Thanks Ron.

Please call me for this and some other stuff.

Yeah, Chan took the other video. Although I didn't see him filming, I think he missed the pack in the rear that I eventually broke away from to catch you guys.

Yup I broke away from being 5 or 6 from the rear to like 4th from the front. I won't say who was holding up the pack in the rear. But shoot i didn't even see the pack for a few mins while i was playing catchup.

someone blamed me for holding the pack up... haaha....... i blame the prius and eurovan blocking up the 2 lanes! they were going soooo slow...this was when we were merging from 101 - 237...... by the time i got around them it was too late im sure.

edit: i also didn't see the pack for a while..... didn't seem like anyone was going 65 mph to me.... more like 90+ for me to catchup

You guys had me worried. I had to go 50 in the slow lane, and completely lost sight of the first group, just to wait for my group to catch up. Hope that video shows up soon. We'd all love to see it.

Hey don't generalize all the norcal drivers like that. I'm not one of them. Remember I did catch you once I broke away from the pack. Trust me if you drive that people in SF will let you know and you won't get anywhere in SF unless your semi agressive.

OK so now we know the REAL story eh?

I was up front and I don't think I broke past 55 mph from 101 to 237, but to catch me you would def need to go 75+ to make up even a quarter mile back up.

If we had better range with the walkie talkies, then I would of been able to communicate what to do and maybe even slow down or pull over.

Once we merge on to 237, about a quarter mile down where it goes from 2 to 3 lanes. I would of told everyone to get in the fast lane and be ready to pass the damn Scion then.

In any case we did the best we could do. If I had more time to plan and could do it again, I would of probably lined up cars at the start of 237 near El Camino and then merged everyone.

I still haven't received the other video footage, and then we still have to edit it as well.

Stay Tuned another week or so.
