Dead Presidents
september 7-9 2024
HOLLISTER - MORRO bay - los padres - TRES PINOS
the skinny
Dead presidents is a three day (plus optional friday night lights stage from San Francisco to Hollister 9-6) vintage car rally that loops through the heart of Central California's earthquake country. Starting in Hollister and ending in Tres Pinos, the rally winds its way through deserted coast and country roads. We’ll spend two nights in Morro Bay this year and work our way through the hills south of Morro, too. We cover all types of roads from tight and twisty and goaty as hell to fast, open sweepers, and maybe even [DEF] some (very well) groomed fire roads in between. The scenery is beautiful, the bends second to none, and the roads just about empty.
We'll arrange for a catered lunch on Saturday in Parkfield, overnight digs in Morro Bay for both nights, and a finishers' awards dinner on Sunday in Tres Pinos, with pit stops in between. Also included in the entry is a comprehensive rally bag with route book and all sorts of goodies including tees, road loot, and an assortment of stickers. Margaritas and dogs as always in Morro, and continental breakfast pit stops on the road, natch.
September is a busy time. 24h Lemons, pinkies out concourses, and back to schoolins all get in the way, sure. but we'd like to offer y'all one last chance to stretch your old cars’ legs. it may be hot and it might get dusty, but the corners are primo and the cool coastal air cures all. so dust off the giulia or jag or citroEn or whatever pre-'76 car, we're going driving!
the rules
(BRING A GOOD ATTITUDE)
01.
–
Be in a pre 1976 car. It can be DREWITZ-style ROLLS classy or KROBIN-style 911 outlaw, 2CV-ballsy or Trans Am rubber killer.
02.
–
Bring tools, a willingness to use them, and maybe even a AAA card just in case you need to be towed out of the hinterlands.
03.
–
This is not a race. Lawyer business, indemnity waiver, so on and so forth. We fully expect everyone to drive within their limits. Don't drive like a twit; USE COMMON SENSE AND RESPECT THE RULES OF THE ROAD.
