Hey, everyone!
Alright, since the Gallop(werd to yo mutha), I've heard many people talk and seen many posts as to how we should have another cruise in the near future. I've decided to spearhead a cruise/GTG to make sure that we have one before the big CaFords show in Aug. Well, here y'all go, try this on.
The date will be SUNDAY, JUNE 17TH. We will meet in DUBLIN, in the SAFEWAY PARKING LOT at TASSAJARA/DUBLIN Blvd'S AT 9AM. I know some of you are like "WTF-9am? ![[Confused]](confused.gif) ". The reason I have it so early on a Sunday is that: 1.)Minimal traffic 2.)Johnny Law should not be out in force and 3.)It's the best time to roll through the scenic hills of the Altamont. I assure all of you that this cruise will be entertaining and worth getting your hungover a**'s out of the bed ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) . Here's the rest.
We leave the lot after chillin' for a few(about 930). We'll head down Tassajara towards San Ramon and turn off into the "hills" about 3-4 miles down. From there we'll take the backroads, very country, to the east side of Livermore where we'll meet up again in a Safeway lot on Vasco Rd. There's a Starbuck's and other food places right there for a *QUICK* coffee or munchie. From there we'll drive through the Altamont Pass via backroads NOT the freeway. We'll meet up again near Mountain House(205/580) and then head back via the freeway to the Dublin Hooters for lunch. This cruise will have long staightaways, killer twisties, and freeway cruising all in one trip. The hills are scenic and there will be minimal if any other cars or cops out there. The cruise will be about 40-50 miles total so make sure your tank has enough 100 octane(I will). As I said, there are twisties where we can have some really good fun, but PLEASE KNOW YOUR OWN AND YOUR CAR'S LIMITATIONS for obvious reasons ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) . We should be able to stay together without a problem so, as I said, this will be cool. I've taken my car several times on this route just for fun and have done it with small groups as well. I think you all will enjoy. Trust me.
Cya'll there. Let's get a roster of who plans to attend. It'd be cool if some of you Sac guys could make it...it'll be worth the drive down.
Oh, and BTW, this cruise is mainly for us FORD lovers, but ALL AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS are invited. So 'Vettes, 'Maros, F-birds, etc, bring your ride if ya want. I'm not gonna post this on their websites, so it'll have to be word of mouth for them. However, If ya got a bada** Porsche, Beemer, Ferrari, or someting of that nature, I suppose exceptions can be made ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ...but rest assured anything with the words Vee or Tech or anything resembling that/those will be denied entry . I'll post more as it gets closer...only about 3 weeks, peeps!

From Elk Grove you're lookin' at about a hour and some change...give or take. Take I-5 South to I-580 West exit Tassajara. If you're on the road by 7:30 you'll have no probs ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif) .

I know those roads well. If you haven't gone driving in that area before, you should go. You will really enjoy the ride.
Just make sure you leave space between you and the guy in front-don't tailgate. You don't want to customize your front end and his back end should he stab the brakes

Hey, What's up, dude? Long time. I hope you can bring the Viper out for the cruise, it's in our 'hood
Yeah, you are absolutely correct. I hope everyone gets there pretty much on time so we can have a briefing on how to stay safe out there. This should be fun ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)
