Tahoe Run 2009

Hello Everyone,

It is that time of year again for the 2009 Tahoe Run. We will be heading out on August 29th and doing the extended loop around the lake. For many of you who have attend this run in the past we have added a new section to the drive. If you have been waiting to go on a day drive then this is your drive.

We will be meeting at:

The Nimbus Winery
12401 Folsom Blvd, Rancho Cordova CA
Depart at 9:00am on the dot

PLAN ON BEING GONE ALL DAY. You are welcome to attend part of the drive or meeting points but the drive will last most of the day.

Lunch will be in Tahoe at the Lake Forest Buffet at Harrish Tahoe. Not the best food in the world but a great view and is able to seat a large group.

Maps will be provided on the day of the event for all of those who are attending the drive.

Check list.

1. Fill up prior to departure. (there is a chevron right off HW 50 and Hazel)
2. Two way radio if possible (helps the leads know what is going on)
3. Top off fluids
4. Check tire pressure
5. Clean air filter

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

Sounds cool! Do you have any more info on the event, or pics of past runs? I googled "tahoe run" and I found an even with that name by EuroSunday. Is that it? Either way I'll try to make this

I am the unofficial events guy so I do both. Tahoe run has been going on since 2002. I have images somewhere and can find them. However if you have a EuroSunday account and look at the Sacramento images from 2008 and 2007 you will see a section for the Tahoe Run.

Videos here of 2008. Center section top vids.
EuroSunday - A monthly gathering of Euro car & motorcycle enthusiasts.

Hello everyone.
I have posted the images from my 2009 Tahoe Run. Everyone that attended the drive had a great time as a fun group of car enthusiasts. The final group ended up with 31 cars total for the drive up and around Lake Tahoe. The weather was a little warmer than usual but the roads were perfect and the scenery was breath taking. I hope next year we can have an even bigger group for the drive there.

Keep an eye open for a possible second Tahoe run this year. A lot of people missed the drive that wanted to attend.

Other events I am planning for everyone.

Napa run and photoshoot

HW 1 Marathon drive (only the brave need apply)

Stanford to Santa Cruz (classic old school run from 2002 on)

If you want to find out when these drives are without checking the forms, PM me your email and I will add you to my drivers email list.
