What - 2010 Route 66
Where - Wickenburg, AZ
When - March 12th - 14th
Its that time of year again, spring time driving in AZ!
A few details are still being finalized but I wanted to get the date and location out so you could plan accordingly.

One queen bed - $71.09/night

BBQ/Meet & Greet on Friday - We will be accepting $5 donations to help the cause
Saturday's drive will include some great mountain roads as we run up to Prescott for lunch and a show and shine. We will be climbing up from about 2000 feet up over 6000 feet on our way.
Lunch will be in Prescott at The Gurley Street Grill right off of Whiskey Row. Food ranges from $8 - $13 and includes soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers and pasta.
Dinner Saturday night is Mexican at Anita's Cocina
Sunday breakfast and adios!
So far we have:

I've been wanting to make one of these. Anyone near Vegas going & have room for a passenger? I'm in Vegas the followin week for a work. I could come out early & head up for it. Worst case I could get a decent rental for the weekend. I'll have to try to pencil it in. How far is it to there from Vegas

593 miles for me...I will be there in Phoenix that weekend anyways.

The Alien is in storage. The overhead door had water seep under it and freeze there is a big bank of snow infront of the door. I will be lucky to get the door open before mid April. I put the car away with a broken transaxle, so even if I could get it out it's still broke.

Even better I am in Vegas that week. My convention is the 10-12th. I could get there late friday. I can probably get out of my show early afternoon to drive up. Just have to pony up to rent a Porsche. Hopefully I can get a decent rate on a boxter. Otherwise it will just be in some semi sporty new car
. That is unless some kind soul from Vegas is going to go & wants company 
. Either way I am going to come. I've only made 2 WCR's & one 914 shootout. I need to broaden my horizons
Posted by: MoveQik Jan 14 2010, 01:50 PM

Yes! And we need the PNW to represent. Never been done before at Route 66!

Okay I just booked my room at the Rancho
. I'm going to hold of on renting a car till closer to the event. Still rather ride in a 914 but at least I will make it 
I just had a great idea. I think Renegade Hybrids should seriously consider sending me in a 914 with their LS1 conversion. That way we can get a proper report from your typical 914 idiot
Posted by: Socalandy Jan 14 2010, 03:54 PM
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, I cant wait and thanks for getting it going! We know its alot of work

No need, they just bring soggy underwear and socks.

Hey now we have plenty of nice sunny weather. May through September is pretty kick ass. Not to mention it is flat out green everywhere & beautiful
. Hey I booked my hotel room & was only able to get it for $71.09 plus tax
What happened to the $60?
Posted by: Sleepin Jan 15 2010, 11:34 AM
$71.09 plus tax
What happened to the $60?Foreigner Tax and Rainy Weather Endangerment Tax.

Plus Wills is one of those RE Types and they only tell you their version of the truth ... kinda like used car salesmen.
Posted by: JRust Jan 15 2010, 05:16 PM
Got my rental too! A little PT cruiser convertable. Probably a POS but it was pretty dang cheap. So I figured why not 
. I'll bum a ride in a 914 once I am there 
Posted by: SLITS Jan 15 2010, 05:55 PM
For total success on a Route66 run, remember to order your tomatoes on the side.
And you'll love your rental Neon.
Posted by: Sleepin Jan 15 2010, 07:36 PM
PT Cruiser is quite possibly the worst car I have ever driven. I had the joy of driving one back from Denver after buying a 914...never again! (Sorry Dean)
Rent a HHR, I rented one of those for a while, not too shabby.
Yes, Tomatos on the side is always the best way to order your burger on a Rt66! 
Posted by: JRust Jan 15 2010, 10:44 PM
It's fine. How many wives will be coming? My wife is hinting she'd like to go. Not real sure she would enjoy it. She isn't the most sociable person. Still if there is going to be some other women there I may say yes
Posted by: Sleepin Jan 16 2010, 12:04 AM
Val will be there, I am sure Toast and perhaps Kim will be there as well. Kathy shows up probably more often than she wants to.

Mikeydubbyeaux, you should bring your daughter's pink car so Mike has a sweet ride. Just strap it to the back of your yellow bombardierteener

Well I am sure they will try to get me to upgrade when I get there. Really I don't care about what I drive there. I'm hoping to catch a ride in a 914 once I'm there. Rental is just to get me there for the most part. If anyone from Vegas is going I'd be happy to skip the POS rental

I have a buddy here named Waide. Rumor has it he will show up from time to time. If he is a no-show, you are welcome to jump in with me for the Saturday drive. If he does actually make it, I have to save the seat for him.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.....

Can't wait to see you guys!

Bump for updated hotel rates. Looks like the rate that Jamie got is as good as we are going to do.
Tell them you are with the Porsche Club...or the Porche Club as they put it.
Posted by: MoveQik Feb 2 2010, 11:56 AM
I added the attendees in the fist post. SO let me know if you are in so we can plan for food and make sure that we have enough rooms set aside.
Posted by: JRust Feb 4 2010, 02:43 PM
Here is my 914 I won't be driving for the event 
I'm also fairly close with my LE resto. There is an outside chance I will have it ready. Even if I do I doubt I'll feel good about making my engine break in be a long road trip. Plus when it's finished I am just going to sell it. With my luck if I took it on the trip I'd get wiped out by some idiot in a big truck 
My 70 914-8 will most likely still be on Jackstands for Route 66. Now for WCR it will be ready . Wish I had it finished now though. It would make quite the drive so I suppose it's almost better this way .

Stick with the super uncomfy PT. (that's got to be the best selling point for an upgrade that they can stick you with )
Posted by: Sleepin Feb 4 2010, 04:42 PM
I am looking forward to this one! We may be 914-less while we are there....but at least we won't be in a PT
We may have a 914 there, depending on the mood I am the cars are in that week! 
Posted by: Gint Feb 4 2010, 05:54 PM
I could always put the snow tires on the Jetta. Nah... Here's hoping for decent weather!
Posted by: Sleepin Feb 5 2010, 12:14 AM
I got my snow wheels in today! 
Unless, of course, I with the Wills' special!
Posted by: JRust Feb 5 2010, 12:24 AM
Unless those are gas burner 5-lug mahles. You have some owrk ahead to make them fit on that white 914
Posted by: Sleepin Feb 5 2010, 12:31 AM
They are six lug Toyota and Chevy pattern....looks like some serious hub drilling and a tad bit of flaring!

So is there an award for 'traveled the greatest distance to attend'?
My scenic route took me from Wyoming, drove to SLC, flew to MD, drove around that area and hit MD, PA, NJ, and WV, and now I'm flying to Vegas to ride another 4 hours in a PT drop top...
That's an easy 5000 miles to show up for this here event.

Yup! There is the Iron Seat award!
Posted by: MoveQik Mar 10 2010, 05:12 PM
Who is arriving when? I am guessing I will be there about 1:30 on Friday afternoon. Who's with me?
Posted by: Socalandy Mar 10 2010, 05:34 PM
Sounds about right for me. Lunch??
Posted by: Gint Mar 10 2010, 05:51 PM
Shar and I are hoping to knock out a couple of hundred miles after work tomorrow. Then we'll finish the rest of the trip Friday. Should be there around dinner time?
Damn shame I70 is completely closed through Glenwood Canyon. We were going to drive to Fruita and then take the scenic route through Moab.
Posted by: JRust Mar 11 2010, 12:17 AM
I'm really not sure how soon I'll be there friday. Really depends how work goes at the convention tommorow. I've got a busy day but if things go well tommorow. I should be able to leave Vegas no later than 2. That can fluctuate from 12-4 though .
I've got wake my ass up early tommorow to pick Jim up at the airport at 7am. Talk about being a dipshit. I booked the damn flight 
Posted by: Sleepin Mar 11 2010, 01:14 AM
We got a good start on it this evening!
Posted by: RJMII Mar 11 2010, 05:47 AM
it's a quarter to five and I'm up and stoked and ready to head to the airport!
I sure am glad that I can sleep all day at the Hotel if I need to. I'm just grateful someone bought the tickets for me, and am not complaining one bit.

Shar and I are in GJ and will be heading south through Moab in about 30 minutes. We're taking the 2 lane scenic route 600 miles, so it'll be a while before we get there.

It looked open. :-)
1 lane each direction. Patched rough road. Nothing to even get a photo of!

Off to change out my rental for one that works right I hope. Phuckin PTcruiser is a piece of crap. Well the one I got was just trashed. Sure hope the other one they got is better. After seeing the quality of this one I don't have high hopes. I need to pay more attention online when booking stuff. This Fox rent a car is an offsite place Just standing in line to pick up originally I had 3 people ahead of me swapping cars because theirs had issues . I just new it was going to be an issue. I'll give them one more chance & if this next one has issues. They are giving me a damn refund
Then I'll go somewhere else to find a car. Well we shall see in a few

Rick called from the road... He's picked up the car in California and is heading to Kansas. He asked me to let you know that he can't swing by route 66.

The Alien is in storage. The overhead door had water seep under it and freeze there is a big bank of snow infront of the door. I will be lucky to get the door open before mid April. I put the car away with a broken transaxle, so even if I could get it out it's still broke.
How bad is it broke?
I think if you look in that dig box of parts from TX there is a cut down one in there Posted by: JRust Mar 13 2010, 04:32 PM
Just in from the drive to Prescott & back. Nice windy roads
Huge thanks to Jason for the ride up. Much better than taking the rental up there. Oh yeah & we were the first to make it back LOL

Needless to say, we had a great time both nights and the drive Saturday was a great one with plenty of hard corners and some wide open areas as well. Food was great everywhere and the company was top notch!
I didn't take a whole lot of car pics but I did have to get some shots if Jim LaMonica's narrow bodied 3.6. This car is amazing to say the least. It was the runaway winner for the People's Choice award.

It was a little cold out at night. This was our solution: Sit around the BBQ with the lid slightly opened.

Those cans got hot!

Yeah it was a fun weekend. Glad I could make the event. Could have done without the rental car escapade. I just need to pay more attention when renting something online. Oh well though it was worth it. Great to meet all of you again & a few new ones too. Had a great drive yesterday in Jason's 914. Sweet ride that is & the company was great too . Thanks again for the lift.
Huge thanks to the organizers for setting it all up. Those 45 mph turnabouts were epic . Damn near got taken out by a Toyota Prious when we left this morning

Just returned home from the "route 66" event. Had a great time. Great people, cars, driving, weather, and biscuits and gravy. Thanks Mike for organizing such a good time.

I just got back from the Route 66 tour a few hours ago. I spent last night in beutiful downtown Barstow. Much thanks to Mike Wills for organizing another great event. Much thanks also to SoCalAndy and John (Elvira) Peterson for the hats and "T" shirts. Here's some pics of my drive home on the old historic route. I drove it so fast the CHP did some time traveling from 1956 to catch me!

Mike and I just completed our trek home. We hit some very unruly weather from west of Santa Fe (where we spent the night last night) through south of Raton. However, I think we only lost about 30 minutes travel time in the long run.
Outside of the weather home, though, it was a super event (I can't blame the planner for the weather). I had a great time - my fingers are healing nicely from picking up the hot bbq can... and I may have recovered from the major serious blonde moment(s) I experienced on Saturday evening... I NEVER have blonde moments and assume that was enough for this decade.
I didn't get photos of the event, so these are scenic pics of the trip to/from:
On the way to Moab (I mean Wickenburg, but these are from north of Moab)
North of Phoenix
Working to get out of Santa Fe this morning!

... and this is a super display of my wicked photo taking skillz (trying to get the Welcome To Colorado sign on the way from NM to CO - you can see the side of the sign to the left of the photo).

Just made it back to Tucson after my Vegas detour
7+ hours in a 914 makes for a sore arse! Car ran great except for 1 hot-start issue and a loose connection on my fuel pump. God its great when you are in the middle of nowhere and lose power! Glad it was just the connection!
MIKE: Thanks for organizing the event! It was a great time as usual. These events get me fired up to work on the car, gotta love it.
JAMIE" Glad you could ride along with me. I'd like to see that video you shot on our way down the mountain thru Skull Valley. If you have it posted somewhere, let me know!
Great to see old faces and make some new friends!
