Exclamation Sacramento Area Twisties 9/28/08

It's that time again where we take our cars up to the mountains and get to know the curves. I would like to know how many people can make it on Sunday the 28th of this month...

Bertolluci's is having a car show in the morning until 2pm, so I was planning on us meeting there and going up to the hills afterwards.

I would like to know who all can make it to see what kind of run to do, so please sign up below and hopfully by Tuesday I will have a couple routes up for people to vote on.

I may be down for this, I'm in the bay until late Friday so we shall see. By that Sunday I would have been out on training for 3 weeks (plus making production changes to our core routers on Saturday), I'm not 100% sure how I'll feel on Sunday.

What mountains, how far, how long, how much concentration is needed. Oh and the big question, what is the likelihood of getting a moving violation of some sort

time is usually an hour or two with a couple of refresher stops. only 75% of your concentration will be needed at all times.

we've only had one cop turn his lights on at us... thankfully the road was too narrow for him to turn around.
