What sucks more is when you don't have any way to contact the people who got separated. I was starting to worry that something happened to them.

Will be within a mile of each other, if someone gets to far back they can still have signal, that some things up

is ojai like a 50 mile run?

Yes, it's a not a run to do every month.

oh man its that good?

One run, and you'll see if you still want to beat the crap out of your z more than that? Lol

sorry if i bug but sounds like a great run. haha the car will beat the crap outta me. Means I need to install me oil cooler asap.

Only if the weather's cool you can get by? any warmer and your in limp mode.

im going to install it over christmas break.Ill just look in the DYI section. Need a oil change to go with it.

Hey Chris, no meaning to leave you out of this, of course your included in these plans. Pm Tradervic and see whens a good time for ojai and we can do a small group. I'd say 5-7 car max with experienced drivers of course.

Thanks trips:tiphat:

I can see Chris, asleep at the keyboard, head tilted sideways and drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, Turn off the Camera!! Lol

What type of timing would you have in mind for this run, this month or January?

I'd be down, just let me know when so if it's during a weekday I can take leave, I'd prefer a Fri/Sat run though... :tup:

:icon17: What? :icon14:

Anytime after the First weekend of Jan (Jan 1-3) I'm good for it. I'm trying to get my Laser Surgery scheduled for End of Jan/Early Feb so sometime before that would be good.

LOL I think he meant Christian.

Ok, so maybe the 2nd weekend of January just to give some loose timing. Is the typical Ojai route Maricopa Hwy I take it? If so, that is a long run any way you look at it!

Yea, looks like 101 to the 33n to Maricopa

have a friday night meet up

I do like going into the Malibu Canyons at night though.

no no i meant we meet up at trips or someones house the night before.

Oh, my bad.

its all good :tiphat:

I'm up for it. I'll be working on my oil cooler before then.

Oil cooler makes a HUGE difference. When I was pushing it up GMR with Trips on my bumper, I was in 2nd gear most of the time with some 3rd and my oil temps only hit 220 and would not budge from there.

The first time I went in the canyons sans oil cooler, I was not really pushing the car in 3rd and 4th and yet I was hitting 260 degrees.

Hopefully we can push it at ojai and not have issues.

If we do a run in Jan and I can make it, hopefully the lower ambient temps will help keep the oil temps down. Won't be able to get a cooler till March. :shakes head:

why cant you make it?

Never said I couldn't... But I'm looking to get my laser surgery hopefully End of Jan/Beginning of Feb so I'd be out for maybe 2 weeks for that. So I'd be available before that, or afterwards... and if it's gonna be after, I'll just wait till after March so I can get my oil cooler sways and coils installed. :tup:

ohh lets us know a date so we can do it before.:tup:

I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow morning. Then I'll submit my packet to the clinic for final acceptance, then I can schedule my date to go.

I've been on Google Maps for the better part of my polysci class and it seems like you can easily be able to get by using mostly 3rd and 4th (maybe even 5th) so you can use lower gears and simply keep your momentum up without winding the car out all the time.

Chris: we will plan for the 2nd week of January which should slot in nicely with getting you in on some canyon action before you have your surgery. Tentatively, it would be on the 14th of January.

sounds like a dat chris ...wink wink

Sounds good br0! :tup:

Oh Joy!

dont forget dinner

what about maricopa to lockwood valley rd to forrest hwy to 166 south on 33 south? or continue on to 166 south till it ends on 101? that ones a loooong stretch

I've only been to Ojai once, middle of the hot *** summer, and it was on the motorcycle, and I was not leading. I have no idea what's the best way out and through and back, just know the 33 was like some kind of magical Shangri-La! I'm sure your route won't get much push back Trip.

I won't have my oil cooler by then either, but I don't think overheating will be a problem in Ojai in January.

we shouldnt have any issues with oil cooling

I think if its cool and we start early those without coolers will be ok.

6 am early

:iagree:
Plus marco ran ojai with no cooler at 90-100 degree weather.
