Summer is here, and it's time to start thinking about driving that car the way it was meant to be driven. Yes, it's time again for the annual Ortega Highway Fun Run and BBQ!!! This is a full featured event, enjoyed by many over the years, and it's FREE!
Saturday August 18.
Once again we will do the Ortega Highway Run. This run is always a blast, and with the now repaired and paved roads, it is even more fun. The scenery is amazing, and the roads are twisty. What more could you ask for?
I HIGHLY recommend having a radar detector for this. We tend to move along at a brisk pace, and so you need to be on the lookout for the local constabulary. Co-Pilots are more than welcome, and highly encouraged. This is an open event. Wives and significant others are welcome too.
We will again start at the Coffee and Cars very early. If you haven't done this, it is a MUST SEE. I will arrange for special group parking for our group. Arrive by 6:30 if you want to park with us. Once we all get parked, feel free to wander around and see some of the most amazing cars you will ever see in one place at one time. Bring your camera.
We will then have a brief driver's meeting at our area at 8:15, where I will hand out directions, maps, and all that stuff.
We will be departing there at 8:30 sharp for the run.
As always, there will be something special to amuse us along the way. Co-pilots make this a whole lot easier, so bring somebody along.
The course will likely be similar to the last 2 years. We will again stop at Starbuck's in Corona at the half way point and gather together, pick up stragglers, grab a drink, and then head on again. There are no other stops planned.
The entire run takes about 3 hours. We should be back at my house about 11:30 or so where we will all go back and I will burn some dead animal flesh for everybody, hang out in the new outdoor living room and barbeque bar, and open the well stocked fridge in the Garage Mahal. I may even break out the Margarator!
It's generally quite warm, so dress accordingly. For you cab drivers, I recommend a hat and water be in the car with you. Sunblock isn't a bad idea either. This is definitely a run that is AC friendly.
Everything for the barbecue is provided. All I need is a head count.
For those who might be coming from a distance, I can put a few people up here. Contact me for details.
