Event Details:

This will be a 3 day grand touring event through the scenic back roads of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties with stops at private invitation-only car collections, wine tasting, and other activities thrown in along the way.

Day 1: We will begin our adventure in historic Paso Robles and wind our way to Carpinteria. Along the way we will enjoy some scenic roads and byways with ocean and mountain vistas. You will have time to explore some of the last of the quaint California towns. We will also visit a private car collection and a free evening to enjoy Carpinteria and
Santa Barbara!

Day 2: After drivers meeting, more great backroads in Santa Barbara and Ventura county. We will visit another private car collection and get together for tacos (c'mon it is Cali, right?). We will have the opportunity to visit several wineries for wine tasting, and you will have a free evening in Ventura.

Day 3: Last day we trek back to Paso for more wine tasting and a plated dinner at the historic Longbranch Saloon in Creston. Put on your cowboy boots; awards, stories, and prizes will be given out!!

Expect poker runs, dummkopf awards, great food, good wine, cool prizes, fantastic drives and the kind of good time money can't buy; all for a great cause!

Your tax deductible registration fee will cover breakfast burritos Thursday morning, lunch on Friday and the awards dinner Saturday as well as a swag bag with commemorative shirt and dash plaque.

Lodging:

I have tried to keep the cost down. there are certainly more luxurious accommodations!

Paso Robles
For those of you out-of-towners, I have a block of rooms at the Adelaide Inn. Clean and good value. You will need reservations for September 17 and 20th https://adelaideinn.com/

Upscale options include:

The Paso Robles Inn (a personal favorite)

Those seeking a cheaper alternative there are motels on 24th Street or you can drop a $50 on me and sleep in your car parked at my ranch "No phone, no pool no pets"
