FRIDAY NIGHT BBQ!
Thanks to our local member Nelson, there will be a BBQ on Friday night. $5-$10 donation.

The Saturday drive will be a 70 mile run up Highway 4. Taking us up to 10,000' through some great winding roads! Lunch along the way will be at Los Ojo's! You can choose to come back the same way or go to Santa Fe and make the loop. Thank you Nelson(Madswede) for putting the drive together. See map.

Saturday night, dinner and awards will be at very 914 friendly Turtle Mountain Brewery. (1 mile from the hotel) Props to Nico for making room for us during their 15th anniversary weekend!

Marked and noted. I haven't made one yet. Hopefully this year. Maybe in a moving truck.... Minus 26 deg here today with a -55 deg wind chill factor.

Mine MAY be driveable by then .... it may not be finished, but will hopefully be driveable !! Albuquerque is about 4 hours from me so if nothing else I may can show up in something else !!

I would really like to make this, since my son and two grandsons live in Albuquerque, we'll see though, cars on the lift...engines on the ground.


Jeff

Hmmmm, That's close to me. Please let me know where to meet.

I'm in.

Make up your mind, Jeff ... the motor's out, then in, then out again ...

After breaking down on the way to Red Rocks, I would really like to make this trip. I've waited so long to put my engine back together, I hope I can remember how it's re-assembled.

Hmmm....

This could give me some awesome motivation to get mine on the road.

Hey Rick: Maybe I can rent a double-trailer and pick you and a car up on the way?

Noted .... 753 miles .... maybe not this time.

Where's the fuel pump?

Nay, I'm driving her. But we can caravan.

Turtle Mountain anyone?

Just under 2900 miles & 45 hours of driving

Hell yes I'm in! Timing is perfect as I need to be in Vegas for work the following monday. So instead of the company spending money on my plane ticket. They can pay for most my gas . I think my daughter Kiana will be coming with. Looks like a great week for me. I'll fly her back to SLC from Vegas. Then fly my wife out to Vegas later in the week. She'll keep me company on the drive back through CA the following weekend . I'm stoked

I know right, got almost finished reinstalling the 2056, then it sold, now its back out waiting to go down south, the new six is sitting there waiting for McMark to have time to install the new motor mount......so realistically I'm shooting for RRC.


Jeff

I'm in

Right now?........in a cabinet....bought a new one....eventually it will go in the front trunk........maybe.....you know vapor lock is just a myth.


Jeff

I might have an open seat, Ron ... but it's only a measly '4'


Michael, do you want me to bring those Honda GL-1200 air boxes?

Nice to see some new faces on the potential attendee list!

It is absolutely amazing that this will be the 10th year for the Route 66 Classic.
I never thought it would last half this long.

I guess this will probably be the last one? Right?



Are there going to be any special surprises planned for this final anniversary event?

Why would it be the last one? ... you pulling your support?

No, . . . . your leg.





I'm just saying that you and everybody else who ever attended one of the previous 9 events, have an obligation to come this anniversary year.

(virgins are always welcome)

It doesn't matter what you drive either. Just show up.

I bet I know of a pic that will be taken in Tucumcari !!!!

Gotcha.

The 'BB' should be able to make a deuce appearance ... no more Toyotas or H2O VWs

Lake Havasu?

Yeah, 2012. I didn't make it last year.

You remember my first run, don't you?

Yep .... watched the fake Bug blow in my rear view mirror ...

This is just a quick ride out on the company jet perhaps I could blast out after work on saturday and fly home sunday.

I was marking up my new 2014 calendar and realized that I have another event scheduled for that same week end

Easy enough. Cancel the other event.

Unfortunately, there's a atmospheric balloon project that I'm involved with and the team is counting on my presence ...

Tell them to let go of it....let it float up and let you know what happens. My guess is that it will pop. But I am no scientist.

I submitted a schedule change request ... we'll see what happens

Well, you are known for expelling gas so you won't blow up.

So what's the plan on this thing? Meet up in Albuquerque and go on local drives? Drive east or west to some destination?

No, it isn't the annual 'Blue Flame' convention

... although, it IS a fun gig

I can't say I can keep up, but maybe I can come too?

Tambien! IMHO, Red River is much nicer than ABQ.

We will nail down a host hotel and camp there for two night. Friday night a meet & greet in the parking lot. Saturday a day trip somewhere with lunch along the way. We'll squeeze in a show & shine as well. Then Saturday night dinner with awards at a location TBD. Sunday you can roll out whenever you need to.

More details will follow soon.

That's 1000 miles from my house Jeff. You're another what? 150? Talk me into it.

I will
here kitty kitty! Whats a measly 1150 miles. Here Kitty Kitty

I see it as about 1400 miles each way. With a 4 and somewhat heating heads i may just see you in passing. But i am tweaking towards rich to get the heads happy. And eric is either going to findv me new shocks or perhaps evaluate the car in person. My moms ashes will be riding along. How she loved the four corners region. I think Seattle was never the same for her, beautiful as it was even back in the quiet days. She wont be making the return trip.
Here it is just going to sit beflow zero for a week, so when my block of lectures ared done yet spring is a minimum of two moths away, well. I hope to be ready. Last year i missed out.
Gonna try to make this work. I have the summer tires on. Need to change?

I thought it went through santa fe, not abq. Route 66 that is. I admit to being vague on this.

No, it ran through ABQ (Central Ave. is old Rt. 66), although for some reason there are some historic rt. 66 signs near Santa Fe too... Is a cruise up through the Jemez on the Docket? I know the owners of a Music camp in Jemez that might let us rent out the camp (individual cabins, etc. if that would be of interest).

It hits ABQ. That said, Route 66 is not a requirement for this event. :-)

At some point coming. You should hit Route 66 one way or the other. Just a name & an excuse to get a bunch of psychotic teeners together for a party

Well we could always do one of he Breaking bad tours? I know of a store downtown that carries a "special" kind of rock candy.

Your car will be done by then....no reason not to go.

My white car won't be making the trip...its being taken apart and body work started....once the engine mount is welded in and oil tank holes cut it will get painted before I put it back together....so no trips for that car this year....unless I make RRC.

But I did buy a "running" car so I would have something to drive, it may look ugly....but if I can get it mechanicaly sound, or close...I'll drive it

Here's a shot of the grandsons at the 66 diner in Albuquerque, last year on my trip.
