Check out this post for more information.

The meet starts at 2pm at the below location. We will leave there around 2:30 to 2:45. 2:30 if nobody has called me saying they are still on their way. At Grant Ranch my wife will have a BBQ going. I have Hamburgers, Hotdogs, chips, and Sodas ready for the BBQ. There is an 8 mile drive from the below location to Grant Ranch, and that's 8 miles of alot of really nice curves and corners.

For People showing up a few minutes late call me at 408-393-7005 to let me know so that we don't take off without you. The ranger doesn't know if they will be chargeing that day so bring $4 per car to get in.

HOPE THERE'S A DECENT TURN OUT.

Okay guys. Here's the Address of the parking lot where we will be meeting.

3457 McKee Road
San Jose, California 95127

And here are the basic directions.

From Highway 680 exit East McKee Road. Go East on McKee Road. Pass two stop lights, Capitol Expressway and White Road. After passing White Road it should be about 1\2 mile on you're left hand side. There is a third light which is at the entrance to the shopping center. So if all else fails, when getting off the freeway go East, and make a left turn at the Third Stop light and that will place you inside the shopping center.

There will be pleny of grub.

knghtryde · 10-30-2003, 03:15 PM

It was original Set for Sunday, when I first placed the post but I got alot of Emails saying that they would perfer a Saturday Meet.

It is really to close to change, and I already set everything up around Saturday at 2pm.

I hope it doesn't cause to much of a problem... I was aware of Halloween being the day before that's why I set it up for later in the Day.

And hey... who wouldn't like free food and drinks...

yeah i saw the same thing...hoping for no rain..

knghtryde · 10-30-2003, 03:40 PM

I hope it doesn't rain. It says that it won't be raining on Saturday. I'll still go to the parking lot just in case people still show up. I 'm not gonna stand anyone up. But if it rains I'll just throw a small BBQ at my house for those who still show up.

knghtryde · 10-31-2003, 09:31 AM

After last night, I'm really praying that it doesn't rain tomorrow.

knghtryde · 10-31-2003, 02:41 PM

SHOULD WE???? reschedule the meet for tomorrow. It just started raining really hard at my work. I just looked out the window and it isn't plesant out there. It doesn't matter one way or another to me, I just want to know what people think.

Or should I call the park and see if they are even going to be open. Let me know what you guys think right away.

Thanks Guys. David.

:hammer:

Var · 10-31-2003, 04:37 PM

Im still down.. should i show up or are you cancelling it? I'd actually love to drive the road rain or shine. I've never been there before. The current information is still November 1st right? Ill meet up at the mall..Should i bring anything?

stock4door · 10-31-2003, 07:39 PM

The rain is supposed to have passed through the bay area by tomorrow.

s13chica · 11-01-2003, 12:24 PM

Looks like another beautiful day in the bay area...looking forward to seeing everyone in a few hours!

NinjaGaiden · 11-01-2003, 07:44 PM

Thanks for setting up the meet knghtryde and the food.

Next time, we should all bring some food or pitch in $5 for food. It was a great drive up and down and it was nice meeting everyone. We'll have to do it again. Take it easy guys.

TRUENOCOUPE · 11-01-2003, 09:25 PM

Thanks for the food. I know I was late... I Intend to be late since I hate to chit chat and stand around bickering with each other.

Atleast I know my Suburban can handle at the hills. hahahah

Andrew Bohan · 11-01-2003, 11:15 PM

today's meet was a lot more social than the one at d&b's... that one was weird

i think it was all because of my nametags

btw thanks for the food david. it was good! tell your wife thanks too!

dvdevo · 11-02-2003, 12:25 AM

yeah this meet was coo. thanks david. well it was more social becuase its smaller.

Var · 11-02-2003, 04:24 AM

Dave...thanks for the food and introducing me to a new mountain pass...that road was friggin crazy bro. it was like playing initial D.. me and Will did like 4 more runs @ warp speed after everyone else left. It was a fuckin phat "touge style i wish i had a camera" type run.. Im still hyped over it. I hope to see you at the next meet and ill definitely pitch in money for the food next time.

s13chica · 11-02-2003, 12:52 PM

It was really nice to hang out with everyone...meet new people, and see old faces. That road was pretty fun...although a times it was a little skinnier than I would have liked it to be.

The ride home was sad because we got stuck behind a car doing like 10mph...oh well.

Thanks again for everything...

boro240sx · 11-02-2003, 03:08 PM

Thanx alot David when me and westboroughpimp went for a few more runs we wre gettin faster everytime im redy 4 a run any day

knghtryde · 11-03-2003, 09:32 AM

Great meet guys, and I'm glad everyone who showed up did. It was small but it did have a decent turn out. I now atleast 9 cars stuck around for the run down the hill and the run you guys took back up. It was nine cars that came down quimpy.

We really need to do another one just like this one at the park up Calavaras with some more cars. Me, my wife, and my brother will work on setting that one up in the next couple of months so just keep a look out for a post from me.

For all the San Jose guys who wanted to hook up just hit me up on my Yahoo Email. [email protected]

Thanks Again Guys. And it was great meeting everyone.

CustomS14A · 11-03-2003, 10:17 AM

i have the red AUTO kouki. I went to drive up quinbee road once i started to drive it started to rain so i went for it anyways, after around 6 or so close calls i finaley hit BOOM hit the back ,right side of my car and then drove away didnt even look at my car, drove to the parking lot where we meet up got out of my car and guess what only the tire was dirty and had some grass stuck in the wheel.

NinjaGaiden · 11-03-2003, 11:14 AM

you are very very lucky.

I went last night to HWY 9. I noticed the road was wet, went around one turn, the back started to give, countered steered right away and regained control. Made a new rule to never drive hard when its wet and turned around. On the way back a cop passed by too. Anyways, yeah our cars are not meant to be driven hard when its wet.

knghtryde · 11-04-2003, 09:35 AM

CustomS14A,

Hit me up with your personal info so we can go for a drive sometime. Also, What's the Zilvia Name of the other guy. I can't remember his name White S14.

My brother wants to do some driving.

Hit me up on my Email you guys [email protected]
