Default Angeles Crest Part II - June 12, 2011

Back by popular demand.

Same time schedule as last time, only this time we'll send a spotter car up first to make sure the fuzz isn't busting people for no front plate. IF YOU HAVE A WALKIE TALKIE, BRING IT SO WE CAN COMMUNICATE AND HALF THE GROUP DOESN'T THINK THE ROAD IS CLOSED!

Here is the schedule:

The plan is to meet up at Vons in La Canada at 11:45a.m. The address is:

635 W Foothill Blvd
La Canada, CA 91011

We'll leave the lot at 12:30p.m.

Here is the new route.

After the drive we're heading to Fuddruckers at Ontario Mills for lunch. We should arrive between 3:00p.m. and 3:30p.m.

The road is freshly paved and the drive is incredible:


See you all Sunday!

Here is a link to the original thread.

I'm changing from a "yes" to a "tentative" due to my transmission taking a crap.

I was kinda expecting it. Just needed to last long enough for the break-in and Invasion. It was randomly taking a crap before the motor build. Hopefully it'll be up and running again soon.

Put a working "built" transmission in and a stock torque converter yesterday. It's alive! I'm in, pending review of my fuel budget.

EDIT: And work schedule...

Yeah. First run was a red light due to me not being familiar with the aftermarket converter it had (inched over the starting line when stalling it up). Trapped 103MPH that run. Figured OK, I just screwed up the launch from the stall and following redlight psyching me out. Ran again, did everything "right", got a .33x RT, but trapped 104MPH with a 13.5 ET . Decided that there was no point running it after that second run since I don't have HPTuners to log the data and figure out what was going on and/or retune it. The last time I was there I was trapping 108-110MPH, same weight, and with less mods.

Oh hell yes. Can't wait to see how well your car handles with that suspension setup.

Looks like there were 2 fatal accidents the other day on ACH due to guys hauling *** up there. One was a 2007Honda the report said. CHP will be all over the place. If youre up there expect to cruise 25mph cuz they will be like flies on $hit.

Yup, I'd say aggressive driving up there this weekend is out of the question. Unless someone wants to slowly stroll up the mountains it'll be a waste of time and too risky for canyon carvers.
