Here's the "official" posting:
For the 3rd year in a row... we're driving down Oklahoma Highway One... one more time!  As it's been for the last two years... this is an informal NO FEES, NO FRILLS, NO T-SHIRT, real CHEAP MOTEL gathering of teener owners with an emphasis on DRIVING! Well... that and hangin' out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The date for this year will be Saturday, April 7th (day before easter). This weekend has been chosen because there will be no conflicting "car events" surrounding this date. Children are welcome and maybe we will have a 914 easter egg hunt. OVERVIEW: As in the past, the tour will be similar in nature to the MUSR road tours, in that there will be opportunities for some "spirited" driving, but it is not a race, nor is it a competition. If you want to race, feel free to meet me at the next MUSR AX... All participants are encouraged to drive at their own comfortable pace. We will be stopping on numerous occasions for "breaks" at the scenic viewpoints and a few "photo ops'. This will allow us to re-group when necessary. Bring your camera! We will meet in Talihina, OK, at the Kiamichi Inn. This is a classic "car" motel from the sixties, owned by Miss Kitty, who has again given her blessings for our Saturday night cookout in the parking lot right next to our cars. Many of us arrive on Friday. For the drive, from Talihina, we approach State Highway 1, also known as the Talimena National Scenic Byway, or for short, Talimena Drive. This road runs for sixty miles to the town of Mena, AR. Although other states can boast of a larger quantity of twisties, Talimena holds it's own when it comes to a driving challenge, and has been identified as one of the best sportscar roads in America by Car and Driver Magazine and various other car and bike organizations. It extends west to east on top of the ridgeline of Winding Stair Mountain and Rich Mountain in the Ouachita National Forest north of the Kiamichi Mountains. These sixty miles of highway are filled with sharp curves and 13% grades of unbroken blacktop. There are lots of both low and high speed turns with many tight switchbacks that are often preceded by steep downhill grades. Your brakes should be in their best condition. Several drivers have told me "THIS is better than any friggin' DE I've ever attended!" Overall, the road surface itself is in very good shape with only occasional, rough areas. There are many scenic vistas that overlook the valleys for pulling over and regrouping, or taking some pics. All of it comes together so nicely, that even if you're temporarily stuck behind a slow moving RV, it's still a cool drive. Remember, this is not a drive around the block - be adequately prepared... or be prepared to be adequately humiliated. Or cared for... or left behind (we'll pick you up on the way back). Extra parts, tools and AAA are strongly advised. We will tour around Mena, have lunch, and when everyone is ready, get back to the driving task at hand, and tour back to Talihina. Don't even bother trying to re-wind the turns backwards... won't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) After a break, we'll get together for our cookout and favorite beverages. Sunday morning we'll have a nice breakfast before heading home. This is a fair weather get together. Mild chance of rain will not deter us, however eminent threat of severe precipitation will cancel our plans. We will be in touch as the time draws near. Location: Kiamichi Inn (504 Dallas St.) Talihina, OK (http://www.talihinacc.com/). For reservations call 918-567-2243. Tell "Kitty" you're with the 914 group. The rates are about the same as last year: 1 bed 1-2 people 38.41 2 bed 2-3 people 49.39 3 bed 3-5 people 65.36 (In some cases, an extra 5.00 may be charged for the 3rd or 4th person) Attendees list as of 3/20: Joseph & Rea (plus Edith), OK Curt & Angela, OK Clay & Betty, TX Rusty, AL Doug & "Das Weibchen", TX Stephen, Krebs OK I will update this list as you reply to this thread or PM me. I'm working on a "schedule" of events. .. |

Joseph,
For the list of attendees: 1) It's Doug and David in Der <howeveryouspellthatgermanword> now (Woo Hoo! David is coming along too!! Doug, talk to Travis and Robin Howard about driving up together, they're leaving after work too). 2) I think Reva (Fisher) is how she spells her name. 3) Mike and Julie Floyd said they will not be able to make it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Also, regarding the Schedule of Events... I know it's pretty full... but can we squeeze some time in for some official "Bragging and Exageration of How Well You Drive"??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Also, maybe some "Oohing and Aahing Over The Cars"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

Here is our decal for this year.
There will be a small peel & stick and a larger one that will be the static-cling vinyl you can put on your car body (easily removable). The decal is RED not PINK! Attached image(s)

Tell him just how CLEAN I got the interior of her Royal Hineyness last night!!!! Yea.. I had to keep her from using armor-all on the seats, vinyl sections of the carpet, steering wheel and pedal pads. She thought it would be funny to watch LB slide under the dash the first time he hit the brakes hard! I told her that would be a really MEAN trick to play on him, considering he hasn't seen this car in 2 years! |

"Yea.. I had to keep her from using armor-all on the seats, vinyl sections of the carpet, steering wheel and pedal pads."
Awww man! Clay was mean to not let me pull that prank on Lawrence... it would've been FUNNY! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) I had it done to me once. There's nothing like the adrenaline rush you get from stepping on an Armor-All'd brake pedal pad that first time! You should've seen me beating on my sister for that one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Hmmpf.... besides, it wasn't even Armor-All (I don't like that stuff), I used something much better! Even if I had done it, it wouldn't have mattered anyway because he has cloth inserts in those seats. All he has to do is wear some courderoy pants and it's like wearing a racing harness! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Lawrence; you should be impressed, I even put all the loose change I found in a zip top baggie for you. Normally, the rule is... if I'm cleaning anything and I find money - it's MINE!!! Of course, all rusty washers and bolts remain yours... Tonight is scheduled for car washing and tiara polishing for The Princess! |

It also looks like Josh Mitchell will be joining us...
He has a narrow Sheridon body V8 car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) Clay - Did he call you tonight regarding the minor tranny issue ? I told him he should meet up with us over near your house and follow us to Mckinney, since he lives over in your neck of the woods - TE Attached image(s)
