914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rt 66 Rally 2019 - Lake Havasu City, AZ
Posted by: michael7810 Jan 2 2019, 05:45 PM
Route 66 2019 is returning to Lake Havasu City, AZ with drives on Rt 66 to Oatman/Kingman on Friday and across the Parker Dam to find some twisties on the CA side on Saturday.
UPDATED: HOTEL CHANGE
I have a block of 20 rooms at the Holiday Inn Express for April 11-14 as follows
8 King City View @$139
7 Double City View @$139
5 King Bridge View @$149
Prices do not include taxes
Includes
- Breakfast
- Fitness room & heated pool
- Internet
- Roped-off area in the parking lot
Holiday Inn Express
40 London Bridge Road
Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403
You don’t have to stay 3 nights to get the rate (more on that later). The HI is in the same area as the Hampton we stayed at in 2012 and is a brand new property just opened in September 2018.
The plan for Friday (4/12) is to depart for Oatman/Kingman by 10AM so an Option is to drive to Havasu on Friday morning (i.e. don’t stay at hotel on April 11th) and still make the twisties.
Be sure to make your hotel reservations before March 11th when the room block expires. You can reserve your rooms by calling the hotel directly (928-733-6388). The group name is “PCR”. Or use this https://www.hiexpress.com/redirect?path=hd&brandCode=EX&localeCode=en®ionCode=1&hotelCode=IGMHV&_PMID=99801505&GPC=PCR&viewfullsite=true click on Book Now, enter the dates and the correct rates will display.
Attendees:
Michael7810 (1)
76-914 (2)
Larmo63
don-6
TravisNeff (most likely)
jim_hoyland
VegasRacer
ValcoOscar
Coondog (c’mon PMS get his car done)
914Toy

Chris914n6 (probably most likely)
olsib914

stephend914

…I may need to increase the room block 
PLEASE reply if you are interested so I know how many to plan for.
Anyone want to step up and help with T-shirts, vendor swag, and awards that will be great...otherwise this will be drinking, eating, camaraderie & driving event (not necessarily in that order).
Anyone who is familiar with the roads on the CA side of the Parker Dam and wants to plan a route for Saturday that will be helpful. We drove those roads in 2012 but I can't remember where we went. I'll plan the Friday drive to Oatman/Kingman and promise to bring enough maps for everyone unlike in 2018.

Spoke to Keith today and this sounds like a much needed escape for the projects underway in AZ. Drove the 914 today for an hour or so and all is good to go - and I have noticed that if I let it sit for more than a week, it is quite hesitant to start. Solution: Drive it.
On the trip, I'm in. It will be good to see this dysfunctional symbiotic team yet again.

Was hoping to make it but my daughter graduates with her nursing degree & walks on the 12th. That & a chance to see my grandbaby to boot. I won't be making it to Route 66. Barring some crazy flight down to catch the 2nd half anyway. Which I don't see happening. Would have been great to finally be out there with my car. Which is supposed to be done. Of course it was supposed to be done last summer

Just 5 more weeks before the room block is released to the general public. Get your reservations, you can always cancel later if your plans go south. Hotel just told me only 5 rooms are booked.

ADMINS .. can we get a highlight on this event?
Posted by: Driver174 Feb 18 2019, 12:50 AM
Is there a tentative schedule so we can see if we can fit in somewhere? We could probably trailer car down on Friday, and return to Vegas Saturday evening. Thanks,

Basically the plan is
Arrive Lake Havasu Thursday evening
Depart LH Friday around 9:14 and drive to Oatman-Kingman. Have
Lunch in Kingman and return
Depart LH Saturday around 9:14 for Parker Dam and TBD drive on the CA side returning around noon
Group dinner on Saturday night
Depart Sunday for home

Depart LH Friday around 9:14 and drive to Oatman-Kingman. Have lunch in Kingman and return
Start the tour on Friday at 9:14 or 10:00?
It makes a difference for those of us not staying in Havasu on Thursday night.
(10 am would work much better for me.)

^^ #MeToo Looking like a handful of cars coming in from Vegas Friday morning. We'd like to do a group breakfast before the 2.5 hr drive, plus unload a trailer or 2.
If the 2hr, lunch, 2 hr drive is the only thing planned that day... no reason to rush.

I thought the precedent was to announce 9:14 as the start time, then someone has car problems and by the time that gets sorted we don’t get underway until (well after) 10:00. We will not start without the LV contingent.
Posted by: 76-914 Feb 19 2019, 09:07 AM
9:14 is the appointed time. It's just that we never get it together before 10:00.
Posted by: michael7810 Feb 25 2019, 08:01 AM
Monday
If anyone knows a good driving route for Sat please let me know. I’m thinking across the Parker Dam on the CA side. Thanks
Posted by: michael7810 Feb 28 2019, 09:10 AM
Ok here’s what I’m thinking for Saturday’s drive. Total route is 107 miles and should include a mix of twisties and scenery. We will be back in Lake Havasu just after lunch to allow time to enjoy Lake Havasu and/or BS’ing in the parking lot. I know the road to Black Meadows Landing is paved but I’m not sure about the road to copper basin. I will try to drive the route before April. Either way we can just skip Copper Basin if the road is dirt. There is also a restaurant at Black Meadows Landing if we want to eat there.
From Lake Havasu:
South on Rt 95 to Parker Dam Rd and photo stop near the Dam
Rt onto Mwd Rd to Black Meadow Rd to Black Meadows Landing
Back on Black Meadow Rd to Copper Basin Reservoir
Continue to Parker Dam Rd to Parker for lunch stop
Return to Lake Havasu after lunch

Lesson learned.
I've been using the jump box lately, finally put in a real battery. Turns out the voltage was dropping below the ECUs minimum to operate with the starter engaged. Yay 911 starter
Still have a few big things to get done but it's promising.

Posted by: jb57tub Apr 2 2019, 05:06 PM
Steve, hope you're having a good drive. If you're going I40 to Cali, remember to stop at Topac for a BLT, on the way. About 7 miles west of SH95, (the turn-off to Lake Havasu City), on the west bound side. If not you can always stop on the way back to LHC. Just a thought, one of my favorite places to stop while in the area. Have a good time. Jon
Posted by: forrestkhaag Apr 2 2019, 07:42 PM
The Saturday drive route seems a little unsorted. Having used Black Meadow Landing as a hideout camp and departure for many a SeeDoo excursion in decades past, I can tell you the road sucks and the route has many turns and twists that, if a boat trailer gets in the mix, the fun is over. 14 mph for miles of unseen drunks on the road in every direction.
Just a thought / always have two ways out at all times - and preferably cell connection / BML has none of that AAA backup. That road is one way in and one way out.
jBut, I will go anywhere. 
just a thought....

Sat drive is definitely unsorted. Having received no input until now I picked the route based solely on Google Maps. I plan to predrive it Thursday morning. If it really sucks we can head out to Oatman again or drink beer and hang out at the beach.

Well that's that.
Sorta good that I have a system.
The oil lite didn't want to turn off.
Drop the filter... no flow.
Reason... unknown at this moment, but with all the cranking I've been doing it would be a miracle if the bearings weren't damaged. 
Now I need to decide how much I want to spend to get the bastard to WCR in 2 months. I will not be renting a Fiat

The plan for Friday (4/12) is to depart for Oatman/Kingman by 10AM so an Option is to drive to Havasu on Friday morning (i.e. don’t stay at hotel on April 11th) and still make the twisties.
Depart LH Friday around 9:14 and drive to Oatman-Kingman. Have lunch in Kingman and return
Start the tour on Friday at 9:14 or 10:00?
It makes a difference for those of us not staying in Havasu on Thursday night.
(10 am would work much better for me.)
Ok so my plan is to fly in to Vegas Thursday night and join the group down Friday morning. I even have another local 914 friend who will be joining us Mikey from Vegas. Do we have as meeting time to caravan down? @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=481 @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=431 @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=1580

These 914's don't like "real mechanics" working on them, Chris. Go get you neighbor to get it running.

The only other mechanic in my 'hood is also a car dealer so I don't trust him
This would be a good time to finally let me drive your subie 6
I'll be looking for passenger seats for the runs

My wife recently had surgery, and with the time spent on her rehabilitation and other family and work needs, I didn't get my car back together in time.
Have fun and be safe.
Hope to see you all at the WCR

I see that some will possibly be driving from southern Cali to Vegas later this week. I'm looking to get a 901 transmission from Anaheim to Vegas, and think Greyhound will want approx. $100 to transport it.
I'll be happy to give someone the $100 to pick it up in Anaheim and haul it to Vegas.
Anyone near Anaheim?
Thanks,
Jim
Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 10 2019, 12:52 AM
^^ I'll be in the PartsFinder, so if it gets to Havasu I can get it to Vegas if that helps....
I'm also picking up some goodies from Jim @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=643

I spy. I see that the "Parts Hauler" secretly wishes it was a 914!

FYI - For those of you SoCal Teeners unable to make Rte-66 this weekend ....
You might want to come out for the PCA Concours on Saturday in Santa Clarita to show off your 914, or just to visit & see some nice P-cars near Tragic Mountain Bemusement Park!
More info at this topic -

Don-6 - How about some 1/2 day sanity time there?
You made me think of posting here for the left-outs!
For those going - safe travels & have fun!
Cheers!

Wish I could have made. My car wasn't ready anyway. MY Daughter also graduates with her BS in nursing today. I had hopes if my car was ready of maybe catching a late flight to Vegas tonight to join you all tomorrow. Wasn't meant to be. Although I am working hard here

I made it home OK. Jason followed me to Phoenix while we both tried to figure out why Forrest pulls into rest stops and doesn’t stop! Maybe I don’t want to know. Anyway it was great meeting Ian and Mikey, seeing old friends and my 
Big thanks to Matt from 914Rubber, Mikey from Der Faszination and Oscar for the goodies. I won’t make WCR but plan to be at Okteenerfest. This photo sums up the weekend, Route 66 and oil stains (except for 1 of us because I know Suby engines are perfect and don’t leak oil).
Cheers

Same here...arrived home safe an hour ago. Drove back in a mini caravan with Keith and Kent. Stopped at a rest stop were we met up with a tourist group from Paris...my french isn't very good but I showed them some photos of our event.
Until next time....

Hey Forrest, are you going to be back in town for WCR in June?
Posted by: 76-914 Apr 15 2019, 03:48 PM
Returned yesterday afternoon. There were no breakdowns, 1 speeding ticket, and 3 recorded hangovers. It's always a great time being with friends and 914's. Matt and Ian will be posting some cool vid's in the near future! While Oscar was being assaulted by the French from the south I was furiously fending questions on the north side of the rest stop. This particular stop was called by Keith. Using the universal signal for "I'm about to wet myself" he roars around me and begins to weave about anyone that wasn't going 88mph. After arriving at and shutting down, Keith had vanished. As I was locking up a lady came to say that Keith had left his driving lights on and that she and her husband had met and dated in one. Another lady cleaning the grounds asked what year mine was and went on to say that a guy who owned a 914 once asked her out and she had agreed. She cancelled the date when she found out he'd sold the car day's before their date. What a character! Another said he had one in high school and on and on. Yes, Oscar outdrew Keith and I but rightfully so. His car is stunning.
Great job Michael! Thank you for all the effort you put into this event that we all got to enjoy. I enjoyed myself immensely as did my guest.
