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.

We need suggestions on where to have the event?
Cities to invade? Roads to terrorize? Parking lots to party?

It would be awesome is someone is brave enough to step up to be the host / planner.

I would like to attend next year so please do it on a different weekend than Hershey, maybe one or two weeks later so the weather we would drive away from is not as challenging.

I sure wish I had a 914 ready to drive for the next event! Maybe 2019 idea.gif

How about this

Friday 10:00am meet and greet at Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix. Get a tour of the shop have a food truck show up for lunch then hit the Hwy to Payson Arz. for the night.
90 miles of fun driving, elv. 5000

Sat. Drive to Camp Verde or Clarksdale for lunch then into Sedona, Flagstaff, or Prescott for banquet.

I agree on the off Hershey weekend and not on the same weekend as Calif speed event which PMS attends.

Sunday is for peeps who want to hit other R.66 stuff.

Maybe Larmo and I will even have our cars done by then. white914.jpg

I'm guessing that not a square inch of Rt.66 hasn't been driven on previous events... What were some favorites and how long has it been since those have been driven? popcorn[1].gif
76-914
Bryce, UT?
914_teener
Upland-Rancho R66 museums..

R66 route backside to Angeles Crest or Big Bear

Backside Angeles Crest to Mullholland to the Beach.

This would be a lot of the old R66 and off major fwys. Could also be scheduled around the FOS weekend for those involved in PCA?


Prescott is nice as well.....and Sedona is beautiful.

Great event this last time.

I like this plan. would agree we should hit Route 66. How about on to Flagstaff then Route 66 over to Winslow. Stand on a corner, then route 87 down the beeline back to Phoenix?

I like the La Posada hotel in Winslow. Not much else in town but a great relaxing hotel. And warmer than Flagstaff. biggrin.gif

Sounds interesting; would like to drive up Oak Canyon to Flagstaff for Sat banquet; then drive I40 back to CA, also puts CO peeps closer to home

Here is a potential round trip staring at Patrick Motor sports, north to Winslow and Route 66, over to Flagstaff. People can then split up if they like and head back to California or CO from Flag, or keep going South through Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, and Prescott back to Phoenix.

I'm a bit biased but I'll vote for the AZ routes biggrin.gif

However, it's already in the 90s out here so maybe up North AZ would be a bit better.
Chris914n6
U gave me an idea biggrin.gif

Hit up PMS either afternoon (lunch?) Friday or Sat morning. They would probable come in Sat to meet 20 914s and 30 people for a tour. Might actually appreciate us not interrupting normal work time.
Flagstaff or Winslow as a starting point Fri morning depending on trailer parking. Sat night awards at the other. Fri night in Phoenix.

That looks good smile.gif
JustinMeier
In/Out of Sedona is a parking lot from what I hear so make sure you're not overheating smile.gif
Coondog
My two cents, but 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.

My only input on this is go up to Wickenburg then Prescott. Yarnell hill and the roads beyond are pretty good.
flmont
Iam down for any run thru AZ,..
SKL1
Starting at PMS and up to Payson sounds great- then up to old 66 and back towards PHX on 89A from Flagg to Sedona- an INCREDIBLE road!! Could come back thru Yarnell and Wickenberg and stay off 17.

Above map sounds pretty damned good!! Not sure the 914 will make the whole trip but I'll come along in a mid engine car non the less...
snakemain
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.
VegasRacer
Thanks for all of the excellent suggestions. biggrin.gif Please, keep 'em coming.

Maybe you can convince Ed & Jenn to make the trip west as well.

. . . 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.

All true.


VegasRacer
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.)
VegasRacer
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. 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.

The 191 the 40 to the 10 is an amazing road and their is a creepy hunting lodge to stay at half way down.Click to view attachment
michael7810
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.
Toast
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. driving-girl.gif driving.gif

Here is a link to the drive up Rt 191. Rated #1 drive in AZ by Motorcycle Roads Coronado Trail

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 biggrin.gif

I hated missing this year so looking forward to next!

Whomever volunteers to plan, their vote has the most weight in selecting the route.

Anybody have a problem with that? devil.gif I didn't think so.

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).

I'd agree, Carefree Highway would be the best and staying out of Sedona at this time of the year would be the best laugh.gif

OK - here's a plan that includes Rt 191

#5
PMS tour Friday AM
Friday Drive PHX > Safford (165 miles)
Overnight in Safford
Saturday Drive Safford > Show Low via Rt 191 (210 miles)
Awards dinner Saturday night in Show Low
Sunday - go home through Phoenix via Rt 60 through the Salt River Canyon (another top 10 AZ motorcycle road -- 175 miles to Phx) OR via Rt 40 (50 miles north of Show Low)
So round trip starting and finishing in Phx is 550 miles and as far as I can tell we don't touch Rt 66. I'm game is the group is...Talk amongst yourselves
