tested in a Lotus 23 with the lap record, owned and raced a Shelby GT 350. Past Team Manager and Mechanic with the USA Karting team winning the World Championship in Hong Kong in 1972. He currently drives a Beck 550 Spyder and 911SC!
There will also be a discussion on safety, autocrosses and time trialing.
Then we take off for our tour. We'll stop at Gazos Road and Hwy 1 and the
proceed down Hwy 1 to Davenport for lunch. After lunch we take more twisty
roads ending up on Hwy 9 and Skyline Blvd (Hwy 35). See below on the complete route and directions to my office.
If you have a family radio bring it. We'll be on Channel 9
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a chiropractor in Redwood City and
quite a motorcycle enthusiast and have been organizing the Doc Wong Motorcycle Riding Clincs for the past 7 years (see me web page at: www.docwong.com).
This event however is a car only clinic.
Not too long ago I purchased a Porsche Boxster and a Miata and a whole new
world of fun opened up for me. Learning how to really drive the car has been a fun challenge, fortunately much of my motorcycling experience has helped me with that. I'm having a great time in autox and open track days.
The tour/drive will be pretty mellow. The idea is to enjoy the scenery, the
drive and to improve our driving skills. So if you're up for a very fast
drive, this isn't it.
RIDE ROUTE:
We start at Dr. Wong's office on Woodside Road (Hwy 84) in
Redwood City. We go up Woodside Road, through Woodside, and on up the hill crossing Skyline Blvd (Hwy 35).
From there, continue down Hwy 84 (name now changed to La Honda Road). Then almost to the ocean, San Gregorio, where you'll see a store and post office. If you actually get to Hwy 1, you've missed the left turn on Stage Road by the store.
From San Gregorio, we turn Left (South) on Stage Road to the
little town of Pescadero (which is a veritable METROPOLIS compared to San Gregorio).
Then we head east on Pescadero Road a short ways to Cloverdale Road, where we turn south (right) again. We follow Cloverdale road down to Gazos
Creek Road, where we turn west (right).
We follow Gazos Creek Road to Highway 1 where we can take a break. Gas is
available here.
Then take a trip down 1 to Davenport, where we stop for lunch.
After lunch, it's south on Highway 1 again to Bonny Doone Road, where we turn east (left). Don't turn right there, or you'll be surprised at the lack of
floatation a set of air bags provide. ;-)
Up Bonny Doon Road to Empire Grade. North (left) on Empire Grade to
Jamison Creek Road, down Jamison Creek Road to Highway 236. Right on Highway 236 to Highway 9 in Boulder Creek. Another short break in Boulder Creek (gas, if needed), then up Highway 9 (east) to Skyline, where we
assemble at the little rest area there for a final meeting. After our meeting and bull session, the group breaks up and everyone is on their own. Hope you can find your way home from there!
