It helps to drop off tire trailers and stuff on Friday since the track is open. It will likely be dark still when you arrive on Saturday morning, so it's nice to get the lay of the land.Originally Posted by riverman1
Thanks for sharing the photo we had Tricky Rick! I am sure lots of us are missing him! He used to go up there every year until the last couple ones.We lead a drive on Route 66 leaving from Denton Fri AM.
It will be a nice enjoyable drive instead of beating up 44.
Fried Pies, POP's, and Rock Cafe!

I'll be towing on Thursday. Haven't made detailed plans yet.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Anyone has the tech sheet or the link?

I'm going this year. Registered and have the room booked. Between now and then just need brake pads and fluid flushed, new tires and wider wheels, sway bars and struts and better seats. Got two weeks, no pressure. And for moral support I'm bringing Robyn.

Awesome guys!!! I'm headed up on Thursday and only driving on Friday.
I ended up at smiley's for a 2015 helmet.
Hope to see you all there!
For anyone heading up on Thursday, Leilane and I plan to have lunch at Two Frogs in Ardmore, OK at noon. Feel free to meet us there if you want to caravan at all.
Since we will be trailering, we will be taking the I-35/I-44 route to the hotel rather than the more enjoyable back roads. You can either stick with us all the way or break off on to the back roads when we stop at the fried pie place near Turner Falls.
I'll look for you. I'll be hauling up with a white Expedition and the Red beast.
I'd like to drive up with the group, Rogue. Where in Denton, and what time?
Ill put together some details:

What is the mother road....
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Route 66 is called the "Mother Road". That name comes from John Steinbeck's book, The Grapes of Wrath. Route 66 stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago, IL to Los Angelos, CA. It was mostly replaced by the Interstate highway system and was officially decommissioned in 1985. There are only bits and pieces of it left.

News to me…..I have driven Chitown to Santa Monica, and the good parts many times.
I got an app for that…...

Sharpie just jipped me some Ugly Pie at the Midpoint of Route 66!
Yep. I've also driven almost all of it in different portions. If anything, its made a resurgence in popularity among the nostalgia crowd.
