CA: Ron Dunlop Memorial Charity Cruise
May 18 All day
The object of Ron Dunlop Memorial Charity Cruise is to enjoy driving sweeping, beautiful, challenging, paved back roads at legal speeds while raising money for one of our favorite charities. All net proceeds (over $20 per car) will be donated to the Loma Linda University Medical Center, the group that took such good care of Ron. There is no need for advanced math and no riddles, compasses, maps, or gimmicks. We will rain or shine on May 18, 2024.
This is an SCCA Cal Club-sanctioned Regional “Trek” format cruise event sponsored by the Into the Night Rally Team. It’s a non-competitive, untimed driving event. You can run alone or with as many passengers as your vehicle has working seat belts.
The “Trek” format is a “follow-the-leader” type cruise event. There will be a lead car, and we’ll all basically just stay in the queue behind them. Just follow the car in front of you and enjoy the roads. We will hand out a brief, written course description at the Start to help you stay with the route if you decide to stop or whatever. You can stop anywhere for any reason: a break, sightseeing, photos, etc.
Regarding photos, this event will go through the heart of the southern California wildflower area. With the rains we’ve been having, it should be a super bloom and should still be going strong on rally day. We have found an especially scenic spot on the course in this area, and we will have a professional photographer there to get some high-res pictures of you and your car surrounded by the wildflowers. We’ll then send each of you your photos after the event!
This event has been designed to be extremely EV-friendly. Charging stations are near both the Start and Finish.
Please register online at MotorsportsReg.com. Registration is $30 per car. All net proceeds (over $20 per car) will be donated to the Loma Linda University Medical Center, the group that took such good care of Ron. (NOTE: If the “register now” button doesn’t work, please reload this page and try again.)
You may still register in person at the Start. (Sorry, but we cannot accept credit cards at Registration. Please use the MSR website to pay by credit card.)
Registration opens at 10 AM, but feel free to come earlier. Dink’s Deli makes its bagels on-site daily, and they are mighty good. There’s also a Starbucks and a Jamba Juice literally next door. Come early for some socializing, tall tales, and tire-kicking. The finish will be at the Black Bear Diner in Palmdale.
This driving portion of the event lasts about 2 hours and covers about 90 miles of our favorite roads. The Cruisemaster is Paul McGaffey.
