Rt 66 Car Show Sept 7~9 Flagstaff

[Rick Shopmier]

'bout 2 months out and ready to go. Go'n to Flag next week for 3 days of mid-summer cool down and a little recon for the run to the event. I am goin to check a different route up and back and will post up what they are like, any suggestions? Lookin for some old bits of the original Rt 66. Some of the ones I found between Williams and Flag are not recommended for Mustangs, and one is purly 4X. If you have not signed-up yet, suggest contacting the club befor you go. As many can attest this is the best way to end the summer. For those new to the area, you gotta do this. Heres a little teaser pic from last year.....looks kinda cool.

Something better than Phx-Prescott-Flagstaff? Has to have a good place for lunch. I'm sure we can arrange lunch with the town council memebrs again in Prescott. Let us know what you find. This time I'm going to continue through Williams and not take I-17.

For the morning cruise up to Flagstaff on Friday 7/7/12, what about having lunch at Sonic in Prescott? Great way to show off our cars and be by them or do you want a sit down restaurant? I'm trying to get a heaedcount so we know how much room we need. Please respond.

I'm ok with the Sonic (where is it). I still plan to do Wickeburg to Prescott like last year. Went to Flag a couple of weeks ago and the roads are good with just a little shoulder work in the twisties. Thinkin road trip!!!!!!!!!

[HanksGT]

Sonic is North of the town square, off 89 on Whipple Street. Seems easier than a sit down restaurant, but we're open to suggestions. Or we can do the parking garage and Firehouse Restaurant again.

Oh yes, we're still doing the meet in North and West Phoenix then Wickenburg, and up Yarnell Hill. It wouldn't be the same without that.

Hank I know Marine John, Bonnie and myself will be going on Friday.

Friday am for me too. Jones Ford now has the old Chevy dealer location (hurah) as you come into Wickenburg on US60. I can check with them to see if they would host a meeting point/break stop before the run up Yarnell to Prescott. Lemme know if interested. This year we need to do a better job with the caravans so we meet on time and stay together to avoid the problems we had last year. I will again shoot video (have HD this year) and any one else with a cam could shoot and we can build a real movie. I have last years video, shown it a Hanks, maybe all of us going could do a movie nite before the run to show it again. Thirty nine days and counting, I am so ready to go!

[HanksGT]

Sounds like the start of a good crowd. Hope everyone joins in for the lunch run.

Maybe we can get a few volunteers (east, west side and north maybe) to keep in touch by phone on progress. I don't think we did too badly with me hitting my garage and John's battery needing replacement before we we left Costco. Should we just meet at the Burger King in Wickenburg again, so we're facing the correct direction for departure?

I know a few of us will be taking it a little easier up the twisties after seeing those rescue photos last year. Andy fixed my front end clunk, so I'm ready for it.

Buddy stopped at Sonic in Prescott and got the managers number. We'll call him the day before with an approximate number of people and he'll bring in extra staff. If you don't want to eat in your car there are picnic tables out front.

I'm ok with a Thursday night movie if anyone wants. Maybe we could set up a couple of people heading out first to shoot the cars coming by, then a few different folks leave early from the next stop so everyone will have a chance to get in the movie.

Berge group should leave by 8:15am to arrive at Costco and leave with that group at 9am to arrive in Wickenburg by 10. West side leave at 9am? Leave Wickenburg at 10:15 to arrive in Prescott/Sonic around 12.
