Here are the few pics I was able to take. This was taken up at the view point during the drive. Sorry I couldnt take more pics during the meet.

Here's the video:
It's long though; 45 mins.

Key points would be about 2mins 35secs in when we just entered the road for the drive and there was a motorcycle cop to the right who just pulled someone over. He was walking back to his bike and stared right at me. I figured he was going to follow us and the drive was going to end pretty quickly.

Another key point would be about 8mins 30secs in when I almost rammed into Glock-357 and had to veer to the opposite lane and almost going head on with a 4Runner. Apparently the lead driver decided to stop around a blind corner and we almost had a major pile-up. haha Hmm...wasn't funny then.

Oh and some parts look slow because we ran into a couple of cars that just would not get out of the way. That was actually a blessing in disguise as we came across another CHP half way through the drive without his radar one. We probably would have all been nailed if this one Scion didn't hold us back up to that point.

Glock-357

We went from hauling arse to a dead stop in nothing flat. Did you see when I entered that corner before I went blind to you. I was on it and the next time you see me dead stopped. Man that was some sick reaction time on everyone's part...

You know ECF, in your maneuver is what saved everyone, albeit would not have been as good if that 4Runner was any further along in their route, but you pulling out not only saved my rear end, but the car in front of me, your rear and maybe even the car behind you and his rear.

Really as unsafe as a move as that was, that was probably the only right move at that point and saved all of our arses. You gave the pack the room to compress without hitting each other, but you took a big risk. Thanks for not plowing me brotha!!!

That could have been a lot uglier then it was.

Other than this little snafu, it was a good safe ride and a fun day.

My family and I had a blast. Thanks to all that pitched in and thanks to ECF and Mrs. ECF for organizing this great day in the park.

Good to see everyone.

That was definitely a really really close call and could have been disastrous. I think everyone got on the gas a bit because of that little straight away right before the blind corner.

I don't remember if my brakes locked up but I think I also swerved because I was afraid of the car behind me ramming into us even if I was able to stop right behind you. I don't even want to think of what could have happened if it was a few seconds more..

Anyway, the video on Vimeo is not as clear as the original since it was converted from an AVI file to MP4. Also, the original video was not that great cause we had sun reflections against the windshield. I also didn't configure the camera right so you can barely hear any sound; except when I was talking on my bluetooth. LOL!
