Then a short stop @ Bush & Beeline to meet the non working east siders.
We may be a bit early for lunch again but that's okay.

Any other Garage Queens able to make it???
Bob B??? (you still own a cobra, right???)
Vettestr??? (now that your car is FINALLY RUNNING)
CarNut??? (you can bring your cute little motor car or your new 29 mpg Mustang)

Okay, I'm in since I have permission to bring a cat swinging Mustang. See you guys at the Shell.

I'll be bringing the new one. I need to do some maintenance on the old one.

Looks like we're going to have a good turn out.
I called the restaurant/bar and made sure they will be open at 11:00am and can handle 10-12 guests. (she said no problem)
The lunch special is a 2 piece fish basket with french fry's for $5.00

Thanks for organizing the run Rat Boy. See you at Bush and Bee Line on ramp with Karl about 9:45.

DWRAT · #49 (**permalink**) 04-01-2016, 02:36 PM

We had a great trip, started with 9 Cobras and 1 cat swinger but lost a cobra on the way.
On the way home I hit snow flurries at the 260 & 87, lasted about 5 miles.
Thanks for going everyone.

Thanks for setting it up, Ratti-tat-tat. Got a bit nipply and caught a few sprinkles, but was still SO much better than waxing-off in the garage.
Nice turnout and glad to hear that CarNut managed to stay warm enough in his swinging-cat-Mustang (which, by the way, is a reeeeely nice car).
I racked up 200.5 miles and 109MPH max on the GPS. Those down hills with a tail wind are sneaky.

Fun Run and a good turn out. A little cooler than I thought it would be but still I'll take this weather over the 100+ we will have before to long.

I'm guessing everyone went back through Payson. I went through Camp Verde, I-17 was open to Phoenix. Light snow for a few miles on the Crook trail. 26 MPG for the trip. Enjoyed everyone's company.

Wish I could have gone... work sucks

I went the same way as you but got a late start waiting on Jim who ended up going the other way. I then got hosed up for miles on the 260, same area I got my last ticket so I was gun shy.
Once I hit the I-17 I tried to catch you but you were long gone.

RedSnake351 · #55 (**permalink**) 04-01-2016, 08:36 PM

Good job, Mr. Rat! As we were getting closer to Payson, I had to slap myself every so often, thought I was back in Illinois, weather-wise.

On the way back, Scotty took the lead for the first 20 miles, but the closer we got to civilization, he made me the rabbit, .

Frozen Ralphie.

Cobrakeith · #56 (**permalink**) 04-02-2016, 09:18 AM

As Ralphie says, a little cool on the way back through Payson but once we got to a lower elevation it was very nice. At least we didn't see snow like you did Car Nut. Oh, and Ralphie, you make a nice Rabbit LOL.

Snow? What is Snow? Glad you guys had a great time. You did tell Car Nut he had to leave the windows down and the heater off.

A great run. A few drops of rain and bugs that didn't survive. Gregg and Vicki back in the saddle. What happened to Mesa Mike and the engine? Thanks for putting it together.

Scotchman · #60 (**permalink**) 04-03-2016, 08:40 AM

That was a cool run. When we first got to the Chalet , I went inside and grabbed a corner table, trying to return a message on my I phone. I spoke loudly across the bar to the waitress asking " Can't we get cell service here ? ". She yelled back, " I just opened the bar, and I'm the only one here !". I had been there 5 minutes, and already managed to piss her off. It usually takes 10. I went up to the bar and apologized and explained I was referring to my phone.
