AZ Road Rally !! 17 th annual Copperstate 1000!!!

[Xplantdad]

This morning, I went to Tempe Diablo Stadium for the Copperstate 1000 rally...1000 miles round trip through most of AZ and a bit of Utah.

I met up with Colin, Denis, Dreemz and sixtiesmuscle Mike and his wife...

I think that Kwhizz Ken and Charley Lillard should enter this next year http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

Anyways, starting off with Colin's 1964 Cobra 289

LOL...I signed up for it last year. I paid my entry in full and included a good sized donation to their charity in the check. They cashed the check then told me they were full and would refund my deposit. I called and said I had paid the full amount, not a deposit and if I can't participate, please send my money back. They sent me back only the entry fee and kept the donation. Normally I would let it go but by now I felt I was being taken advantage of and told them to please refund the full amount of the check I had sent. Looks like a fun event though.

[Bill Pritchard]

I've been to that send-off (start of the rally) a half dozen times over the years. Always a wide array of pretty cool cars - as evidenced by Bruce's excellent pictures http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif And yes, there is always a mighty fine assortment of 'headlights' in attendance http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif ....as well as taillights, and side marker lights, and, uh.....well you get the picture http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Looks like a much nicer venue for the send-off than they've had in previous years.

Fred,

Here's part of the dialog between Colin and me...

ME: Wow, that red Ferrari looks like it's really expensive

Colin: Yep...I bid on one a few years ago...

Me: What kind of Ferrari is it? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW, thanks to Colin for suggesting that I buy a book that lists all of the cars http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Hi Bruce,

Always cool to see people actually willing to take expensive and often really rare cars out for a 1000 mile road trip.
