If you are looking for a great fall run, the Route 66 Car Show is it. September 9 to 11 is a great time to be in the cool mountains after a blistering summer here in the valley. I am posting this now because there is limited registration for this show. Joe T and I were talking about this show and how fast it sells out. As of now there are 250 registrations in (add mine +1) and the max is 425 (do the math 174 left). The show is in downtown Flagstaff (a great place) in a park and on the closed city streets. Goto their website for info and registration ($ 35....cheap) www.route66carclub.com. Hotel rates run from $50 a nite up and suggest you stay in the Woodlands area (near I-10 and I-17). Copperstate turns out large for this show and it would be great if WWMC and AZMCC had a great showing. This is not a long drive (figure about 300 mi. round trip....a tank of gas) and close to home (support our state, no Cali fuel prices and after the tourist season for lower hotel rates). Some highlites are the poker run to local hangouts, parking lot picnic (hosted by CMC) and the drive. There are 3 routes to Flag: Westsiders can take Wickenburg, Yarnell, Prescott, and Ash Fork to Flag, or Mid-towners up I-17 to Flag, or Eastsiders run Payson, Pine and Flag. All great drives....MUSTANGS were built to be driven! "DID SOMEBODY SAY ROAD TRIP!!!!!!"
