Santa Clarita Valley Exotic Car Club

Ferrari has once again threatened to pull the plug on its F1 team, this time due to the fact that Max Mosley, head of the FIA, is pushing hard for a 40 million pound budget cap. The only caveat is that teams will be allowed the option of running with an uncapped budget; for a price. That price includes the restriction of moveable aerodynamic elements, half the amount of boost from KERS, restricted engine revs, and more. Maybe those teams will need to run V6's and three wheels. Maybe the driver will have to tie a hand behind his back. Ferrari maybe huffing and puffing due to a lackluster season, but maybe Luca di Montezemolo has a fair point.

This is the club's bread and butter drive. The Spunky Canyon loop is a great drive if you have an hour to kill and want to hit some technical corners. It isn't all that fast, but it is much more demanding than looking at a map would have you think. It has very good changes of elevation and an equal mix of uphill and downhill corners. The back side of the canyon is adjacent to the Bouquet Reservoir and has sweeping downhill corners and slight kinks that will challenge your wits and your trail-braking.
