Looks like a terrific event. Hope that "Where or When" will be ready to go by then. It would be a nice first outing for me and the trailer and would be fun to travel will other TDs and TTTs.
:applause:

Gage I do believe Marianne said she was going to do it. We usually have about 6 to 10 trailers that go with us, it is open to anyone any vehicle.

Eddie,

Is there going to be a group going together from Phoenix? If so where are they meeting and are they going on Thursday or Friday?

Good question, Lee. Did you get an answer? Will there be trailers on the Fun Run or just cool old cars and trucks?

I am hopeful that my TTT will be ready for its maiden voyage even though everything will not be complete. I'd love to make this trek with other TDs and TTTs.

Lee, I don't know who is going when. I have not decided if I will leave Friday after work or take Friday off and leave at 4 in the morning.
Mike anyone can do the Fun Run, there are new cars old cars bicycles mopeds motorhomes although I don't recommend motorhomes on the highway from Kingman to Oatman. There was even a guy on a riding lawn mower one year. More and More you see trailers on the run.

Is that the stretch where Cliff's trailer went airborne? I suppose that a slower speed would make it safe enough to travel.

If I'm street legal, I will sign up at the last minute. I hope that that would not be a problem.

Where is the starting point? I wasn't certain looking at the web site.

Thanks.

The area where Cliffs went air borne is in California. The road between Kingman and Oatman is winding and narrow.

Winding and narrow. Piece of cake for TDs and TTTs.

Got to do this. Where will you start from? I might try to get there early just to shake down the systems and to drive at reasonably slow speeds this first time out.

Eddie, I was planning on making the Fun Run, but it is the same weekend as the Dam Gathering. I,m going North to visit friends along the way and will end up at the Dam Gathering. I've been there twice, and it rained both times. At least you won't have to be concerned about that happening in AZ. Have fun, perhaps I'll see you there next year.

Lee,

Just got my TTT inspected and registered today, so I should be able to make the Fun Run. I would be happy to tag along with you on Friday. Will you take I-17 up to the Prescott shortcut to Ash Fork? I will probably tow at only 55 because this is the first real trip. Is that too slow for you?

It seems that there are several campgrounds in Seligman. Which one do you have in mind and must I make reservations?

Lastly, do you know whether it is possible to sign up for the Fun Run at the starting line or must I mail in the request?

Lots of questions from a newbie. Hope you have a few answers. Thanks in advance.
