Route 66 tour!

[sportscars]

As so many people keep asking me to do this - I finally agreed and I am in the planning process for the tour now. Working out all the thousands of details is pretty time consuming, but I will keep you updated on the progress. I would imagine I will have a mostly completed event by early next week..

We will start from Santa Monica around July 31st and end in Chicago around August 7th. The trip will be all-inclusive (all hotels and meals) and have a good mix of nice dinners and Route 66 type eateries.

Route 66 is about 2300 miles - one way! This is not a trip for the faint of heart (or those afraid to drive their Mustangs!).

I will keep you all updated on the progress. As always, thanks for your support!

Last August I did a South Florida to California back to South Florida trip in a 2012 Focus.

took two separate routes. Was one of the most awesome experiences of my life, seeing everything the bottom of America has to offer.

Be sure to hit Pops in OKC. The place is cool as hell.

Pops has a good chicken fried steak too at their cafe, so don't discount it.

Also be sure to stop in Tulsa for lunch. Plenty of great old school hamburger places with onions-fried-in in Tulsa along 11th st, 4th and Sheridan, and Admiral there.

Sounds like an awesome trip / idea OP!

What an awesome idea. I hope a good number of folks can take advantage of this. My wife and I did this (Santa Monica to Tulsa) many years ago. We had a blast. So much to see along the way. I hope someone takes a lot of pics along the way and post them up for us to enjoy.
