It'll be my luck that it's AZ or somewhere close, and we'll get orders to move to the East Coast a week before.

Thanks for all of the excellent suggestions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Please, keep 'em coming.
QUOTE(r_towle @ Apr 25 2017, 07:37 PM)  I would like to attend next year so please do it on a different weekend than Hershey, Consider it done. Maybe you can convince Ed & Jenn to make the trip west as well. QUOTE(mgp4591 @ Apr 25 2017, 08:45 PM) . . . Rt.66 . . . driven on previous events... What were some favorites and how long has it been since those have been driven? We have been as far east as Albuquerque. We have hit most of 66 in Arizona including several times on the longest intact stretch of the highway from Seligman to Kingman. Most would agree their favorite leg is from Kingman to Oatman. QUOTE(914_teener @ Apr 26 2017, 09:07 AM) Prescott is nice as well.....and Sedona is beautiful. QUOTE(Elliot Cannon @ Apr 26 2017, 10:01 AM) I like the La Posada hotel in Winslow. Not much else in town but a great relaxing hotel. QUOTE(Coondog @ Apr 26 2017, 04:53 PM) with two events in Calif we need to get back to Arz. As far as Phx goes it's like L.A you want to be out of there by 1pm on Friday. QUOTE(hcdmueller @ Apr 26 2017, 06:01 PM) Yarnell hill and the roads beyond are pretty good. All true. |

It seems like the consensus is central Arizona.
We have been to Winslow twice, Prescott three times, never stayed in Sedona but driven thru a few times. Flagstaff was our city of choice multiple times. Only once have we been in Phoenix. I love the maps, but I fear those routes may be a bit ambitious. Two years ago we stayed in Flag. The first day we did the Grand Canyon. The Saturday tour was Flagstaff, Sedona, Jerome, Prescott. It was a full day. (On fantastic roads.) |

Another option . . . .
Start in Phoenix. Patrick Motorsports sound cool, if they will have us. Or, a quick stop a PIR for a photo opp. (maybe even a track tour) Wickenburg, Congress, lunch in Prescott. Then Skull Valley, Bagdad and on to Kingman for the night. (Yeah, it's a shit hole, but it is in the song. Plus, we have never stayed there.) ((I promise the road out of Bagdad is excellent fun.)) Day two is not as solid yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Rt 66 to Oatman is a must. From there we could go to Havasu or Laughlin for the banquet. Or ? ? ? We could double back, do 66 and party in Flagstaff or Winslow. |

I'll do some research on eastern AZ routes. Out 60 through Globe to Safford to Eager...I've heard the drive up 191 along the NM border is worthwhile. Be good to try something new. Mount Lemmon in Tucson is also a fun drive although short...maybe we can add a southern AZ wine country tour.

I vote Flagstaff. I know there is not much left open on the route but It's been a while since we had a Rt 66 run on actual Rt 66. Miss those days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
IF we decide that we want to shoot for a tour of PMS let me know, I would be happy to ask him. We also have the Penske Museum right up the street next to the Porsche dealership. I would also be more than happy to offer up mi casa for a BBQ on a Thursday if people want to start in PHX a night early. I will say that spring can be $$$ for hotels in the area but we have plenty of room for tents (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I hated missing this year so looking forward to next! |

QUOTE(VegasRacer @ Apr 25 2017, 07:11 PM) Since everyone is still jazzed from the fantastic event (thanks Kent) this past weekend, now seems like a good time to make some plans for next years traveling party.

If no one else steps up I'll help. QUOTE(VegasRacer @ Apr 26 2017, 08:06 PM) It seems like the consensus is central Arizona.

Here's a few route ideas for comment. You can probably tell that I like to drive so if these routes are too long let me know.
These routes assume you will arrive in PHX on Thursday evening or early Friday morning and depart from Flagstaff on Sunday morning. #1 Arrive Phoenix Thursday PM or early Friday PMS tour Friday AM Friday Drive PHX > Wickenburg > Prescott (124 miles) Overnight in Prescott Saturday Drive Prescott > Cottonwood > Pine > Flagstaff (159 miles) Awards dinner Saturday night in Flagstaff Sunday - game over, go home  #2 PMS tour Friday AM Friday Drive PHX > Payson > Camp Verde (147 miles) Overnight in Camp Verde Saturday drive Camp Verde > Sedona > AZ Snowbowl > Flagstaff (93 miles) Awards dinner Saturday night in Flagstaff Sunday - game over, go home  #3 PMS tour Friday AM Friday Drive PHX > Payson > Camp Verde (147 miles) Overnight in Camp Verde Saturday Drive Camp Verde > Cottonwood > Sedona > Valle (Planes of Fame museum) > Flagstaff (181 miles) Awards dinner Saturday night in Flagstaff Sunday - game over, go home  #4 PMS tour Friday AM Friday Drive PHX > Payson > Winslow Overnight in Winslow Saturday Drive Winslow > AZ Snowbowl > Flagstaff (85 miles) Option to add Valle Planes of Fame museum adds 90 miles to Saturday drive Awards dinner Saturday night in Flagstaff Sunday - game over, go home  |

Michael,
I'd be down with any of those, I'd prefer #1 (maybe via Carefree instead of Grand Ave) and #2. Lots of nice twisty roads and not much freeway. Thanks for doing the footwork. If you need some help, let me know (I realize this is probably 10-11 months away). |
