Figured I'd post a link up here, found these photos when looking through backups from a computer long since gone.

Xipher! Hope you've been well. That day in '09 feels like so long ago! I haven't looked at the pics from that day for quite a while. Mine's Road from San Jose to Livermore. Fun drive. I had a lot of trouble keeping up with everyone, having the only carb'ed car on the cruise. I seem to remember your tires howling in protest on every turn! 
Maybe someday, we can find enough of us in NorCal to do that road again. Then again, maybe enough of us can get our cars up and running again. 
Thanks for sharing.

Sadly, it might be a while before we can do Mines Road up Mt. Hamilton and the Lick Observatory. Area currently under evacuation due to fire started by lightning strikes. Lick Observatory currently being threatened.

Survivin!
Yeah, I burned up the front tires on that 626GT I was driving that day 
it was a bit of a boat, great in a straight line but not much else..
It looks like the observatory so far is doin' ok, fire sure did get close though...
I've got a CRX still, but... its had the engine and trans sitting on a hoist in front of it in my garage for years now, I don't have the time to do any work anymore and I'd pay to have it done but I don't know of anyone anywhere that'd even be willing to do the work, I can't even find basic parts, I'm close to selling it off to someone else who might already have parts cars and such and could use a clean roller with extra goodies on it.

I was behind your 626. Your tires howling and you really weren't taking the turns very hard. Ah, the entertainment one can hear in a Rex Spyder. Lick Observatory still standing - Reported that its buildings are being used as a fire lookout. The surrounding mountain area looks scorched as does some areas of Mines Road.
