***NEW INFORMATION AS OF 3/9/10***

CUSTOMS 2 CLASSICS CAR SHOW + Mountain Run! Prescott Valley, AZ to Jerome, AZ

This is the new ELEMENT added to this event. My friends at EMBRY RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY in Prescott, AZ are holding their 2nd annual car show the same day as our run. It is the CUSTOMS 2 CLASSICS 2010 car show, and they have been kind enough to invite all those that have planned on going on the run to attend the show as participants or spectators.

There will be plenty of food, family fun & entertainment, & a good # of cars to drool over. The folks at ERAU are expecting a turnout of 100+ participants for the show.

Our original plans for the MOUNTAIN RUN will essentially remain the same. The only thing that will change is the rally point & departure time!!!

Here's the run down for the MOUNTAIN RUN. I have this nice set of twisties right in my back yard here in Prescott Valley, Arizona. It is Arizona highway 89-A that takes you from the edge of Prescott Valley on into the history laden town of Jerome, Arizona. It's a huge tourist destination, with lots of sights to see, shops, & restaurants that are all well worth the visit.

Here is a link for more information on the town of Jerome:

I've driven this stretch of road several times since I've lived here in Arizona and it's tons of fun. The views through the mountains & valleys are spectacular, so bring a friend to sit in the passengers seat to take lots of pics or video...if their stomach can bear it! Those who tag along on this trip will definitely be hanging on to the "oh $#1*" handle!!! The road up to Jerome can be both relaxing & exhilirating depending on what type of driving mood you are in that day.

Here's a short Youtube video of a Ferrari & Porsche playing cat & mouse on 89-A on the way up to Jerome...

So this is how it will play out...
-Saturday from approx 10am-3pm will be spent at ERAU's car show.

-approx 3pm we will start packing up & prepping for the MOUNTAIN RUN.

-once we get to the top of the mountain, we can spend the afternoon hours taking in the sights, smells, & sounds of the old town of Jerome.

-then the rest of the afternoon can be spent either driving to our respective homes or you guys could stick around so we can show you the town of Prescott & the infamous WHISKEY ROW...but that's a whole other discussion!!!

Let me know what you guys think!!!

Be nice if I still lived in Flagstaff, although I did enjoy running Oak Creek Canyon everyday on my way to Sedona for Work.

Oak Creek Canyon is fun too...89-A up to Jerome from Prescott Valley is literaly in my back yard...I make a run up that road maybe once or twice a month & try to beat my time from the cattle gaurd till Jerome city limits. I hear some people make it up that road in 15 minutes or more, this run however will be a sensible cruise up the mountain. :D

Here we have the Dragon, that is where I was when my Picture was taken in my Signature. We are having a Big GTG in June in Gatlinburg Tennessee in June with runs up to the Dragon, Pretty awesome drive, even going slow

I have taken a Big truck over through Jerome with a 580L Case backhoe on the back quite a few times.

Man! I would love to have a road like that to play on that was close to home!

I go up 1 or 2 times a month when the weather is warmer. The Start of it from where I work is about the same living in Flagstaff and going to Oak Creek Canyon. Right now it has a few icy spots on it.

It is a road that Motorcyclist from around the world come to.

ya, that's a little icy...lol
