No it don't.....but I'm sure you two can earn enough for a tank full if you charge the boys in Corona instead of giving it out free (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif)

I approved this final proof from the shirt people today.
They are scheduled to be delivered by Friday next week.

I'm thinking Fri nite...6 pm...run to Williams...stay in the No-Tell Motel...

Leaving Sat Morn @ 2 AM and driving the rest of the day just leaves me cold.

Yea, I suppose you and your lover can stay in the room....but I'm gonna sleep with one eye open (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

My final decision, subject to change, of course.

Will drive to Laughlin early Saturday AM in SUV with A/C and good stereo to prepare the welcome wagon. Stay over Sat night, and perhaps Sunday if I'm winning (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I just booked my room for Friday night in Williams. I will be staying at the Econo Lodge. They seemed to be the best option. Located on Route 66 (302 E. Hwy 66, walking distance from the main drag in town) Gotta be close to the 'action'. Reasonable rates ($52 if you say you have AAA). They do still have rooms available. (928) 635-4085.

I'm getting very excited! My car is off jackstands for the first time in months. Tomorrow I have to install the battery and then it will be ready to fire up for the first time. I'm as nervous as can be, but can hardly wait for tomorrow after work to try it! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I'll pin the Event thread for this run from the Future Events forum up here in the garage tomorrow morning (which will be two weeks prior to the event). In the meantime... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon_bump.gif)

One of the hotels I considered down the street was located at 911 E. Route 66.
All of the reviews from Expedia were very bad. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chair.gif)

Where be williams ariz?
My parents live in Wickenburg, is it close to there?

Williams, AZ is on I-40, about 30 miles west of Flagstaff. Ash Fork, where we're starting with breakfast, is about 20 miles west of Williams.

From Wickenburg you either have to get back to I-17 and take that North to I-40 at Flagstaff, or go through Yarnell/Prescott/Chino Valley - the road ends at I-40/Ash Fork.

Google Map for Ash Fork

Wickenburg is in kind of a no-mans land that makes it hard to get anywhere from there!

MapBlast says the fastest route is through Yarnell/Prescott/Chino Valley - 127 miles from Wickenburg to Williams.

I'm in Surprise (about 20miles closer to Phoenix than Wickenburg) and I can vouch that the scenic route through Prescott is a much more relaxed route than the 17.

If I can make it I'll most likely take the back-way via Prescott.

I got 50 series tires too.... of course the other numbers are 245 and 16 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

I'll be staying at a friends place in Prescott - wanna make a meeting place? I'd post his address if I knew it. Guess I should make a phone call (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

My first POST! Yeah! I finally found a good 914 board... why it took so long I have no idea.

I can more than likely attend this event but will need to find a copilot as riding alone for hours and hours just isnt that much fun to me. I'm sure there's a fine lady here in phx that will be up for it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

btw, I have 245/50 15's... I dont run 4k rpm unless I'm doing almost 90....

Anybody close in Phoenix? I'd love to meet up and ask someone with more experience with these cars a lot of questions... I'll bring the Corona..

Nic
