All,

I hope a lot of you who have never been there show up....


Betty mentioned this event to Donna last year at the RCR. It sounds like a nice trip and a great time in an area of the country I have never seen before. Anyone going from or through Birmingham? We are thinking about going up to Memphis Thursday afternoon and heading on to Talihina Friday.

All,
It is time again for the annual Talimena 1 Run, on May 15, 16, and 17th. Come join us for a spirited drive from Talihina Oklahoma to Mena Arkansas along Highway 1 that runs the top of the Winding stair mountains.

Friday we arrive and sit at the hotel and socialize. Saturday we get up and drive to Mena along Highway 1. This is a "spirited" drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) with frequent stops for pictures and whatever. Then we eat lunch in Mena, turn around and drive back to Talihina.

In the evening the owner of the Kiamichi Inn allows us to push the cars back and have a cookout (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) in the parking lot, with lots of adult beverages. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) Then we don't have to drive anywhere, we can just walk (or stumble as the case may be ) to the rooms to sleep. Sunday we get up and drive home.

No pressure, no awards, no nothing... just a fun drive and a cookout with friends.


Anyone is welcome, even "Water Pumpers".... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


For room reservations, call the Kiamichi Inn (504 Dallas St. Talihina, Ok, 74571) at 918-567-2243. VERY important, tell "Kitty" or Carmin you're with the 914 group. Oh.. rooms 11 (Joseph Mills) and 14 (Betty and I) are already reserved.


I hope a lot of you who have never been there show up....


Sounds interesting for next year when I hopefully have my 73 2L running again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Haven't heard of the Talimina Run before this, but I've driven the 82/10/100 between Tahlequah & Sallisaw many times in other vehicles - mostly rentals lately & my 88 Westfalia `95-`01 every September & other times. So I'm guessing this is similar country & "twists"!

Avery, you HAVE to come! Robin and I will save some of the very choicest jello shots for you if you do! (yeah I know... girly stuff. I don't care, it's still booze) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (what would a jello shot smiley look like anyway???)

So... you bringing the Caddy? (just kidding... although you'd still kick our butts in that thing too!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

As far as scaring people..... I have a points system. If I can make my passenger "squeak" coming up to (I can brake REAL deep) or going around a corner - it's a point for me. If they don't squeak - it's a point for them. Loser buys the winner a drink when it's over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

We have our room (#30) reserved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Ken,

If you don't count the 3 schools we (PCA Maverick region) put on at the first of the year. We have 6 regular ax's and 6 Time Trials (high speed ax's). Two of the Time Trials this year will be at a real race track (MotorSport Ranch). Some of the cars will hit 90-100 mph at the TT's out in Mineral Wells, a 60 acre asphalt pad that was used to tie down helicopters at a Vietnam era Army training base.

She also beat Betty...

And considering that she beat a stock 76HP 914 1.8L with a well prepped 150HP 924S, well it ain't much of an accomplishment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Maybe you already talked to him, Clay. But Richard called me today. He is planning to go. I'm going to stay at his cabin, but we'll still drink and cookout with you. Maybe even have some Jello.

My car is broke again. Got home after the AX and pulled the tires to dismount and rotate. The passenger front is octagonal with flat spots and completely gone. The driver side is fine, but for a little wear on the inside. Shock oil is all over the passenger side suspension and wheel well. Wish I'd noticed that before.

New tires and Koni's are in the mail. With any luck it'll be back together this weekend. It never ends.


BTW, was it intentional that this is the same weekend as the next autocross at Pennington. Are you coming back Saturday night to make it, or are you skipping it? I kind of hate to miss the ones at Pennington. They're so close.

It was not intentional. I did not look a the Maverick AX schedule when Joseph and I picked the date.

I can't speak for Travis and Robyn, but I am not driving back on Saturday night. We tried that one year, and it was a miserable drive back in the dark, and we were absolutely miserable the next day.


I am glad Richard is coming. He and Riva are always fun to be with.

Travis..
That just ain't right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Mid-South Region has 2 DE's and the 2 mentioned ax's. The ax's are on part of Memphis MotorSports Park road course so I guess that counts for something. Last year they had 3 on part of the track and 3 on the same venues parking lot. The Regions calendar showed 6 ax's this year until last week. Something about new owners at the track. They say they are trying to save money. Yada, Yada.

Guess I should have went to the cooking school they had last month. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

We have an active SCAA and the BMW club also puts on a monthly ax so I am able to get some seat time.

I complained to the National PCA. The responce from the National people was I should think about traveling to adjoining regions to ax. 2 hours to LR or 3 hrs to Nashville or Jackson. MS would make for a very long day for 6 or so 1 minute rides.

See ya'll next month...

What price range and what type of accomodations you need? Want it just outside of Memphis in Olive branch or in Memphis. Let me know and I will check things out for you.

Downtown Mena was hit pretty good from what I've seen and heard on the local news. You may have to choose another place for lunch.

Any express type hotel for two on the way through town from B'ham is fine. Thanks for the help because I am not familiar with the Memphis area and although I feel sure Memphis is a very nice town I don't want to end up on the wrong side town in a pay by the hour dump.
