914World.com _ Past Event Planning Threads _ Route 66 Classic 2005 - June 11, 2005

Thanks to John Peterson (VegasRacer) for suggesting this event, taking care of the T-shirts, and driving the route West-East ahead of time to scope things out.
I really appreciate all the folks who came out for it, especially those who came all the way from S. CA just for a 1-day drive. I had an absolute blast! We'll definitely be talking about what can be done for 2006!

Breakfast! Renda & her crew really outdid themselves (Yes, it's Renda, not Brenda - one of her crew corrected me on the name)

Not exactly a LeMans start, but it's a lineup of sorts - the usual suspects.

Lots of old stuff to look at. I always loved those old milk trucks - I remember when my family got milk delivered to the house by one!

Grand Canyon Caverns. We seemed to always end up in this order. By the end of the day I was getting pretty good at backing up the teener.

I think we were a little bit more to handle than our guide was used to

Suuuurrrrrre.
I was giving Ernie crap about pics of me being taken when I was doing something silly (like stuffing my hair back in my hat).
