Event Title: : SOCALM-Calico Ghost town Run
Saturday, March 27, 2010
|
When: . . . . . . . Saturday, March 27
Time: . . . . . . . 10:00am - 7:00pm
Meeting Place: Richie's Diner at Victoria Gardens
8039 Monet Ave, Rancho Cucamonga
909-899-8101
Hosts: . . . . . . Tom & Marna Wood
president@socalm.org <
909-732-5487
Description:
I have wanted to visit Calico for many years. The last time I was there I was 2 years old. So I decided to host this destination event.
Weather permitting we will enjoy a drive through the mountains on our way to Calico. I do have an interesting alternate drive planned if there is too much snow in the mountains.
For those who are not familiar with Calico Ghost Town, it is one of the few original Old West Mining Towns. One-third of the original buildings from the 1880's are still standing. The rest of the structures have been carefully reconstructed in the old west spirit. (Check out www.calicotown.com <http://www.calicotown.com/> for more information.) There is a $6.00 entrance fee.
The drive will take about three hours to get to Calico. We will eat lunch, shop, wander, pan for gold and just generally enjoy ourselves. We will leave about 5:00pm and head home via I-15. Anyone who is planning on attending the SDMC Puke on Sunday can get a hotel room in Escondido and continue on down the I-15 after the Calico Run.
We also recommend starting your day with a hearty breakfast at Richie's before the run. Plan on getting to the restaurant by 8:00am and enjoy home-style cooking.
Directions:
Make your way to I-15 in Ontario, exit at Foothill Blvd (located half way between the I-10 and I-210). Go west in Foothill. Monet Ave is the first street on the right west if the I-15. Turn right on Monet, then right into Richie's (and Chevron & Jared) parking lot.
See you there,
Tom & Marna

Event Title: : The Puke
Sunday, March 28, 2010
|
Put it on your calendar! Check your tire pressure! Clean the windshield! Your Fun Factor may vary!
The 13th running of the Puke will NOT be unlucky. Why, you ask? Because we are going to share the fun. This will be the "pay back" to the Corvette Owners Club of San Diego. After they hosted us at their event in September, we still owe them a good "driving" time.
We will have more cars and more people than ever before. That means we will have more groups and more to talk about after we drive.
As convention requires, we will meet at Dalton's Roadhouse in San Marcos at 9 am for the breakfast buffet that they prepare especially for us. Corvettes and Miatas will gather in the parking lot pending the 10 am drivers meeting in the patio. It is likely that the drivers meeting will last a little longer in 2010 as we expect to split more cars into more groups. Hopefully we will have the first group launched by about 10:30.
For the uninitiated, we split into groups of no more than 15 cars to enhance the driving fun. This is a driving event, created for the enjoyment of the driver first. We put together, back to back, as many of San Diego County's twistiest roads. This has resulted in some passengers turning different shades of green. Hence, the event name.
The course is an elongated figure eight with two pit stops at Dudley's Bakery factored in. The driving groups alternate leaving and driving the course in opposite directions thus creating crossing patterns and meeting other groups at different points along the course.
The end of the course is back at Dalton's. With groups beginning to arrive at about 3 pm, Dalton's opens up its patio for us again as we order off of their fabulous menu and enjoy the embellishments of another great Miata and Corvette event.
