Nice seeing everyone that showed.

Nice pictures Paul! I will be uploading mine soon as well, just need to edit the plates. I can't wait for the videos, how much time did you end up recording Andrew?

christian370z · 10-23-2010, 04:17 PM

Thanks for showing up everyone, I am sorry about the weather not cooperating... Hopefully the weather figures itself out by our next run! I think that the Rockstore took our pictures so I will check those when they get it up. I wish I took more, but here is my contribution:

I am sooo happy the sun came out on the way back after we stopped the run.

Rolled over 2,000 miles really good miles

Looking good. Even though short, I'm sure it was nice to be out there with little to no traffic. Did you all end up hitting Yerba Buena? And if so, did you go down the mountain ending on PCH or up the mountain starting from PCH?

Unfortunately, we did not Diori. It was getting really slick once we got to the intersection of Kanan and Mulholland. At that point, it was all for the better when we called it quits.

Next time though! I have some more ideas for routes; tradervic and I talked about various routes so that should be awesome.

Going up is the best way

That was fun for a short run. As cold it was outside, my oil temp was a little over 240degree!!! I guess an oil cooler is my next thing I'll buy for the car.

I'm surprise that camera guy was out so early.

christian370z · 10-23-2010, 08:18 PM

Having an oil cooler made all the difference for me. Last time, I was going in between 3rd and 4th and was not pushing the car that hard and my oil temps were sitting at 260 by the top of Piuma. This morning, I was really hammering on it in 2nd and 3rd and even though the rpms never went below 4k rpm, the oil temps never went higher than 200 degrees.

Keeping the engine cooler makes it much more responsive and punchy as well due to heat soak and the various disadvantages of the engine running hot. I think we caught the camera guy right when he got there since he scrambled to get my picture on the way back haha.

. I couldn't keep up. I was in 2nd gear most of the time and my oil temperature was staying at 220.

Hey Paul, you guys will get better, and you can't underestimate you guys ability, at least nobody lost it? Thats the most important thing.
