Castaic, CA 91384
(661) 775-8100

Website


To all OC, IE, and SD members, we will be staging in the Wal-Mart parking lot directly in front of the Sam’s Club gas station in the Long Beach Towne Center. Staging will begin at 9:30AM with a departure time of 10:00AM SHARP! We will not be waiting for anyone that is running late.

Our route to Castaic from the Sam’s Club Gasoline Station in the Long Beach Towne Center will be 605N – 5N

Staging area address:

7250 Carson Boulevard
Long Beach, CA 90808

We have a target arrival time of 11:15AM at Telly’s Drive-In in Castaic where we will enjoy lunch together with 3rd gen owners from all areas, check out rides, and have a drivers meeting before departing for our Super Cruise.

The Super Cruise will be filled with 120+ miles of amazing scenery, switchbacks, and straights guaranteed to please driver and vehicle alike. As always, I have contacted CHP in addition to other local agencies to inform them of our event, date, time, cruise route, and approximate amount of participants. This is a cruise not a competition and anyone found attempting to test the limitations of their vehicle and/or participate in a speed contest as a participant of this event will be stopped, asked to turn around, and/or have their vehicle license plate and description forwarded to CHP. We ask that all cruise participants please govern themselves accordingly.

If you wish to participate in the Super Cruise you (drivers & passengers) will be required to sign a Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement in order to receive a route map/wristband and participate in the Super Cruise.

Those of you that will be attending please remember to bring your FRS radios as they will be your best form of communication during the cruise. If you would like to join the caravan along the route please have your FRS radios tuned to channel 3 so you can listen in as we will be announcing our location periodically in an effort to let people know where we are once the cruise is underway.

The Super Cruise is approximately 3hrs (120+ miles), will start at Telly’s Drive-In in Castaic, and end om the coast in the Carpinteria area. Upon completion of the Super Cruise attendees from the IE, OC, and SD have the option to regroup and caravan back together.

As always if you have any questions, comments, or to RSVP please feel free to contact me

If my swap is done by then, and I have the day off, I'll make it.

 

Dang, thats one long cruise! good luck to all who go! I wont be able to make it, will be out of town on that weekend

 

I'll go if I can can pass smog on this third try.

 

Our Super Cruises are usually 100+ miles... ...and no worries Tim, there will be plenty of other opportunities for you to come out and play

Sending good vibes your way... Good luck Tom!

 

Ok passed smog finally. Those jerks charged me $94.50 and they still tried to fail me. So just have to pay the registration and ready to go for the show.

 

Nicely done! Hey, anytime an LG4 can get through smog nowadays is a reason to celebrate

 

Well that's the wierd thing. Since I've had my car from 1993 to now, it has had a new cat and the car has been tuned to run on 91 octane. My engine runs like day one from factory. I am very disapointed with the State of CA trying to get our cars off the road when they are running fine and better than most new models.

 

We plan to be there.

 

The numbers keep getting lower and lower each and every year... If they had it their way, our cars would all be in the crusher and we'd all be driving hybrids However... as long as we continue to negotiate every obstacle they throw our way by running clean and blowing the number every time. There really isn't anything they can do to keep these cars off the road

 

Alright guys, we're a little lass than a couple of weeks out...

Make sure and take the time to go through your cars from top to bottom. Look around your garages for spare/used radiator hoses, belts, water pumps, alternators, etc. I’ve been on several cruises where any one of these items would had someone back on the road in minutes instead of hours driving around looking for a parts house (usually in the middle of nowhere) that hopefully had the part.

If you are joining us for this Super Cruise please take the time to check your fluid levels, radiators, heater control valves, tire pressure, brakes, belts & hoses, air dams, and spare tires.

If you know your vehicle is not mechanically sound enough for an all day driving event, please do not bring it. This club has been around for over a decade so believe me when I say there will be plenty of other cruises you will be able to join us for in the future.

The more proactive we are as a club the less the chance of someone having a breakdown. Our club credo is to never leave anyone behind so if anyone has any concerns about being left on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere... Don't worry, you're good.

Remember guys, safety is paramount!

 

I'm hoping to come out. Interested in getting to know some people in SoCal. I'm just hoping my car is going to be good to go. I know it can handle the drive seeing as I drove it from Chicago to LA but it's getting a re-built trans put into it and I'm not sure what kind of shape it's going to be in by then.

 

Does anyone know how many people are meeting in Long Beach?

 

Well best of luck on the rebuilt trans and hopefully it all works out so you can join us next week

As of this morning, 8-10 cars... However, history has proven that it can easily be as little as 2-3 or as many as 10-15. You never know... You are welcome to contact me on the way in to see what the head count is...

 

Well I did a road test on my car yesterday morning. From my house, to 105 frwy, to 405 frwy tunnel, exited on roscrans to pch and then drove around the peninsula and back home on the 710 where i opened it up to get some cobwebs out. so far so good. just a minor tweak and i should be there. if not, then maybe next run.

 

Sounds like everything is working well and in order

 

For the most part. Still havn't charged up my A/C as I am still debating on R-12 or R-134. But oil pressure, electrical charge and temp were all perfect. But man, I almost regret gutting out my old sort of soft stock suspension for the 1LE spec. stuff I got from the dealer ages ago.

Hey, when you're young, everything has to be bad a**. I felt every imperfection on the road. Talk about driver feed back.

 

I'm sure your car rides like a Cadillac compared to mine! The entire suspension is spherical bearings, del-a-lum, and factor in the 35 series rubber... Yeah... That's why she only gets driven a couple times a month lol

 

Is everything still a go for sunday considering the fires and if so how many are going to be there?

 

Of course... I've been in touch with Rod (trucker) several times over that last couple of days to see how things are going up there and he's advised that we will be headed in the opposite direction of where the fire is so we're good to go.

In the event the fire changes direction, all we have to do is change the route so either way this event is not going to get cancelled.

As far as attendees, we are looking at anywhere from 16-24 cars. However, as always there is no way to know for certain until we're underway.

 

This image was taken back in 2007 while underway on a cruise up to Big Bear. As you can clearly see, we are no strangers to wildfires that can plague SoCal during fire season

 

So my car won't be done in time. How often do you guys get together and do these cruises or even just gather with the cars at a drive-in?

 

We officially 'meet' every even month on the first Sunday of the month and I try to coordinate at least two Super Cruises a year. One in Northern LA County and the other in San Diego County to involve as much of our Southern California membership as possible. Other then that, we have special events and get together several times in between official meets throughout the year. Best way to keep in touch with what we have going on is to join the SC3G Facebook Page or register on the SC3G Website which will automatically place you on our clubs mailing list to receive updates on meets and events

 

Alright guys, today is the day so lets make it a good one! See you soon

 

Thanks to everyone that was able to make it out to our Super Cruise yesterday afternoon! Aside from a couple of minor mechanical issues, it was another action packed cruise route laid out by our very own Rod Flory (trucker)! Our next Super Cruise will be toward the end of the year and in San Diego County. Thanks again guys ;0)

Well it's cool that everyone had a great time. Unfortunately for me, I guess I am not meant to go to these fun cruises. Each time one comes up something happens to my car. This time, the M.A.P. sensor decided to finally fail after 25 years. Oh well.

 

I think you mean 'D.P.S.' (Differential Pressure Sensor which delivers the readings in reverse) not MAP sensor... Make sure the parts guy gave you the correct part because if he gave you a MAP sensor the car will not run right...

 

It's the M.A.P. (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor with the tiny vacuum hose on it and E.C.M. connector. Got a code 41 and then 45 came out.

 

You're still running an LG4 right?

 

Yes I am.

 

I did a little research yesterday and apparently the 87 LG4 is the only year that actually has both sensors...?

 

Let me check on that. Wouldn't surprise me if it did have both.

 

Hopeflly ill make the SD cruise.Never been there (in the camaro).
