Attracts over 350 vehicles, & all cars are welcome.
Bench Racing and Newport Shelby host the "Tour d Orange" every New Years Day which highlights the best scenic tour of Orange County. Now a Southern California tradition for many and arguably the first car event of the New Year.

The near 100 miles cruise encompasses Pacific Coast Highway, Canyons Carving and beautiful picturesque valleys.

Meet at the corner of Fisher and Redhill in Costa Mesa. Arrive by 8:30 AM, maps at 8:45 AM, DEPART AT 9:00 AM. This scenic drive will take approximately 2 hours and terminate at the In N Out Burger at “The District” in Tustin.

Thank you all for your good behavior which enables us to continue sponsoring this fun event.

It’s like going to the Irvine Cars & Coffee, but the benefit is; you get to see, hear, and drive along with all the cool cars.

Along the route there are areas you can drop the hammer and have some fun!

Really quite an underrated cruise, it's very phenomenal. People from around the globe show up for this event, my parents saw people from South Africa and Poland as well a few Germans there with Canadians and South Americans.

Just a tip for those that get there between 9 and 9:30 AM:idea:

If you don’t care about getting a route map and staging!

They leave from the staging area and head out on (Redhill) to (Bristol) to (McArthur Blvd) to PCH south.

You can be a stalker anywhere along that beginning route and join in with the group of cars that you want to hang with:shrug:

Looks like tomorrow morning will be clear and no early AM fog like last yea:rockon:r

Was going to go but this stock catback sucks ass and I would like to have some sort of exhaust to hear while going through the canyons, and I prefer to hear my own.

That was a great time, I stalked and went out with the first groups and left around 12:30:shrug:

The Mopar’s had the numbers followed by the Mustangs, Vettes, and Camero’s . The 67-69 Camero’s were outrageous.:rockon: That Black Jeep near N’Out was the bomb:eek:

Some vids I found
