The website is a little difficult to explore but you'll find plenty of canyon roads along with reviews/advisories.

GMR...but they are still cracking down up there or it's closed. You can go up Baldy?

There are a lot oc twisties near the San Frenando Valley; Angeles Crest HWY (all the way up to Mt. Wilson), Mullholland Rd., Deker, Stunt Rd. Piyuma, Box Cyn, Latigo Cyn., and My favorite Sand Cyn (AKA: Osbourne Cyn). Anyone want to check them out? PM me. :-P

Just go to the site suggested by theblue, fantastic website and they have more canyon roads in different areas with informative info on how the road is and ratings on difficulty.

silverado and blackstar is not worth the high octane.

back from the dead suckas!!!!!

whos down to run Highland?

I ran Highland yesterday Foo :P ...Once Up & Once down Sucka!!!!!

when? ill try to make time for it

Heres the thing we have to run it at night. Reason is that it too much traffic during the day to even go fast. So I will have to schedule this around like at 10pm.

Greg you did not run highland. And you didnt tell me.

Yea I did!....i went around 11:30am...and took Jess w/ me!.... :P

You prolly didnt go fast. Ahh sunday cruise. You will never keep up with me even with all you mods.

you guys make me laugh...

azusa canyons and GMR front side and back side is fun as hell

could always do Decker Cyn. then cruise PCH afterwards. maybe make a stop at Neptunes Net for some good eats.

we need to make a giant meet to run these canyons for a week.

but if we can only do a couple i would be down with that.

HVR, Del Luz, Palomar and Mesa Grande is where you'll see my mazdaspeed miata

I love palomar! Such a awsome cruise!

I actually live across the street from Highland. i can run it every day if i want.

HVR, Del Luz, Palomar and Mesa Grande is where you'll see my mazdaspeed miata

is that you on youtube that has a bunch of vids of a speed miata in the canyons?

nah that's some crazy nut driving up Lil GMR. I have the same car though and yes it DOES handle very well. I'm puttin about 190ish to the wheels, with Azenis rubber on the corners. The mazdaspeeds come with bilstin race shocks, upgraded sways, bigger brakes and extra frame reinforcement goodies to handle the extra power. Also the entire drive train is shot n pin'd, tranny, drive shaft and rear dif. Has a torson LSD and does a GREAT job back there. Its not a straight line car, but more of a 0-100 car and built for the turns.

these are a few vids from gms backside and frontside

There is one on Youtube with me doing highland for the first time. I almost crashed. I will try to find it for ya.

Chris... lets run highland! I will ruin you! buahahahahahaha

ive been itching to hit up a canyon since i got back in town

Lets go buddy make sure you have enough money for a tow truck!

what do you guys have done to your suspension?

Springs, progress rear sway, falken tires, Porterfield brake pads. What else do you need?

was just wondering what your setup was. Sound like you have some good stuff under there. I've never gone up HVR in FWD, only in the miata and my S13 when I had it.

Im fast but not that fast. I try to be safe. I think we might run tonight. But lil Alex (browndogg) is boosted.

I might be up for a lil run tonight

Tickets await you at GMR/Azusa!

This whole week and last week there has been police sitting everywhere at GMR/Azusa. The EVO family has not been going up there because everyone has been getting REF tickets, just wanted to let you guys know.

Tons and tons of good roads in the So Cal area...

Some I frequent are:

Box, Woosley, Black, La Tuna, Decker, Deer, Carbon, Stunt, Malibu, Latigo, Mullholand, Encinal, and my personal favorite drive to take is through Lockwood Valley off the 150 and 33 fwy

the only one i know is


the short-cut going up to mt. high from the 138.

Lyons valley!!! its far but its a good run.

hmm..whats the diff between a canyon road and a mountain road? im guessing its twisty but level?

location, ex. palomar is a mountain. ortega is a mix of both depending when/where u start and stop.

i'm crusin up angeles crest hwy this sunday. trying to get people to go with me. lol

i'm crusin up angeles crest hwy this sunday. trying to get people to go with me. lol

hmm...like random people? xD

i think you mean Err :loser:

Hows those canyons in NC Toan?

Sorry to bring up an old thread but GMR has been pretty quiet lately. Great for some night canyon runs, but I've heard residents living in the area sometimes call the cops if they hear loud exhausts. But GMR is all about handling anyways, so that turbo won't help much.

watching*

thats true its been quiet up there if anything if your heading up there going up baldy side or azusa side

Me and some other guys have been running Palamar Mountain. If anyone is interested let me know.

I'm not too familiar with the surrounding area but I go up where GMR starts in Glendora. I guess that's Azusa side. The first section is pretty challenging even going at around 30-40. The first time I went up there, I underestimated the first turn and it almost turned ugly but I saved it and kept going.

There's always Carbon Canyon... Brea/Yorba Linda in O.C.

Not EVERYTHING has burned down, so it's still a decent drive...

"Err Is To Human, As Forgiveness Is Divine"

fixed it

When I would run gmr I would sometimes watch these guys. The days front side was closed...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjNS951-ojs

^ i new all those guys the and the guy in the video i used to go to hardcore party's and meet up with him he know has a bike and hes sick at that 2

in gmr sundays that ____ is UBER packed with motorcycles! thursday nights is a good night to go!!!!

Why don't we organize a canyon run sometime? Not necessairly to race at night, but a cruise in the daytime? Maybe meet up somewhere, then cruise up and hang out up at the top? My suggestion would be meet up somewhere and cruise up Angeles Crest and chill at the parking lot at base of Mt. Wilson? This would defenitely have to be after the weather clears up, because as I type this I'm sure there's still snow at Mt. Wilson.

has anybody been on the 2?
i would imagine it would be full of snow right now
but it looks like a fun road
long
but fun
