I am going to bow out. I am not going to have my car ready in time. Funds are a little limited as well. So best for me to just miss this year . If anyone needs a hotel room. I will be canceling mine this week. Happy to let someone else take over my reservation. I was going to share a room with Chris from Vegas. So if there is someone looking to split a room. That is still a possibility. You've got until friday to take over my reservation if you want it. I am at the silver pines check in Friday. Checkout Sunday in the Owls Nest Duplex 8. With taxes it is 108.70 per night. Shoot me a PM if you want it

^^ Correction. I actually booked my own room in Idyllwild. We were going to split the Motel6, but that's not that pricey so don't worry about me

I'm up in the air on this one.

I'll have the engine removed this weekend hopefully but I may not have it fully fixed in time to bring it. :-/

Kent, is Friday night parking lot - bullshit - beer - PIZZA - dope - etc. night?

Saturday night is the banquet?

Has this all been explained here and I just didn't feel like reading 8 pages of this?

Correctomundo. And for those arriving Thursday, add Thursday nite to the shenanigan list.

I called & cancelled my room today . You guys have a blast. Wish I could be there

My ride to Temecula is confirmed. No need for you to drive to Ontario on Thursday. Sending pm.

You guys better get your rides clean and shiny. Socalandy is bringing his beautiful 6. Kevin, received your PM, I'll call you later today.

For those not staying at the motel in Idyllwild; Steve just pointed out that I hadn't posted the restaurant info so here it is.
Fratello's Ristorante/ 54295 Ridgeview Dr/ Idyllwild, CA 92549
Date: Saturday 4/22/17, 7:00PM.

I wonder if we could talk John, a Top Tier Bartender, into making Margarita's Friday nite.

Pretty good menu.

Cool. What does 13e mean? Just so I have an answer when asked.

It means that this is the thirteenth edition of the Route 66 Classic.

13th Edition / beginning 4/20. Hmmm

Hey Kent: Thanks for all of your hard work to bring this drive and reunion-meeting of Teeners to fruition..

I remain silent on participation until my 914 isn't. Isn't silent that is...

I've driven to Idlewild in my SUV several times and it aint that exciting in that ride ...... So hopefully I will have the 6 sorted out prior to the event / but have fun to all Teeners in any case.

13'E' = Injected

Your welcome and that's fine but I d need to know whether or not you will be attending the banquet by Friday afternoon.

AZ just released a Rt 66 personalized plate and look what's available.

Nice.

How much are these plates, Michael? ... and are they an extra charge every year?

Also, how much is normal AZ registration for your 914?

CA has been charging me $83./yr for a 914. The Ghia just went up for 2018 tags (from $83. to $97.) ... so expecting to get screwed on the other vehicles too

FYI, CA personalized retro black plates were $50. for the initial purchase with an additional 'fee' of $40./yr

Hey Mark - in AZ the best way to go is with collector car registration which requires similar insurance. I use American Collectors insurance and it's $300 per year for the 914 & 944. Plates for the 914 were $115 for 5 years. It would have been $50 less except I have a specialty plate (historic car). So the Rt 66 plate would be $115 for 5 years and if you personalize it that adds probably another $50 (AZ has a nice website that makes it easy to get drivers license and car registration info/purchases www.servicearizona.com). Welcome to 'zona.

914rubber shipped a bunch of goodies for those attending the Banquet. Thx Mark

Fun times for all.

.....and I hear Larwrwnce will be selling all the 914 Rubber goodies he won back in 2015 at the WCR in the parking lot.


Just kidding.

Thanks for the info I have the DR license form already filled out and there is a DMV office in Payson. They do require some sort of safety inspection for out-of-state vehicles coming into the state for registration, IIRC.

I'll be starting off with the post-1975 vehicles as the bi-annual smog checks aren't required in Gila County. No issues, all of them pass smog in CA with flying colors anyway ... but added up, it costs an extra $200. for the CA smog checks on those - in addition to the rising CA annual registration 'fees'.

I'll look into the collectors insurance for the P-cars - even the insurance is less expensive in AZ

Can the Rt66 high jacking. Especially if you ain't going.

Wow. I completely forgot that Chris Foley aka Tangerine Racing, was donating some of his goodies. We all know Chris makes goooood stuff too, right? The package was waiting here when I got home. I didn't even need to solicit Chris. He called me and volunteered to sponsor. Thank you Chris and Mark and all the others who are sponsoring RT66 this year. We had only one sponsor fall out this year and that was due to the fact that none of us could or would take the time to send him some pics of last years run. Oh well, we faired pretty well regardless. One of the members is bringing a couple of donations as well Glen who has promised a few goodies ala Pelican Parts. This should be the year that everyone "wins" something. When your finished reading this post please read the sentence below in RED that is part of my signature. We need parts to keep our cars running and these guys are providing them. What's more, many of those NLA parts that are being reconstructed are better than the factory made. So let's spend our $$$ where they do the most good. Our member vendors. Thanks a bunch again to this years sponsors.

Too many irons in the fire at the present time ... next year, for sure

Very well said Kent.

Just opened the Goodies Box from 914rubber last nite. OMG . Very generous Mark. Thank you so very much. Made me want to cancel Rt66 and abscond with the goodies. Thanks again Mark. You da man . Kent

What time and where will you assemble to begin driving on Saturday morning of this event?

At the Motel listed in the first post. Departure is at 9:14 AM!

Hey Kent: This will be the first Rt66 I have missed since my acquisition of this 914 / This unfortunate condition may be averted if our pal Perry delivers on his production of my engine harness but time is thin to say the least. Without it the car is ready to fire up but has no fire...

My goal was to get it sorted out prior to the event but there is still the break in process what ever that is..... In any case, happy travels to all involved.



Sidebar: Maybe a dose of guilt will get the shrinkwrap heated up....

No problem, I didn't include you with the Banquet count after your previous couple of "iffy" posts.. Kent

Bumparooski.... l plan on thurs early evening...

I am getting excited about just getting out of town.

I haven't driven the car at all this year but.....given that it is a mere -4 with stock injection...it will probably just fire right up and run.


and run and run and run....woooo woooo.


No jack stands and six conversion for me!

Be in Vegas wed. meet up with John Peterson then caravan to temeluca thursday. Looking forward to this.

We are officially in the countdown mode.

Woohoo! Carli from Sierra Madre Collections just called and they are sending some goodies for our Rt66 Awards/Banquet Diner! Hope it's one of their cool T-shirts or Coffee Mugs. Thx again to Sierra Madre and all of our supporters. Just another excellent reason to support our Member Vendors!

Nice work putting this together Kent.

Going to miss this one and I so wanted to drive the prius

Well thanks, Kevin. My youngest daughter is a professional "Events Planner" in Austin and deals with Fortune 500 clients as well as international clients. I believe I just gained a new whole new respect for her profession.

Are any of you guys bringing GO Pro's? Sure would like to see some video's of this event.

Yep I will have my go pro at the event.

Great Jim, I hope there will be more than one. Andy usually runs one too. Just got off the phone with the restaurant. I put down a $10 per plate deposit so if your name is in blue on the first post and you don't attend, you owe me $10. One mo week!!!!!

I'm sorry to say I can't make the event this year. I had a real good time at last years route 66 run. Enjoyed the new friends I met, and the camaraderie...Hopefully next year I'll make the event . Have a good time all...
