It's easy to say -- "someone should" -- but these things take massive amounts of work -- and the minute you start to "run it" - you have lability 'risk' if something happens to someone along the way... and on and on and on...

Even our little car club - Northwest Classic Chevy Club - keeps a D&O policy. We run a "tri five only" show (Just happens to be the largest one in the WORLD with 300 '55/ '56 / '57 CHEVYS only) ... and if someone gets hurt... we're going to be on the hook.

In order to make it 'worthwhile' to the vendors you'd want to stop to see - it needs the backing of a publication. They (the vendors) need the milage out of the advertising... So as much as I 'agree' with you. It's just too much to ask someone to do.

Yep! But that won't stop a bunch of us friends from cruzing together!! And if we do/schedule things right Nick and Steve will be there with us!!

I have always thought that the Nevada, Arizona and So Cal guys could meet up with us NW guys in Nor Cal. I'm sure the Pozzi's know of a GG's Show and auto-x we could all attend...and if we are real lucky Dave will even show us a road course!

just a thought........

OKAY -- IM IN! There's nothing better than a good old fashioned "ROAD TRIP" (my favorite saying around my house)... and I'm all good for that NOR CAL area. So -- here's the problem with that. Let's just use a PLEASANTON GG show for an example.... (and I'm really thinking that the NEW Scottsdale GG show in MARCH would be the venue for #1 annual??) The problem is "many" of us would have a drive to get to "wherever"... but what would the LOOP be ? Since we all have different starting points.

So I think we could all meet up at Charleys... (no cal) --- make a stop in So San Francisco and visit BRIZIOS and right next door is Sanderson headers... then head south on the 101 from there - first stop - (Pick - Santa Cruz or Carmel area) I'm thinking 17 mile drive etc... then head south from there the next day... VIA PASO ROBLES? To Bakersfield (Rogers Ironworks Shop and anything else on the way?? Down 99??) STAY OVER NIGHT HERE -- NEXT DAY -- Okay let the fun begin... A HOT LAP OVER TO LAKE HAVASU CITY... WIDE OPEN COUNTRY back road boogie!! For an overnight there. From there - we need a couple shops in Phoenix area -- so I'm thinking FESLERS (Chris?) and somewhere else - or maybe setting something up at Bondurants -- like 6 speed shifter carts for a few laps?? Then off to our hotels and get ready for the GG show...

SO you guys -- we need ideas for shops/auto parts mfgs/food stops of INTEREST/Sights... to wow!

What say you??

You bet -- but I'd try talking Charley into letting you babysit "the Mule" since he's moved on to his new favorite toy (JA)... or I'll let you take the "BadMad" and I'll take the 37 Ford!

EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!

greg what ever happened to a bunch of friends just getting together and just do a road trip with a few stops on the way. who needs the mags and the venders? you know power tour is fun but can be complicated.i would love to come out west just to ride my bike or the car down the pacific coast hwy even better with a few or a few dozen friends.

Now this is a splendid idea.

Come down to GG show in Pleasanton next month.

Seriously this would be a lot of fun if a bunch of us could get together somewhere on the Left Coast.

I stopped doing that Pleasanton show due to "cold and wet" weather... which is not exactly "inviting" to me from the Pacific NorthWET at this time of year.

GoodGuys does a planned cruise for their shows during the summer - and I've considered doing this - but it's so dang nice up here in the summer - I can't see cruising from the South up to the North (I actually don't do many shows during the summer for this very reason)... They leave Pleasanton show and drive north to come up here for Puyallup. If we could organize it with a few Lat G friends - I'd come down for that show and then do that drive - sorta like a test run... and to be able to plan something "mo bigga"....
