I am putting together a drive for May that will meet in Valencia (same place as last time) and take us thru the local roads to Ojai and possibly to Santa Barbara (if we agree on that long of a day). We will stop for lunch and take breaks along the way. The past trips have been sucessful with a good turnout and everybody seemed to be pretty happy with the route and enjoyed the scenery and driving. Let's get some input for the date (Sat or Sun, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd weekend of May) and find out who is interested.
The exit is the Valencia Blvd off ramp and the Starbucks is located just west of the 5 freeway on the NE corner of the intersection of Valencia Bvld and The Old Road (you can see it from the off-ramp). There is a market, drug store, juice place, etc. at the location. If someone needs gas or breakfast, two exits south at Lyons Ave, there are several gas stations and restaurants along with fast food.
We are thinking of meeting at 0800 hrs and looking at cars until everybody shows up and then heading out for a drive. We can use the FRS radios to keep in touch (you can find them at any Best Buy, Staples, Sport Chalet, Costco, Office Max, Walmart, etc for a reasonable price).
We will stop for breaks along the way and stop for lunch. We are going for a spirited drive with some scenery rather than a race (some drives have resulted in cars crashing and being totaled from pushing too hard on the street) to make it a safe run for everybody. We should be finished up around 1400 hrs. depending on everybody's input in the morning (shorter or longer day??).
Hope we can get as many M5's in one spot as we did last year to keep everybody connected to each other and the board.
John

Sounds good to me. Any of those weekends is fine as of now, but there's always a chance that I may be called away to shoot photos at a club race. I hope not though!
