Pretty darn fun, not a race, a rally on some scenic mountain roads
Check it out, it is 500 miles, starts in Sacramento and overnights at CalNeva. This will be my 4th time. Last weekend in April, but if you are interested you best hop to it.Alpine 500 It is for 1975 and older, but I am sure if you have a 1976, they would cut you some slack |

This is basically a "group ride" on open public roads. No timing, no scoring, no rules, no competition. They do give out awards at the end, but they're for things like "car most likely not to finish, that did anyway" (which went to the Anglia).
Nobody cares if the car is modified, so long as you have it registered and insured. For example, one 2002 had a late 325i engine in it. The '59 Alfa Sprint had a 2000cc Alfa Twincam in it, in place of the usual 1300. The car just has to be pre-1975 and street legal enough to be registered. Lots of the roads are pretty rough, so having good suspension and reasonable ground clearance is a good idea. Some of the cars are pretty fast, but many are pretty slow. |
