HELLOOOO MADMEN/SIERRA VISTA MINIS/RATPACK!!!!
The Tubac Collector Car Show (Sat. January 24th) is just around the corner and your co-chairs are planning a full day of activities.
First, we meet up at 9:00 am next to the Home Depot on the SW corner of Irvington Rd and I-19 (Tucson). There is a Starbucks, Mickey D's and a Food City close by where you can get last minute provisions. Gas is available at the nearby Chevron.
The parking area just to the left of the Chevron is where we meet.
We leave for Tubac around 9:16am - 9:18am and travel south on I-19 to Exit 40. We exit and turn left to get to the frontage road. Make a right turn on the frontage road. We go south about 2 miles and turn left into the
Tubac Golf Resort. There will be plenty of signs to guide the directionally bewildered. (Yes, Marsha, we are taking a different exit this year.)
There is a small admission fee so bring some cash. It is usually cool in the morning so dress accordingly.
Our arrival time will put us at the show just after it opens so you should have plenty of time (1hr 45min) to see all 500+ antique, collector and modified cars/motorcylces and take a picture next to your dream car.
LUNCH
Tubac is a quaint town with many places to eat and unique little shops and art galleries to explore. You have the choice of eating with the group or striking off on your own. Just south of the old town on the frontage road is a new center with several great restaurants. All the places in old town have limited seating for groups and parking can be interesting, to say the least.
SOOOOOOOOOO............If you are interested in joining the MADMEN for lunch, please reply to this post with something like: "Party of 2 for lunch." Then, by the size of the group, we can pick a joint. No obligation. just want to get a feel for the numbers.
Run to the Wine Country
After lunch, we will cruise down to Nogales AZ, east on Hwy 82 to Patagonia, Sonoita and on to Elgin for a wine tasting at the
Sonoita Vineyards. For those that want to skip the vineyard, you can turn north on Hwy 83 at the Sonoita crossroads.
After sipping responsibly, we return up Hwy 83 to I-10 and complete our day. Total mileage about 150 miles. Let us know if you are going to join us for this memorable event!
