Help Needed:

SWAG for Saturday Banquet raffle. You can ship stuff to my house or just bring it with you.

AWARDS - If someone wants to step up and make/supply awards for Saturday night…great. Otherwise we’ll talk smack about each other’s car and raffle swag

Trailer Parking - those trailering cars from the north may want to leave them in Flagstaff/Williams on the way to Phoenix (Flagstaff to Phoenix is 150 miles of freeway). If this is needed it would be nice to have secure parking available. Anyone in the Flagstaff area have any space/ideas? (maybe the Williams Days Inn has space??).
For those trailering cars from the east/west/south and want to leave them in Phoenix, I can probably accommodate 4 trailers between my house and my daughters’. We live in Scottsdale close to MoveQik, PMS, and the LaQuinta hotel.

T-shirts: PMS is designing a shirt for this event. The plan is to give free shirts to tour attendees and have extra shirts available for sale. More on this as the details are worked out.

Facebook: has an event. I don’t know jack about how to use FB so if you can’t find the event maybe MoveQik can help. Best I can tell the event name is Route 66 Classic - 2018

I’ll update the post as more details come available. Please post questions/suggestions/offers to help here or PM me.

Reservations made, see you in April.

I just found out that Luftgekühlt 5 is April 22, 2018

There is always something else happening when Rt66 happens. Just nothing as fun as Rt66.

Awesome!!!

Iam there if my car is off the stands by then,..Sure hope so !!

To clarify.....the hotel that is close to PMS is NOT close to my house. The LaQuinta Phoenix-Scottsdale is right down the street from me. I am currently working with my daughter and her friends to run shuttle service that night for those of you that want to enjoy cocktails and get a ride to a near by hotel :-).

The LaQuinta has offered us a great rate of $84.60 for Thursday, April 19th for the BBQ. If we need more than 15 rooms, they will give them to us. Here are the details:

Thank you for choosing La Quinta! We look forward to hosting your group at our Phoenix - Scottsdale location.

The map from the hotel to my house:

I thought we were all staying at your house? OK, wait. Is Holley driving now?? OMG

Thanks Mike. The La Quinta Inn in Tempe is 20 miles from MoveQik's house.

I am trying to get onto the Facebook page, but it says I am not allowed to view it. Can I please get added to the group.

GREAT NEWS!!!

I didn't think I could but I am clearing my April schedule and hope to reserve rooms later this week.

Plan is to trailer my 914 to Phoenix. I may need some ideas where I can safely leave my truck and trailer behind during the event.

Perhaps a So Cal group of teeners could head out with me to Phoenix.

Looks like fun....

Booked, booked and booked. Took advantage of the La Quinta by Michaels. No sense in starting out the trip on a DUI.

Booked Scottsdale for now

I just got off the phone with the hotel by me and they gave us a group rate of $84.60. See my post above for added details

Reservations made - looking forward to this event

Bump for changes to hotel in Post #1 to match the details in MoveQik's post above (confused yet?; obviously I am).

I'm staying in the same hotel - I'll volunteer to be the DD as I'm only a connoisseur of fine non alcoholic beers....

I'm staying in Tempe Thur night, the price was right, so if I miss the bbq, I'll see you at PMS.

April 21 & 22 will be the start of National Parks Week. Free to get into Grand Canyon, saves $30 per car.

We will be right there at the doorway in Williams if you don't have any plans for Sunday after breakfast

It's only a 3 hour drive home for me so I have plenty of time to goof off some more.

Shit sticks. La Quinta charged me $94. I'll have to make them work for it.

Interesting timing for me ...... In Scottsdale until the end of March. Looks like I will return to AZ in late April.

Looking forward to the event! Have some work to do, but will have a car ready to go. Reservations Made

Looking forward to it..

Reservations made. Here’s a starry night pic from Williams.

DONE...Booked all three....now I have to finish building my open hauler...60% done.

Later we can discuss possible caravan plans from So Cal.



Oscar

The thought of driving on a moonlit night in the Arizona desert is strong in this one.

......use the six Lawrence....use the six......

Half lit moon will have to be good enough... April 2018 Moon Phases

I am in Arz. right now.... just spent a hour and a half in traffic on the 10 going through Phoenix.
.
When did this place turn into L.A.......

Coondog, you just have to plan what time of day you're on the 10...

Thanks for taking this on Michael. Guys that organize these events should receive a "Herding the Cat's Award"! I know that Tony,aka Cracker, will be glad to make an award or two, just handle with care. The one he presented me gave me splinters.

I sure hope I can make it,..Gotta get my car on the ground by end of Jan. so I could work out all the bugs in time for this trip,..!!! Frank

Pics please Oscar.....I am looking for one.


My plan is to meet everyone in Presscot. Looking forward to it.

Flagstaff would be the nearest large airport yes? Pretty cheap non-stop airfares from Seattle.

No Kevin...

Phoenix would be cheaper.

Kevin are you planning on making it, if so great. Will have something nice for you.

Just a bump and reminder to book your rooms. Have you seen the weather in AZ lately? Hope to see you here with tops off!

Booked and ready.....

Bumpity bump! Get your rooms!

I thought we were all staying at your house.

Here is a list of attendees based on replies to this forum and Facebook. I matched the forum names with FB for those I know. Please reply to the forum if you're going (or if you're not going and on the list).

PMS is working on the t-shirts, below is the first cut of the artwork. If you are attending shirts are free so please let me know your size. Extra shirts will be available for sale, if you would like to purchase a t-shirt, price and logistics TBD, let me know what size(s) and I'll make sure they order enough extras to accommodate.

ROUTE 66
(word & lyrics by bobby troup)
This lyrics are like performed by natalie cole

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

It winds from chicago to la,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, missouri,
And oklahoma city is mighty pretty.
You see amarillo,
Gallup, new mexico,
Flagstaff, arizona.
Don't forget winona,
Kingman, barstow, san bernandino.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Solo

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Bob B

I'll be there...................... driving Underdog

Driving. (see what I did there?)

Quick thought.... the shirt is kinda backwards. Should be the EVENT logo top and prominent, with sponsors below.
Looks cool though

List updated...latest updates in Red

Completely agree...that was my comment. I also wanted only Rt 66 stuff on the front pocket area and the big artwork on the back.

On the 20th won't be staying at the pond. pines, not pet friendly, will find an alt. place that is pet friendly.
