Motorgen Meet and Canyon Cruise December 13th!!!

**SeanPlunk** · 11-22-2008 12:01 AM

This is the monthly Motorgen Meet. After the drama of last month, we've decided to relocate to a restaurant that actually wants us there :) We are meeting at Nick's Burger in Fullerton CA. It is off the 91 Fwy and Brookhurst. The major cross streets are Brookhurst and Orangethorpe. It is about a half mile off the freeway. There is a very large lot direcly across the street that could support hundreds of cars, so that shouldn't be a problem. We are planning to meet at 7:30 p.m. The address for Nick's is:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

After we all get some grub, we are planning to caravan out in a cruise. The cruise will go through Carbon Canyon, down to 71 Fwy, and eventually out to the Mission Inn in Riverside. Here is a map of the entire cruise. The Mission Inn is a historical monument and they go all out with Christmas Decorations and all kinds of stuff. It will be a perfect place to hang out after the cruise before everyone heads home. Here is an article on the Mission Inn so everybody knows what it is.

The exact plan is to leave Nick's at about 9:30 p.m. We will hand out copies of directions before we leave (we'll bring plenty this time). From there we will head towards Carbon Canyon. Before hitting the canyon we are going to meet off the freeway at Borders Bookstore in Brea. We are only going to stop for a minute to make sure everyone catches up before we hit the canyon. The address for Borders is:

429 S. Associated Rd
Brea, CA 92821

After everyone catches up we will head through Carbon Canyon. Everyone can go through it at their own pace. :) After the canyon we are going to briefly meet up again at the Carl's Jr. right before the 71 FWY. The address is:

4200 Chino Hills Pkwy #220
Chino Hills, CA 91709

After Carls we will all caravan together down the 71 (at whatever speed you think appropriate) to the 91 where we will head for the final destination of the Mission Inn. The address of the Mission Inn is:

3649 Mission Inn Ave.
Riverside, CA 92501

The whole night should be a lot of fun. We shouldn't have any more problems at the location with the cops, and the cruise should be an awesome time. We learned some lessons since the last cruises so this one actually has stops where everyone can meet up and should be smooth. Here is a link to the thread on Motorgen, and here is a link to the cruise on our calendar. If any of you want to register on the site before hand or have any suggestions please let me know. My SN is SeanPlunk on Motorgen, my email is [email protected], and my cell phone # is 714-322-2324. I hope to see you guys all out there - this one will be the best one yet, I promise.

Also, we have decided that after each monthly Motorgen Meet (every 2nd Saturday of the month at 7:30 P.M.), we are going to do a cruise afterward. This thread on our board is for suggestions for cruise routes. We are looking for nice drives in the area that are about an hour long or so (if it's a little longer, that's no big deal). For the time being we're planning on meeting at Nick's Burger every month. It is off the 91 FWY and Brookhurst. Here is the address:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

So, if you have any ideas, please post them up in that thread!! Thanks!!

Sonics kicked you guys out?

**SeanPlunk** · 11-24-2008 04:37 PM

What happened was some guy not at meet (just a random person) did a huge burnout leaving the lot

At that point a guy from Sonics came out to say they had called the cops. They didn't really call the cops, but when people heard it they scattered. We contacted Nick's and they're totally cool with having us. The food is good and in addition to the lot at the restaurant their is a HUGE lot directly across the street where a Ralphs used to be. It should be perfect for us and cop free

**oc-drop** · 11-24-2008 04:49 PM

I'm surprised cops haven't rolled by in general

That Sonics was a huge street racing meet spot a couple years back

I've had some questions about Carbon Canyon being closed because of the fires. Currently it is closed. It sounds like it will be back open in time though. If for some reason it is not open we will come up with an alternate route and post it about a week before the meet.

Two Week Bump :)

**SeanPlunk** · 12-06-2008 05:14 PM

One Week Reminder Bump!!!

**SeanPlunk** · 12-10-2008 07:30 PM

Three day bump. Carbon Canyon is open, the weather's cool, and gas is cheap. Life is good :)

how many people are going so far?

Not sure. Generally we've been getting at least 60 though and that's without any Audi's

I think we're going to have at least that many this time. Usually the cruises have had 16-30. Again, we've only been at this 3 months so we're getting better. Hopefully we'll have more people.

Here is a guide to where we're going. This is the entire route.

Here is a visual guide. I will be handing out a packet with the directions and this information at the meet. It also has my phone number in case anyone gets lost. If anyone has a walkie talkie, please bring it and we can use those to keep in contact as well. If anyone also wants to register at motorgen.com and suggest other routes or suggestions we want to continue running events so that would be excellent. Here is a basic guide on what we're doing. More detailed information can be found in the link above if you want a specific address.

We're meeting at Nick's Burger in Fullerton. Here is what it looks like:

From Nick's we will be heading from the 91 to the 57 fwy where we are exiting Imperial. From the Imperial off ramp you will go straight and we're going to meet back up at the Borders parking lot. It looks like this:

After we all meet at Borders we are going to caravan and go through Carbon Canyon. Once we get through Carbon Canyon we are going to turn right onto Chino Hills Parkway. We will then pull over at the Carl's Jr. in the Chino Hills Marketplace before hitting the 71 fwy. The Carl's will be on the left hand side and looks like this:

After meeting back up with everyone we'll hit the 71 and head out to Riverside via the 91. Our ultimate goal is the Mission Inn. It'll be on the right hand side and looks like this:

Everyone can take pictures and we can check out all the lights and displays on the grounds. After we finish up we can hit up a Denny's or something if people feel up to some food. We've learned a lot from the last cruises so this should be smooth. We'll have plenty of maps and everything should be simple. I'll see you all there. Hit me up on Motorgen if you have any questions, suggestions or anything else. Thanks!!
