There were 4 DeLoreans at the annual "Route 66 Fun Run" when it was held in
Arizona earlier this month. Coming from Santa Barbara, Ventura, Pasadena and
West Covina, California, we met in Kingman, Arizona Friday night. Saturday
morning, we drove over to Seligman for the start of the rallye. There were over
800 cars registered for the drive from Seligman to Kingman. At the conclusion of
the drive, there was a car show for the participants in the center of Kingman.
Sunday's drive was the stretch of Route 66 from Kingman to Oatman Arizona
(almost to the California border). Together, these two drives are the longest
uninterrupted segment of Route 66 left. The road travels through the desert on
the original 2 lane highway with all its curves, bumps and switchbacks (real
narrow, while climbing the mountain into Oatman, especially with RV's coming at
you around blind corners and well over their lines.
The weekend was hot and extremely windy (which made the heat seem less). Not
even a hint of anyone running hot, not even warm and we all had the the A/C
going all weekend. Round trip mileage for the weekend averaged about 850 miles
(times 4 cars equals 3400 DeLorean Miles). Total problems: None. We all made it
home just fine and enjoyed every minute of the weekend. I can't say that for all
the Corvettes that were seen by the side of the road, though.
A tribute to a fine car.
