M2 owners drive to Alice's/Skidpad?

Hey guys, I am a bay area local, I track a lot, also drive highway 9 a lot, was wondering if anyone would be interested in a drive to Alice's or Skidpad during the weekend? We can meet at the 76 gas station at the base of the mountain, maybe around 9-10 pm, and drive up the mountain to skidpad and take group pictures possibly? Let me know your ideas, thanks!

What is Skidpad? I know what a skid pad is, I mean is there one near to Alice's?

Another possibility is that this was a result of swype autocorrect and you meant Skyline?

There is a skipad on highway 9 past 4 corners, a nice viewpoint more than a thunderhill esque skidpad haha.

It's just the main lookout/small parking lot a few minutes past the 9/35 junction.


And I'm down. Did you mean 9/10am though?

Edit 2: I also want to check out your seat setup too! I have the same seat but need to figure out a different way of hooking up the belts.

Never thought of lookouts as skidpads but judging by the tire marks, this is definitely a thing!

How's traffic around 9-10 am on that road? I usually try for 6-7am to avoid being stuck behind a pickup truck on my pleasure drive.

I ended up driving up Highway 9 to skyline and stopping by Alices. Supercar hangout! Followed some tweaked 911's on La Honda road for about 30 seconds and they left me in the dust. Great meeting spot
