End of Summer run to the Cool Country.

[Off Road SHO]

Anyone up for an "End of Summer" (yeah, riiiiigggghhhht) run up to Flagg on the 28th or 29th. I've got to get out of this heat.

Heat? Its only 80 up here ya know.....last night it was 52......ahhhh.

A nice ride up here would do ya'll some good. Clean air, cool temps, and some excellent food. Not to mention 25% less horsepower than normal.

 

[Jim Ellis]

Count me in.

 

[POSHO]

I'd say that I'd like to go, but I just totalled the SHO on my way back from the 'cool country' of Payson.
Is dooleyville interested in another Chandler SHO?
Anyone have a SHO for sale? I don't want out of the game....

 

[Off Road SHO]

I know that AZ SHO OFF is selling his blue 95 mtx once he puts the new clutch in, but he's already got 3 people waiting in line to buy it. How bad did you total it? Is it like sub-totaled or grand totaled? Hope you didn't get hurt.

The car really would be considered totalled in anyone else's mind, but my buddy's dad is convinced he can get it back on the road. The weird part is I wasn't even touched, and the car shows so much damage. The cops couldn't even believe it. I'm now looking for a donor car, as I need a straight rear end to weld in. Strangely enough, that blue 92 I gave to dusty would be perfect. You guys wouldn't happen to have that still laying around dooleyville would you?

If you do decide to part it out, or sell the carcass for parts, let me know. That's a GenII MTX, correct?

As a matter of fact we do. If you can come and get it soon, you can have it back for free.

So what is the plan for the 28th? What time do you guys want to come up? what specifically would you like to do or see? Cruise? Lunch dinner? what.

 

[Off Road SHO]

Mike,

I'm all for a late lunch at that Diner on Route 66. I'll try and get your wheels on Friday night from that guy and bring them with me. I'd like to leave Dooleyville at 7:00 AM and be in Wickenburg at 8 for breakfast.

At 8:47 we'll leave Wickenburg and head up Yarnell hill on Highway 89, going through Congress, Kirkland Junction and stopping for a break in Prescott.

From Prescott we'll continue up 89 for a few miles and take the 89A up over the mountain pass to Jerome. If everybody wants to, we can stop at the Kings Ranch Mine, home of the largest gasoline engine, a whopping 164 liter (10,000 cubic inches) He'll start it up for 5 bucks, but you better be standing at least 50 feet away, because with its' straight pipes, the exhaust pulse will rattles your bones. You can hear it across the valley; he says it keeps the real estate prices down. He also has a lot of neat old stuff. I fit right in.

From Jerome we will head down the mountain into Cottonwood/Clarkdale and then on towards Sedona. From Sedona we will take the switchbacks up Oak Creek Canyon and into Flaggstaff.

I think we will arrive at about 1:19 or 1:20 at the Diner if my calculations are correct.

That's my story and I'm stickkkkkkken to it. I will bring some tools and water and oil (we're driving SHOs after all ). Exact route may vary due to construction along the way. I have PRS radios for comunnications if anybody needs one.

[F-22 Raptor SHO]

wow, sounds like a plan....if you want, we can head up to the snobowl after lunch which is at the bottom of the sanfrancisco peaks, or we can go up thru the painted desert.....or we can just hang out in my garage. Dont care.

 

[yamahaSHO]

So when are we meeting up? I know it might be out of the question, but I'd like to meet up with you guys. Albequerque is a halfway point from Phoenix.... Just a suggestion....

 

[Off Road SHO]

Jason,

I'm afraid that's too far for a one day ride with our group. To me it isn't because I'm a driving fool. But for most it'll be out too far.

Tom

 

[F-22 Raptor SHO]

I will plan on seeing whomever comes at the Galaxy Diner between 1 and 1:30. I have a meeting at 9 am Sat morning that will run till 11 or 12. I will call you Mr. Dooley before i head over to the diner to check on your whereabouts.

 

[Off Road SHO]

Sounds, like a winner Mike. Anyone else besides Jim E. going on this run?

Tom

 

[shoguy311]

negative. going to south dakota tomorrow for a week. i got a new work schedule so i should be available more often this fall and winter.

 

[Off Road SHO]

Mikey, ol buddy ol pal,

You're going to hate me for this, but we're going to have to cancel our trip up there this weekend. We've had some health issues in our immediate family that started last Friday that have put us way behind. I'll PM you later with the details.

Jim E. was the only one going with us so I will only be disappointing you two guys this time. Sorry guys. I'll make it up to you later.

Tom

 

[Jim Ellis]

That' okay Tom, hope all turns out alright.

 

[F-22 Raptor SHO]

Not a problem Tom. I will keep you guys in prayer and hope all turns out well.

You should be getting a call from "rim dude" tomorrow sometime, least that's what I was told.
