For real. I definitely did not see that coming. Good on you Joe!!

Thank you and I'll for sure keep that in mind! I definitely plan on making the trek down to Tucson Dragway once the G3 swap is complete.

Please do! Just received a shipment of goodies from Dr Diff so I'm working on getting the 8-3/4" center section, new wheel bearings and cleaning up the rear drums while painting/refurbishing basically everything under the car from the rear end back. Stripping all of that down to the metal...

I may have spoke too soon. Looks like we might still be stuck with the A,B,C,D groupings like some of the other events despite not having classes for this event. Found this while reviewing the Sick 66 rules: It won't surprise me if this ends up being a thing since the event sold out. I know...

Thank you! Ha! I tend to agree for the same reasons. :D Also, thanks a ton for the recommendations in @abodyjoe's Route 66 thread. I booked 6 KOAs for Sick 66, all camping cabins! I scoped out the surroundings for each one on Google Maps and feel pretty good about the overall security...

AZ local checking in. Looks like we have a pretty lively group going here! EDIT: Right after I posted I noticed the last post in this thread was from 4.5 months ago lol, so maybe lively wasn't the best description. Oh well, still worth checking in with my AZ peeps. :)

Thanks Dan! Another one of my car-related bucket list tasks is making it up there for the Woodward Dream Cruise. Also my Dart rolled off the assembly line at the Windsor plant on November 22, 1969. I always thought it would be cool to visit the plant with my Dart and snap a picture.

Definitely don't blame you there. You can't leave anything, anywhere these days. I'm contemplating sleeping in the back seat of my Dart during this trip, to be honest.

I signed up about 30 seconds after early registration opened due to being paranoid that it would sell out super fast. I set an alarm and used Time.is - exact time, any time zone to track time right before registration opened. Despite having nearly 2,000 expression of interest forms submitted it...

Oof, being stop-lossed is rough. Sounds like you made it out of there alright though and you're right, the difficult experiences can be the most valuable. Thank you!

Yep, definitely a bit concerned about spending all day at the track and having to drive at night. It sold out too and from what I've heard there were 350 spots for racers, so each track is probably going to be pretty busy. My hope is that I can avoid having to run last every day since there are...

Same. I thought about driving out to CA and starting at the Santa Monica Pier, but we've already got nearly 1,400 miles of road to cover following Route 66 from Topock, AZ to Springfield, MO. Right now we're planning 4 days for the trip out, which is way over the 200 mile per day recommendation...

I just saw and commented in your thread. Thanks for posting that up btw. Already lots of good suggestions in there. Beautiful car too! We'll have to meet up for sure. I'm definitely down for that! Beautiful car! Lol, **** happens. Easy fix! I hear you there man and thank you for your...

Sweet! I'm also signed up for Sick 66 and will be taking my 1970 Dart. I'm coming from AZ and plan to initially travel northwest and get on Route 66 in Topock at the CA/AZ border and then drive it all the way to Springfield, MO. My father and my father-in-law are my co-pilots. We're going to try...
