  • Official SCPOC Meet: Angeles Crest Highway - May 18, 2014

    Alright, now that we've moved past our Fabulous Fords hangover, it's time for one of the BEST SCPOC meets of the year!

    The Angeles Crest run is always one of my favorites meets and I usually can't wait to post up the details, but wind up having to wait for the road to open after the normal winter closures. Well, since this past winter was unusually warm, the road had been opened much sooner than before, so we can have the meet at our usual mid-month time!

    On to the details:

    Event: Angeles Crest Highway
    Date: Sunday - May 18, 2014
    Start time: Approximately 10:00 AM
    Meeting Location: Ralph's - La Canada/Flintridge

    We'll meet up at the new location spot, the Ralph's parking lot, at 10AM.

    The address to the Ralph's is:

    Ralph's
    521 Foothill Boulevard
    La Canada Flintridge, CA 91011

    We'll leave for ACH no later than 10:30AM - you should be ready, in your vehicle, and set to go. If not, we can make a fuel stop at the Chevron just before heading up onto the ACH a couple of blocks away, but please be courteous enough to fuel up beforehand. There are restrooms at the gas station if you need to go before the cruise starts.

    The cruise will start along Angeles Crest Highway, then we'll take a turn up to Mount Wilson. Once we get to the top, we'll stop for a few pics, then come return and head down ACH until we get to Islip Saddle, where ACH meets with SR-39.

    The back half of ACH is open, so we'll get to enjoy the trip through to Wrightwood, before turning off onto SR-138 and then off to I-15.

    We can head south on the 15 and grab a bite to eat at The Hat in Ontario.

    The address to The Hat is:

    The Hat
    8030 Monet Ave
    Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739

    If you can't make the cruise, meet us there to hang out! We should be there around 2:00pm at the latest.

    If you haven't been on an Angeles Crest cruise, this will be a GREAT drive and one that you will enjoy!


    *Note* - If for whatever reason, the road past the junction of SR-2 and SR-39 [aka Islip Saddle] is not open, we will turn back and have lunch at Newcomb's Ranch.

    What we would appreciate you bringing:
    • FRS radio - we will establish the channel at the meet location
    • Good attitude
    • Driving safety in mind


    REMINDER: SCPOC has some minor rules regarding driving habits while on club function drives. Safety is EXTREMELY important. You may have some stints of hard driving here and there but nothing over the top. The majority of the drive will be at a reasonable speed for the course and a minimum safe following distance between cars will be enforced. The maximum speed limit on ACH is 55 mph and believe me, this limit is fast enough for the majority of these turns; there will be NO excessive driving permitted.

    Hope to see you all there!

          it figures that I'd have to go out of town the time I can attend the meet.
          Enjoy the cruise without me.

                        We all wondered what happened to you. Should have said something on the way back.

                          I was following you and then , I looked the wideband gauge ( since my fuel gauge is NOT working) and the wideband was showing very lean. By the time I understood what's going on, all the cars passed me and I start rolling all the way to the first exit by following a semi. Thanks a God I had 2 gal of gas with me. I put the gas, hooked up my laptop again, changed the tune and the car start working fine again. Drove 60 miles back home with no problem.
                          I did not have anybody's cell to call and say what happened, but everything is ok. Will see you guys on the next trip.

                              what do you guys think about having a meet that isn't a cruise? her idea was to have the next meet involve miniature golf down in anaheim [the place is just off the 91 and the 57]. i have the date already set: it's a sunday.

                              let me know what you guys think.
