SoCal GT-R Cruise 3: Starts at 6:45 am Saturday at Cars and Coffee
Saturday, June 22, 2013
6:45am
Round 3! We are going to meet directly at Cars & Coffee on the top level of the Structure this time. We’ll have an insane photo shoot lined up on PCH which is about 5 miles from C&C around 8am. Once we’re satisfied there, we’ll cruise down to Vista, CA (if you’re interested in the full trek) for the HRE Open House. I really want to have as many as possible at C&C and the photo op in Laguna. We had 40 cars the first time, 52 on Invasion II and the goal is 75 for III.

On Sunday I joined a group of Datsun roadster owners for a nice morning drive up to Mt. Hamilton and down to Livermore. We had a very diverse gathering of cars with Mike’s 67.5 SPL, Ken’s KA24-powered ’69 SRL, Dave The Car Guy’s ’68 SRL, Eddie’s SR20-powered ’66 SPL, and the boosted Box Flare 510.
We met at the Alum Rock Road/130 junction ~8am and headed up to Mt. Hamilton. This section of road was super curvy with blind corners, endless switchbacks and the occasional cyclist. Here is a short clip from inside the 510 to give you an idea:
We reached Lick Observatory at ~9am for a break and to admire the view. Looking down at the Bay Area one can also appreciate the “Race Track” that HWY 130 provides:
The descent down 130 into the valley offers an entirely different driving and scenic experience. Long, fast sweepers with off-camber turns combined with out-of-state landscape surroundings makes us long for another visit! Here is another video from inside the 510:

The Mt. Shasta Datsun Roadster Meet will be held on July 11 to July 13 in the beautiful city of Shasta, CA. This year’s show has a few exciting changes:
-The car show is going to be on the city streets of Mt Shasta! The city has never closed a city street for a non-city event, so this is huge!
-Car show entrance is now open to ALL-Datsun/Nissans 1968-1973!
More information and registration ca be found HERE. Spread the word and make the trek for a memorable experience!
