Looks like lot's of cool stuff is planned. Should be fun.

Looking forward to it...will be my 2nd road trip with Smoke. Myspace pagewill be updated as we add more activities. Hope to see some of the .net members there. :smile:

Havent been on in a while. Looks like Its going to be "a b l a s t"
We will try and make it. I know we are going 2 B @ the G2G in Branson.
So what if I need a new Windshild and the rear bumper repainted.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Sounds like a cool 4 days. I will be coming from the FT.Hood / Killeen area. I just arrived in the state of Texas on the 5th of DEC.

I will have to put in my leave for the dates. Im in the Army and more likely will be traveling with a family of 5. Possibly just take 2 cars to make it easier on the kids and leg room.

Still time to join the fun. We have 24 HHR's registered to attend this event and a couple who are still in the decision mode. Not too late to attend this great event. We've got some fun activities planned...like two 100 mile runs on the famous Route 66 with stops along the way to visit some of the great places along the way. Here's a couple things we'll be check out on those runs.

A section one lane wide 9 ft, was paved in the early 20's, money was tight so they paved the entire distance, but at half the normal width!!!

Here is a pic of the road and a pic of a friends HHR in the middle for comparison of the width. This is the part in Narcissa, OK.

This place has 500 different flavors of pop/soda.

This is also going to be a great place to visit and definitely a cool photo op.

The infamous Red Barn in Arcadia.

Still lots of time to join us. If you need more details, just contact either myself or TomsHHR and we'll get you more details if you need.

FYI, I had sincerely planned on going, but I have had something come up where I will be out of state during the event. Which sort of sucks, considering I live a few miles from Route 66 and only 90 miles from Tulsa! Hopefully you guys will organize another one in the future and I'll be able to attend.

Only a few more days now. I'm leaving Denver on Thursday morning headed for Tulsa. If you're in the area, please feel free to drop by the LaQuinta South in Tulsa. Would love to meet anyone who will be in the area.

Taking tons of pics and videos and will share as time allows.

What time are you going to be at Pops? The wife & I would like to meet you guys there. Thanks ROADSTAR

We are offically now on our way to Kicks on Route 66 after having a GREAT weekend at the Cedar Point II event in Sandusky, OH.

We stayed last night in Hammond, IN and got up early this morning and headed downtown Chicago. Parked both the cars (at a cost of $19 each!!!) and found the "End of Route 66" sign on Jackson street! Also got some awesome pictures of the "Buckingham Palace" fountain just off Lake Shore Drive.

We have just stopped for the evening in Lincoln, IL

We tried to see the Route 66 museum in Joliet, IL, but it is only open until noon on Monday's and we didn't even try to leave downtown Chicago until 10:30! And we got to stop in Bolingbrook and have lunch with our 2 daughters and our 2 gandsons!

Then we wanted to stop at a couple of refurbished gas stations along the way......they both closed at 3 and we were there at 5 and 5:30. Story of my life I guess. Going to try to download the pictures we took today to share. And tomorrow, well, we'll see where the road takes us! We have until Thursday to get to Tulsa.

That's awesome...we're looking forward to meeting the 2 of you in Tulsa. I'll be heading out of Denver bright and early on Thursday morning...should be there late afternoon or early evening. Can hardly wait to meet everyone...gonna be a great time.

I will be arriving in Tulsa thursday, hope around noonish.

At Michigan & Jackson

Can someone give me around what time you guys will be at Pops.
Thanks.

PM me a phone number and I'll call and let you know as soon as I have a better idea. We'll be going to Arcadia on Saturday from Tulsa...so I would venture to guess mid-day or thereabouts. Depends on how many stops we make along the way to check things out. How far are you from Arcadia?

Nice pics Bob & Robin...looking forward to meeting the two of you in Tulsa.

DANG! Had I known about POps I would Have joined you. I had just picked up my HHR.

Sounds like alot of fun was had by all.

Pretty sharp Roadstar.

glad to have met you at the Round Barn.

THANKS. The same to you. Wish we had more time to hang out & talk. We had plans Sunday so we could not make it to Tulsa. Can someone post pictures of the car show & mods they did.
ROADSTAR

I've got a ton of pictures to upload and will post more in this section when they are done. Took almost 500 pics from start to end...so I've got alot to go thru. I did end up getting leveling springs put on Smoke and a new windshield banner. Will start a new thread here later today so those who belong to both forums can post up their pics. Jeremy (Roadstar) it was great getting to meet you and check out your awesome HHR. That was quite a sight wasn't it?

Here's a sign we saw along the highway, not once, not twice but several times. Sure made all of us laugh...and everyone said even the state of Oklahoma was looking out for Smoke...The NASCAR HHR. :lol:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/TomsHHR/Divesmoke2.jpg

We arranged for the DOT to put those up when we heard Smoke was coming through.

Awesome...thanks...I appreciate the gesture. It gave us many laughs during our stay in Tulsa.

For those who would like to see my pictures of the trip...from start to finish...you can see them in my photobucket album
