ForesterXT Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Set your calendars for an epic driving event on May 13th. It's going to start in Novato, and there will be two groups: 1. Touring and Tasting group - we will have a pleasant drive throughout the Napa Valley, occasional stops at wineries, a lunch break to refresh, and an enjoyable tour of Napa and Sonoma valleys ending between Santa Rosa and Windsor at a BBQ location. 2. Drivers Group - not for the faint of heart, the weak of stomach, or people who believe they are driving fast when they're @ or below the speed limit. This will be an enjoyable quick-paced tour. There will be basic stops for fuel at predetermined locations, a short lunch break (read 30 minutes or less), and a LOT of backroads to be explored. The route itself is still being planned out for the least travelled roads in Northern California including Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake Counties. This will be for those of you NOT concerned about expending a little fuel while having fun. Because of this, there will be NO STOPS FOR WINE TASTING!! The drivers group will end at the same park for the BBQ, hopefully not too far ahead/behind of the touring group. Anyone who is interested, please email me at: marin.subaru @ comcast . net (remove spaces, of course). There will be a $4 (or maybe $5) parking fee at the park, and a $5/person for the BBQ, to help offset the costs. BTW, this IS open to Subarus of different varieties. I'm catering to the Foresters (obviously by my name) and the Legacies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSix Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 ^^^^^^^^^^ I gotta do the Touring/Tasting group. I'll probably be bringing my woman and my mutt. They aren't too crazy about fast driving on twisties. Give a man a beer, and he'll waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, and he'll waste a lifetime.

RippinRoo Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Its in Mexico. That would be a loooong way... Moving the wedding date probably wouldn't fly either, eh?

BKRacer Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 That sounds like a lot of fun! The non wine tasting ebvent that is! The other day I saw a crew of WRX's tearing it up. Finally some legacy drivers will be out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForesterXT Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 of last years' event. Mind you, last year it was a Forester only event, but this year we're opening it up to the Legacies, and a few select other Subies. There MIGHT be a couple of straggling (NOT) others, since I do know some Miata enthusiasts who have cars prepped for this sort of thing... Enjoy: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SubaruForester/NorCal%20Meet/P1010418copy.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SubaruForester/NorCal%20Meet/DSCN0007copy.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SubaruForester/NorCal%20Meet/P1010421copy.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SubaruForester/NorCal%20Meet/P1010390copy.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SubaruForester/NorCal%20Meet/P1010463.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SubaruForester/NorCal%20Meet/P1010478copy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Are non-Subarus allowed?? My roomies have an RSX and Porsche 944. I have nothing special, so I'll ride with them. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreoSTi Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Mind you, last year it was a Forester only event, but this year we're opening it up to the Legacies, and a few select other Subies. Looks like I'm covered either way. However, it looks like I have finals starting the following week... So I'll have to wait and see how much I care about exams by then. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Specb122 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'm not sure sounds like subaru specific but if it is opened up to other cars I have a lexus IS 300 that might want to join in on the fun. He has paddle shifters so he's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForesterXT Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 It's Subaru specific. Sorry, I would like to have Subarus only at this event (with the exceptions of a FEW that I know personally), that way, we can keep this event small, and off the radar of law enforcement.

ForesterXT Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 BTW, there will be a test road for everyone to go on before they come to the meeting point. It'll give you a good idea which group you want to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanders Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hey Greg, I hope to be able to make it. As long as I don't have to relocate to LA. Yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForesterXT Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 now thats what i call a "meat"! Well, this time it gets even better. I have a friend who created a Guamanian style BBQ sauce (has won numerous awards), and he's agreed to come up here and BBQ for us. I'm supplying him with a few nights at the hotel where I work, and some gas money, and he's going to come on up and take care of the meet/meat. I'm also looking around in my Subaru contacts to find a photographer who will be able to hide out on sections of the route, and take action photographs of you guys. If I secure one, we might have someone who can print up photos (enlarged) for a fee at the end of the day. Good way to get your car in a good action shot. :) BTW, anyone who is travelling from parts south (L.A. area Foresters are well represented by at least 4 coming), PLEASE let me know soon. I work at a hotel, and need to figure out how many rooms I need to reserve to get a group discount rate on the Friday/Saturday night there. Right now, I have 5 rooms reserved.
