The Porsche Club of the Bay Area (PCBA) along with Road Glue (Nor Cal 914s) and the Northern California Audi TT/S4 club sponsored a day of driving fun in Marin and Sonoma Counties.
I got back from my New Orleans trip Friday night and decided to go on Sunday. I showed up at the Petaluma Fair Grounds at 8:45 AM. There were 2 914s and an Audi S6 Quattro wagon waiting there. The weather was overcast and windy, and threatening to rain.
The Front Engined Porsches were a 944, my 928 and 3 968s. | A total of 6 914s showed up including a yellow 914 with a body kit and VW wheels. | The other Porsches were 2 Turbo 911s, 3 911s , a 996 and 2 Boxsters. |
There were 6 Audis; 3 TTs, 2 S4s, and the S6. There was also a NSX, BMW M3, Saab 9000 Turbo, and a new Bug. |
We hit the road about 10 AM, the rain made it difficult to get too radical. The 4wd Audis had a real advantage. I did find that the Yokohama AVS tires handled the wet well. I was in the front group of cars, 3 Audis in front, a 911, 993 Turbo, NSX, and 911 Turbo behind me. We got separate from the rest of the group, so we stopped before we got to Bodega Bay to regroup. |
When we made it to our lunch stop, Round Table in Occidental at 12:30, the 3 Audis were still in front and the 911 Turbo, NSX and a S4 where behind me. A couple of drivers had brought video cameras, so we watch the replay while we ate. |
The drive was very enjoyable, too bad it rained.
Thanks to all that organized the drive.
