View Full Version : Sunday Cruise To Prescott...........

I had a blast today on the Cruise to Prescott. I finally got to run my virgin White '07 'GT' through the switchbacks in the mountains. LOL. Yarnell Hill was awesome. She is 1 year old this month and the drive was her birthday present. Conner was my Co-Pilot today and he was a big help. However, I don't think he will fall asleep in the curves anymore since he has some bruising to the head. Sorry Jacostang. I took a lot of pictures so I will have to post them. I might need help though. Thanks again and it was great to meet a lot of CMC Member's. Hopefully we can do it again in October.
Steve...........
Yes great time! I couldn't go fast enough thru the switch backs, I was very impressed with a few drivers, especially Trish!! :bowing:

Thanks for posting some great pictures. I had a blast and hope we can do it in October. However, I have a feeling we won't do a cruise because it is the National MCA Show and the trophy presentation by the judges will be on Sunday. Oh well, maybe we can do something on our own. Thanks again..........

Dammmm........We had some nice looking Cars out on Yarnell Sunday!!!

The Wilholt to Prescott run is one of my favorite sections of road in the State. You and Steve should have been up front with me, I think I had a 1/4 mile on Dave before getting stuck behind the Toyota Pickup! The Yavapi County Sheriffs Dept. doesn't Patrol that section much, but look out for the Prescott Police at the end of it.
The Olivas Family Resturaunt has a patio, and small parking lot, in the back, (And Tecate on draft!). I asked, they are willing to set aside both for us, if we want to go up for one of the two big Car Shows in Prescott during the Summer. Nick and Steve get first dibs on being the Cars behind me!

I'll do some checking on the dates,Tony! One Show is for 1972' and older, but thier is no reason why we can't go up just to look!
Better get something wider than those skinnies on front too!
The Jeti Master may have several apprentices on the next run!
May the Force Be with You !

Yeah, drag racing with the fall show but I want to plan another cruise and I think it will involve some wine testing!! Chris b is giving us some good ideas with this and we can cruise and maybe do an overnight thing!!!

Torchmach,
Next time I will be right behind you, and Nick can be behind me. Don't worry I will keep up with you for sure even though you have a Mach 1. I will do my damndest to stay on your 'Tail' even if it means me sliding off of the mountain. LOL. I used to live in Europe and the Alps were my training ground at 14 years old. I can't wait.
The wine thing sounds good though that 'Jacostang' mentioned. I am up for that as long as I don't drive afterwards. LOL. Can't wait for the MCA Show in October and the Mesa Cruise in November. I love my '67 and '07. I think they are in competition with each other and it might bet deadly.

You know.... with as many of you guys who like the twisties, I am really surprised there aren't more of you doing road course events at PIR and Firebird. I worked for NASA for almost 3 years doing events there and can't believe more of you don't try stuff like that. There are several options for you guys, NASA (now run by CRA here... Club Racing Arizona) has events at PIR and Firebird usually once a month. Pro Autosports primarily has events ar Firebird, and there's always SCCA autocross events once a month at Firebird too.
Plus, if you guys are worried about cost, I know with NASA and Pro Autosports you can volunteer as a course worker for a weekend and earn yourself a free weekend of track time. Doesn't get any better than that, I've got loads of free track time built up but I'm waiting on a trackable car to use it :laughing1:

The more the merrier. We had a blast and the pictures don't do it justice. Hopefully we can get more car's in October to come up. I think we had almost 30 this time and got a lot of looks from people on the way. We even had 'Bikers' stopping and taking pictures from the side of the road on the way up. It was Arizona Bike Week this past weekend and it must have been a real sight to see all of us roaring by. LOL...........
Looked like a great run...
How was the traffic coming back down 17. Backed up at all?

Hiker,
I came back later than everyone else because I walked around downtown Prescott, Whiskey Row, and did some shopping for my Wife. I must have come back around 5 pr 6 pm. on I-17 and then Loop-101 south to Chandler. It was pretty clear sailing all the way down and it was even Arizona Biker Weekend. I had a blast coming down that 7% grade. LOL.............

Hey Steve this could be some serious fun!
I went through the 3 day Bondraunt course (Back when they were using Fox Mustangs!). And for a couple years, in my misguided youth, was dropping about $200-300 a month at Malibu Grand Prix tracks (Ouch! better spent there than on drugs, or alcohol though!)!

04-12-08, 05:26 AM
Darryl,
Yeah, that sounds like fun. I used to love going to the Gran Prix and blowing money there. I would do it a couple of times a month. Me, you and Nick will line up next time and do Yarnell Hill together. It should be fun. I will be at the Meeting on Sunday. See you then............

Hehe... still surprised none of you take it to the track. I've been through a couple Bondurant courses myself and have an award from the school too.... that's why I'm looking for another fox, so I have a car I can work on getting to the track again :woot1:

As far as the track goes like Bondurant, I am more of a straight line racer. Have been for 25 years now. I do love the road racing though so maybe one day I will try it. Considering Firebird is only 15 minutes away from me. I need to get some more practice up in the mountains though. Maybe Darryl and Nick will ride up there with me. Hint, Hint..........

Steve,
The last trip up was my first with Bfg KDW's on the Car. I have some Hawk Brake Pads, a Steeda 2pt shock tower brace, MM Upper Control arms, Panhard Bar kit, bump steer kit, and steering rack bushing on the way. Hopefully I can get them on the Car soon, then I will be looking forward another trip up Yarnell.
My biggest problem lately has been finding time for fun. Am working around 55 hours a week, and am out of town three nights. That will be changing soon after June 1st (Hopefully!).:laughing1:

Since you are doing a lot of suspension modifications, I want a head start up the hill. LOL. I will try and keep up with you but since I am stock I probably won't. I will try my damndest though. Oh well, we will have fun anyway. Lets get something going soon.

Oh my God, 'Hostile' posted. What a miracle. LOL. I thought I was the one on this Forum with the least amount of Posts! I am not the Newbie anymore. Nick, you might have me in the turns but I still own you on the 1320. And don't give me that story how you ran the same time as me at Speedworld. When we raced at Firebird head to head I beat you to the line. Don't give me all of these excuses how your Mustang wasn't running right either. LOL. Whoever gets there first no matter what. This isn't 'Pinks', since that is a fake Hollywood show anyway. Yes, I will stick back behind you and Darryl going up to Yarnell Hill but you won't have me by much, that I will make sure of. See you at the Track in October.

It's all in fun though. Now if it was a '65 "Slova" next to me then it would be all out for sure. I still can't believe I am 2nd to the bottom on posts behind him. I feel special! LOL............

BurnTire,
'Hostile' is up to 16 Posts. You had better start working overtime to get this server up to speed for him. LOL...............I can't wait until October so I can show Nick to stay off of the 1320. Maybe 'Burntire' can be on my team in case I lose we won't have to worry about giving up the crown. Dave had better make up some shirts to sell so we can make some money for the club off of this rivalry. LMFAO. Just remember something that I am still #1 Nick when it comes to you and me so until you knock me off of the podium stop talking smack. I will be ready for you and I might add some 'Spray' to make sure I keep myself on the podium. There are a lot of fast Mustang's in this club and I will admit that quite a few are faster than me. However, I will always make sure you are behind me even if it means me taking out another mortgage to finance it. LOL. I hope you can get up to 20 posts by October. Nick, Have a nice day and you should start paying 'Burntire' some OT pay for accomedating the Server to your needs. I can't wait and maybe we should start taking bets and giving odds out.

Hostile,
Have you ever heard of a run on sentence? I think you need to use 'periods' in your sentences more as well as proper english and spelling. You are right about the 12.5 but I still beat you to the line though. Also, I built my car from the ground up by myself. Just remember that buddy boy. I think we need to get some t-shirts made. Have a nice day.

Whatever, I will be ready for your Mustang. Read 'Burntire's' Websters Dictionary defintion of what a Sentence means. You might learn something. LOL. I want to get Dave to make up some shirts for us on the rivalry. We can make some money for the club. I can't wait for this October. I am going to Loper's and buy some spray, maybe a 100 shot. I won't need it though. Take care of your better half and stop trying to intimidate me on here. We know who has the throne so stop dreaming. I know how you really feel about me.................

Dave,
It will be the best of 3 runs. One run isn't fair especially if one of us has a bad launch, etc.
FYI- I just wanted to clarify something. I am not saying I am faster than anyone on here, especially the Cobra's, etc. They are super fast and I respect that 100%. But I built my car myself from the ground up and didn't have the luxury/choice of a speed shop build/tune. No offense, just my 2 cents. Just letting people know where my car stands. I love all Mustangs, old-new. I am faster than Nick though. LOL. Just kidding Nick. We are going to have a blast though, whoever wins. I know one thing, it is going to be real, not some 'Pinks' show. LOL..............Hopefully we can get a bunch of us out there and show the Chevy's that we rule. Then we can drive over to the show area afterwards at the Casino 300 ft. away. Sweet.................

Dave,
An idea for the t-shirts. How about pictures of both our car's facing eachother and saying something like 'Duel in the Desert', the 12 second club shootout, CMC logo, etc. Just throwing some ideas around. I know we will get some better ideas from other members, I don't have much of an imagination for this. Let me know. Thanks..........

Ok cobra guys now just relax i know you'll spank me bad in the 1/4 but any time you want to try me on the road course i'll be there lol :pepper: anyway we'll all have fun come october so we need everyone in the stands for me and steve's (stang lover) run ok later everyone......bye steve :pinkthumb:lol.

On the main track which uses the drag strip as the straight i hit 140 so you should have no prob but now remember iv'e been doin this stuff for 7 years now so its not always how fast you are but it is alot of fun you should try it i race with proautosports.com check'em out next race is in may then they shut down for a couple months for summer then the next race will be in sept im not going in may but i am in sept.

No thats not a goos tire to use you'll be all over the place you need a good street tire that handles good and i mean GOOD!!! or road race tires like hosiers's R6's great road race tires plus suspension like maximummotorsports like what i have to make it handle so when im in the turns i wave goodbye :hi: see ya lol but it is alot of fun once you do it you'll be hooked andy with the red cobra he's coming out talked to him about it when we were in cali at fab ford forever.

I can't wait until October so we can run again. I hope Dave can get some shirts going for us. I was thinking we could let the Announcer in the Tower know of our Rivalry. They would run with it that is for sure and get the crowd going. We need to get it on video and post it on You-Tube. That would be awesome. I was just kidding on the 'Juice' since my engine isn't set up for it. I don't care because I am going to run it hard anyway. Keep talking smack though because I love it. You are going to have to knock me off of the podium. Good luck, but just be careful because you might be eating your words again. I am sure I will hear the excuses again as well. LMFAO..........
