September 23rd is Street Machine Nationals in Springfield MO. Don't see on their page if our years of cars are allowed though. Pre registration is $35 and $55 day of show. This would be a cool stopping point because we can park together and be safe. I have not been to this event since the 90's and would love to go again. Any volunteers to rub me down with sunscreen? Lol. Just throwing out some ideas since this thread is not going very far.
Yes, I went up there in 2015 and there were several G-Bodies, and stuff up to current year models... Hadn't considered tying it into that, but that's a cool idea.
Greetings Guys; I'd be a maybe for this as that's a long haul for a non OD car. But we should find out if our cars are too NEW?? I'm pretty sure we aren't welcome at Back To The 50's, their cut off is 1964 last I heard? What about the Route 66 meet? Are they not meeting in Springfield IL? And they have no cut off year, all cars are welcome. Ole' Bob.
I'd be in but will need the details and dates to commit. I think late summer early fall would be a better choice due to the uncertainty of weather in the spring.
Also would non G-body cars be allowed to caravan with us?
Looks like Fall is going to be a good bet. Spring is just too unpredictable here, and summer is a hot nasty mess. I don't see why you couldn't have a support crew tag along
😉
I am in Tulsa. I am in. Have several friends with G-body cars (most are grudge or street strip style cars). What if we put together a couple of regional or smaller meets to get the ball rolling? Anybody could go, from anywhere. Just a thought. Tulsa is fairly central.
I am a car guy, so, I am not gonna snob out anybody or car.
I would love to do this, but back to the $64K question, no experience in setting these things up. Is it as simple as approaching someone and asking if we can use a corner of their parking lot for a few hours? really, no idea, but I so want to do this, and do it the right way. Anyone have any connections with the TRP folks or someplace that might work?
Shoot, in the spring we should just start meeting once every or couple of week/s for donuts or burgers or something.
I just pulled OKC-Springfield out of the blue, since that puts me right smack in the center, and it could be done in a day, maybe a long day, but a day. There wouldn't be any requirement to do the whole thing or anything, that'd be silly. I think its way too ambitious to try and do a full on Route 66 thing from Chicago to Arizona or whatever. I know its leaving a lot of people out but we have to start somewhere.
I'm thinking we pick a start and an end point, start time, and a few "checkpoints" along the way (like the blue whale, pops, or ?) and we stop to pick up additions and say goodbye to those separating... I'd like to do a T-shirt/plaque type of thing just to get people to commit with $$ so they have skin in the game. Pre-register and you have to show up to get your swag, etc.
I don't remember if they were grouping cars by club or anything there, it seemed awful random, but if we show up more or less at the same time I guess they don't have a choice
