Since everyone is still jazzed from the fantastic event (thanks Kent) this past weekend, now seems like a good time to make some plans for next years traveling party.

We need suggestions on where to have the event?
Cities to invade? Roads to terrorize? Parking lots to party?

It would be awesome is someone is brave enough to step up to be the host / planner.

I would like to attend next year so please do it on a different weekend than Hershey, maybe one or two weeks later so the weather we would drive away from is not as challenging.

How about this

Friday 10:00am meet and greet at Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix. Get a tour of the shop have a food truck show up for lunch then hit the Hwy to Payson Arz. for the night.
90 miles of fun driving, elv. 5000

Sat. Drive to Camp Verde or Clarksdale for lunch then into Sedona, Flagstaff, or Prescott for banquet.

I agree on the off Hershey weekend and not on the same weekend as Calif speed event which PMS attends.

Sunday is for peeps who want to hit other R.66 stuff.

Maybe Larmo and I will even have our cars done by then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg)

I'm guessing that not a square inch of Rt.66 hasn't been driven on previous events... What were some favorites and how long has it been since those have been driven? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Upland-Rancho R66 museums..

R66 route backside to Angeles Crest or Big Bear

Backside Angeles Crest to Mullholland to the Beach.

This would be a lot of the old R66 and off major fwys. Could also be scheduled around the FOS weekend for those involved in PCA?


Prescott is nice as well.....and Sedona is beautiful.

Great event this last time.

Sounds like you have it pretty well planned out. Keep going. Hotels? Ummm, wait. Did you mention Flagstaff? Were you there last year? Brrrrr! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I like this plan. would agree we should hit Route 66. How about on to Flagstaff then Route 66 over to Winslow. Stand on a corner, then route 87 down the beeline back to Phoenix?

I like the La Posada hotel in Winslow. Not much else in town but a great relaxing hotel. And warmer than Flagstaff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here is a potential round trip staring at Patrick Motor sports, north to Winslow and Route 66, over to Flagstaff. People can then split up if they like and head back to California or CO from Flag, or keep going South through Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, and Prescott back to Phoenix.

I'm a bit biased but I'll vote for the AZ routes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

However, it's already in the 90s out here so maybe up North AZ would be a bit better.

U gave me an idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hit up PMS either afternoon (lunch?) Friday or Sat morning. They would probable come in Sat to meet 20 914s and 30 people for a tour. Might actually appreciate us not interrupting normal work time.
Flagstaff or Winslow as a starting point Fri morning depending on trailer parking. Sat night awards at the other. Fri night in Phoenix.

In/Out of Sedona is a parking lot from what I hear so make sure you're not overheating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My two cents, but with two events in Calif we need to get back to Arz. As far as Phx goes it's like L.A you want to be out of there by 1pm on Friday.

My only input on this is go up to Wickenburg then Prescott. Yarnell hill and the roads beyond are pretty good.

Starting at PMS and up to Payson sounds great- then up to old 66 and back towards PHX on 89A from Flagg to Sedona- an INCREDIBLE road!! Could come back thru Yarnell and Wickenberg and stay off 17.

Above map sounds pretty damned good!! Not sure the 914 will make the whole trip but I'll come along in a mid engine car non the less...
