Hi Minis..lets talk drives!

Postby challenge64 » Thu May 21, 2009 6:36 pm

Hey!

I met a few of you at the Pavillions last Saturday. I was there taking pictures of another club and stumbled across your meet. Thanks Mike ..err..Dragonflyer..for the help in creating a Mini drive.

Yes a Mini drive. Well that is if the rest of you agree.

I am writing a guidebook to Arizona and cars. Part of the book is a section of 10 car club drives. 10 different car clubs, 10 different drives. So far I've got 9.

Want to be included? I would need pictures and a route. Of course I would list names of whoever took photos, planned the drive..ect

I probably shouldnt talk about your "12 miles of Terror" though

Thanks for posting! Mike had mentioned to me that you'd be contacting us about some "drives". We absolutely have some drives to contribute.

Anything from your afternoon drive, to the day drive, to the overnight, such as our Twist & Shout on the 666/191, probably our best overall view of Arizona terrain.

Second to the T&S I'd probably have to say is the route through Salt River Canyon, one of our annually best attended drives, next to that probably the run up to Jerome.

No, just halfway in between Phoenix and Tucson to Picacho Peak, not really a run since its pretty much just boring I-10, but a nice club event for the members to get together.
