So Cal Viper Nest. His passion was his Great Pumpkin Run every fall before the weather changed up into the San Jancinto Mtns. This event was scheduled for October 24, 2009, but has been changed to have a day of remembrance of Dave and his family at Willow Springs.
The possibility of doing Dave's Run in early October is there. I am sure Dave would approve, right PCH VIPER? Last year I went on this run in May an had a blast. I would suggest that we see what kind of interest there is in inagurating this Annual Run in Dave's Memory and hold it on October 3, 2009?
DAVE'S RUN - AKA; Great Pumpkin Run to Idyllwild
A Dave Cawthorne and Richard Palkovic special...

Please let sign in and if we get enough commitments, it will happen. Nothing wrong with having a Viper event when there is enthusiasm.
That sounds good to me. So far I am available on Oct. 3. Count me in.
I just erased some stuff off Lori's calendar >l

I assume if we get the minimum of 10 snakes, we are happening? Right ViperX?
What a great idea. Oops, now you are going to have another 200 mi's on the green machine .... what are you going to do?
Hemotox,
As you know, I'd rather drive my Viper than do almost anything else!
I'll be at the track at Fontana Sept 19 & 20, Coronado Speed Festival Sept 27, this run on Oct 3 (if we get enough interest), Willow Springs with Speed Ventures Oct 10 &11, Willow Springs Oct 24 (Dave's Run), Willow Springs Oct 31 & Nov 1 Pantera Club, Car Control Clinic Nov 7, Speed Ventures Nov 21 & 22, whew, busy fall driving =15 schedule.
The ACR will stay dirty ..... for a while.
Let's see how much interest this develops.

Take it to PCH VIPER's garage and put it up on blacks and run it in reveerse like "Ferris Beuhler's Day Off"
At you in EXHLR8N?
We need 10 snakes then the Viper Gods will bless us. Maybe even get the Hawai'ian Pele to bless the run.
Hey Doc,
Add the original pumpkin to the list I will do the drive for OGO. We are getting closer to 10 Vipers
right, woowoo! >r

I guess I could trailer the SSG out to Richie's and drive it from there??? >w
Rumor has it you could buy the new Mopar controller, swap it into the car, drive it like you stole it for a couple of years, then swap the OE controller back in and sell it ..... and those miles with the Mopar controller in the car would be freebies!
.....but this is just a rumor.....

Well, I guess I could trailer it to Idyllwild, unload it and park it next to JoAnn's meet you guys and then trailer it back to West LA??? >g That would be less than a mile on the wheels.

Okay,
lets get back to interest in the Pumpkin Cawthorne Run on October 3, 09 Murietta to Idyllwild.
Can't figure it out, but I just had the urge to post this image.... I don't know why?
(http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm287/AtomicGT/green-viper-snake.jpg)
looks like there is a track day on this date, so lets close this event perspective and plan on doing a Dave's run next fall or after the first of the year?
Let's do it!!!!!!! Yeloone in for two.
Paul & Teresa will be there.
Bringing something Red and Fast. <m
Is there a revival of this run? Sat Oct 3, 09. Meet at Flo's Chino Airport, breakfast at 8AM- 9 AM, then head out towards Banning, off the 243 then up to Idyllwild for lunch at Julie's ? Folage should be excellent this time of year barring and local fires!
Original Root has indicated he may be up for this. If there are some of the So Cal Viper club interested leave a post, if we get enough, then it will happen. Pick up cruise.
Doc,
About 20 of us will be running the track at Club Spring Mountain on Oct 3.
See the track section for more info.
Have fun,
Dan <2
I need to clarify! Mary and I are in for Dave's run. Is it on?
Any idea of the count?
yeloone
Give us a couple of days. We can only go on who opens the web site. So far, it is you and me, maybe OriginalRoot. If no one else, lets hold off and reschedule. If we don't have major club support it won't go well. How ever said, a nice run with a few vipers sounds acceptable to me. I will rustle the Viper nest and see if anyone wakes up. We have the Spring Mtn races to compete with.
<2 Looks like this run is being changed to Sunday the 4th.
Teresa and I will be there. =14
Mr Fangs, Raceyellow Richard.
Looks like my only day free this weekend is Oct 3rd, Saturday for the run. I am on call at UCLA on Sunday for trauma. Also have a local daughter event, so the only day for me is Saturday. OriginalRoot is also available on Saturday.
If you can change it for Saturday, lets do the following. Murrietta is a ways for us coming from West LA. We (west LA vipers) could have breakfast at Flo's , Chino airport, you guys meet at the diner in Murrietta. We then plan on meeting at 9:30-10:00 at the 243 offramp of the I-10 in Banning, for a run up the mountain on the Pines to Palms Highway into Idyllwild for lunch? We would avoid Oak Glen as it recently had a fire and we were just there last month.
If this works out, I can do it, if not, I can make the next run no problem.
EJ
<o Hi Kids, I've got a Recording Session Sunday, <u Saturday is the only day this weekend I have Free, =16
Mr Fangs and Raceyellow Richard,
What do you guys want to do, us West LA guys can't make Sunday? <2
O> BUELLER ... .. . BUELLER ... .. . BUELLER >l
OriginalRoot,
Looks like we have lost all communication with the SD Viper guys. Guess they are not up for a Sat run. Too bad, I am bringing a pumpkin to leave on a rock or pedestal as a tribute to OGO. We can place this somewhere in the hills on the way up to the top of the mountain.
You know, the SD guys could run both days if they wanted too!
