There has been some discussion in the past about other 914 Classic events.
I would like to help keep the ball rolling to make them a reality.

Is a Red Rock Classic for the fall still in the works for the Utah / Colorado area?
A 1 or 2 day run on Route 66 from Flagstaff to the California border might be a possibility. Does anyone have any interest in helping me plan such an event?

The 'Red Rock Classic' event that was mentioned before was in the Moab / Canyonlands area.

I am trying for figure out some other western event before summer that will not clash with the WCC in April. May / June is not to hot for me. Any other brave warriors?

We actually have set the dates for the Red Rocks Classic at Moab.

Its fall though:

half day of Friday Sept. 23rd
all day of Saturday Sept. 24th
and half day of Sunday Sept. 25th.

A little bit of planning has been done, although we intend to plagerize some of the driving tours from a boxter group that is a friend of Eric Shea's

I tenatively thought that once the WWC was past, a more official announcement would be made with more details.

Moab is a beautiful rock canyon area of Utah. We think that Joe from New Mexico (914RS) will be driving over with some of our NM friends (maybe a few texas people also?) and Eric will be bringing some of the good people of Utah... John Lush will hopefully be bringing some of the Wyoming folk. We also hope to have you present and anyone else from the West that wishes to attend. Finally I think there will be a 10+ caravan coming up from Denver on Friday.

There are so many good roads in that area, just pick one and you'll be pleased with the drive. Looking forward to going to this event. I might be able to help with the road choices. I've done a lot of seismic work in that an know the roads pretty well. Fall is a great time, not to hot, it gets pretty hot in that area in the summer months.

Anyone want me to post pics of the Red Rocks?
I have pictures from when I went to the Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah last year.

A bit off topic, but.........When I bought my new 914 in 1970, our first trip was a big circle, Portland, Boise, Salt Lake, Las Vegas, LA, SF and home. Two people, plenty of luggage space, top off in an instant, 30 mpg. Probably felt more comfortable on a 29 year-old back than it would now. The most memorable part of the trip was the top off drive through Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, with Zion Nat'l Park a close second.

edit: Toast, post some please.

I am delighted to hear this good news. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
You can plan on at least one person from Nevada being there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

By default, that leaves the Route 66 classic for late spring.
The response so far has been disappointing, but those who know me will tell you I don't give up that easy. What I had in mind was a short event that people from Arizona, California and Nevada could all agree on and get together for a drive and some socializing. We could go east to west (or vise versa). One end would be around Ash Fork. The days drive would follow Route 66. We could even visit the Grand Canyon. The other end could be dinner in Laughlin. Both ends would allow easy access for travelers to arrive or get home.
QUOTE
Route 66, the road is tore up for most of the route

True, but most of this proposed route is not that bad. The streach outside of Oatman is a blast to drive. I don't expect 100 cars, but I think if would be a lot of fun if we could get a dozen or so. How does Sunday May 22nd sound? It would be to crowded the following weekend which is Memorial Day. Would June 5th be better? Late May should be warm but not to hot.

Come on guys (and gals). Anybody wanna play with me? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

It doesn't look good for me to make WCC2005 so the "Route 66 Classic" is looking like a pretty good thing. Until I looked at the map, I didn't realize that there was so much of the old road left. I thought the section by Seligman was all there was!

The Red Rock Classic looks like it could be a go also. I haven't seen dates yet for the Arizona Bus Club's annual Jerome Jamboree, but I think it will be a week or two before the RRC dates. I hope so, I'd hate to have to choose!

Now, I've got to get that clutch tube fixed, or I won't make the Route 66 event either! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

One of these days I still want to drive as much of old route 66 as I can can. I'll take the lumps and waves and all, I really want to do it. But it can wait for another year or two.
