It would be nice to have the Prescott Drive earlier in the year/end of this year like usual to enjoy the snow. Also, there's no reason we can't do it twice

[adrs2k]

I thought April was when we typically do the Prescott drive....

Yea we def could do it twice, but I don't want to overdo that drive. Once you drive HWY 666, you will not care about yarnell hill or hwy 88

It used to be late in the year (November/December) when it first started.

I would like to do Oak Creek Canyon (I think that's what it's called) from Sedona to Flagstaff someday as well as Devil's Highway.

Shit looks legit Adam!

Jan 7-8 2012 - Casino New Years Meet

April - Prescott/Jerome/Sedona Day Trip
May/June - Wake The Devil 2012
July/August - TBD
October - Fall Devil Run
November - BBQ and Tech Day, location TBD

It is not too early to start planning for next year. I've been hoping to see something like this with this group and maybe a few more trips in, too. I've already plans for many dates next year, so I'm eager to see some firm dates get scheduled as soon as possible.

Where would the January Casino Night be held and is it a run/drive? I'm already booked that Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

July or August would be a good time to get to hopefully cooler climates like Payson. Could the Fall Devil Run also be considered for September? Maybe we could fit in a trip south of Tucson to catch folks down there, too.

[adrs2k]

I agree.

Location is TBD, but I think last years location will work again so that Tuscon owners can come. Its right off the I10 in Chandler. I am thinking just a Saturday into Saturday evening event. No drive, unless you join a caravan to the meet. This is just a meet at a Casino, hangout, get some food, maybe gamble. We will need to start planning this soon, so if the dates I just picked don't work for the majority, then we will change them.

We can have lots more events, but I am hesitant to post too many ideas because I know we wont get enough volunteers to organize. I have probably extended myself too far in trying to organize 2 Devil Drives and a Prescott drive next year. I figure that since I have already organized both, I know and have everything I need to do it again so it should be easier.

We are already on the books for the first weekend of October for the Fall Devil Run. I had our group penciled in the Lodges reservation book when I checked out.

May/June - Wake The Devil 2012

[Manga_Spawn]

Sounds good! Let me know if I can help with anything!

[AZS2KDancer]

I already know that most weekends in May 2012 are booked already for me, and in June, the weekend of June 10 and June 25-30 are also committed. I am dying to make this run. It will be my first. Is it too hot to run in the middle of summer? I would be glad to help out, if needed, too.

[jefferyg32]

Adam let me know, im always willing to help if i can. The casino event last year was a great idea and we should for sure do it again. Huge turnout it was fun. We need to check with them as their schedule of events may have something going on.

[adrs2k]

I added some names to the list to show who can be in charge of some events. Jeff I know you and Jerry said you could make some of the arrangements. I think if we do it just like last year, we will be in good shape. Maybe start it in the afternoon so it can be an afternoon/evening thing.

[CBR2200]

Awesome looking itinerary so far!

Any idea when F1 tickets go on sale? I would imagine they will sell quickly. Signed up for "priority" list, whatever that means:

I better be able to make at least one Devil run this year!

[cu@9k]

I will make it to one of these!

[AZS2KDancer]

I hadn't seen a list like this for our beloved Honda S2000, so I sought out other clubs who welcomed me and anyone else, too, who showed a bit more thought into a year's planning. That's how the idea for an Arizona Roadster Club started to form. The Arizona Rides out of Tucson looks promising and welcoming of all types, just no hot rodding in group drives, etc. The Honda del Sol group was very inviting and S friendly, as was the Miata club, but I'm really looking forward to more S2K drives. I would rather put my money into gas, oil, and tires than a casino, but I wouldn't mind too much if there was something else to do besides gamble. I want to drive! Please keep the ideas coming. We can all pipe in on thoughts and calendar timing, hosting and organizing as we go.

[Back-cracker]

Save June 29- July 1st

And

Aug 17-19 th.

[adrs2k]

^ Thanks BC, I updated my original post.

Everyone else, I am not seeing a lot of inputs

There used to be more official planning back in the day. Those members have since moved on so I am working, with hopefully the help of others to restore some of that to our Arizona Chapter. We have a structure that we have been following for the past 2 years, but it was never laid out officially. We all knew that in the spring we did Prescott, and every couple months on Wednesdays we did a HWY 88 run. It is my intention to make things more organized and structured though. We have a lot of new members that aren't as clued in as the older members. I started this structuring with the Monday Night Meet Calenders.

There will be plenty of drives, but you have to realize the amount of work that goes into organizing. It takes a lot of "free time" to post on the forums, plan the trip, lay it all out, and be the point of contact for the event. Not to mention when the event is under way having an entire group looking to you for all the answers/plans. This is part of why we have weekly meets to keep the group together because its just not easy to have big events all year long. The AZ community does a lot of things together, they just aren't all laid out and "official".

The reasoning behind the casino meet is its a great opportunity for people to get together and hangout. We get to include people from Prescott down to Yuma. After being a member for a few years out here, and going to HCII and other larger events, one thing that we have all taken away is how much we enjoy hanging out. A lot of us have things in common that extend beyond driving the same car. Meets like the New Years meet are opportunities for us to just hangout and be friends. Its not always about driving, its more than that now.

You mentioned no hot rodding. You might not enjoy most of our group drives then lol, there is always room at the back of the line though. We have some members that are known for their fast pace through the mountains.

[Gardimontana_S2K]

Looking good with the schedule... I'll try to come up to most, if not all of these..... As for the no hot rodding Dancer, the Patagonia drive wasn't AZR's....AZR was invited by the AZ European Car Club. AZR drives are usually for the 'spirited' as well as the cruisers.

I will help you out with whatever you need to plan these. You can call me anytime.

[RedChili]

Not all of us have moved on.

The Old Timer Drives:
Lake Havasu (Lunch)
Pima County Air & Space Museum (Lunch and tour)
Biosphere (lunch and tour)
Roosevelt Dam (Lunch)
Devil’s Highway (weekend)
Southwest’s S2000 in the Sun (usually Prescott and back, BBQ and giveaways)
Several Calif. Mega meets (Irvine etc. weekend)
Kitt Peak (Tour the observatory and lunch)
Mormon Lake (Lake Mary Rd. great food)
Mt. Mingus
Pinetop-Lakeside (Lunch in Pinetop)
Titan Missile Base (Tour and lunch)
Tombstone (Lunch)
Tonto Natural Bridge (Lunch in Strawberry)
Woods Canyon Lake (Lunch in Christopher Creek)
Tech Meets in Flagstaff (similar to what we do at Cody’s but with a little tech thrown in)
Montezuma’s Castle (tour and lunch)

This is about all I can remember. We usually had two groups fast and slow. Maps were given out and two way radios were used. I am willing to help in any way or plan any trip.

Roger

[adrs2k]

^ That is some awesome info Roger. Thank you! I would love it if you could pick one or two of your favorites out of that list and help organize them!

I believe AZS2KDANCER is looking for more events like what you just mentioned.

[RedChili]

Will do.

[Boofster]

Add SEMA for next year as well as some of us are regulars.
I think it's always the first week of November.

[1FastS2k]

Good job Adam . It looks like Roger might have some really good info too. I was thinking that maybe, if people were interested, we turn the casino meet into an overnighter. If we do it at the Harrah's Ak-Chin I might be able to get us a decent rate.

Like Boof said, can't forget about SEMA.
