The Iron Bottom No Frills Motoring Tour April 10-12

[KevinP73]

With any luck I should have the 160hp motor in Scrufus Domesticus by the end of this weekend. The iron bottom sounds like the perfect place to break in a new motor. Anyone else plan on attending?

Hey Kevin - there's a couple of us from the Midwest who will be there along with maybe 10-12 other R Gruppe guys. Should be good!

Well, you could always put the car on a transporter, fly-in, fly-out.
I dont live out there, but I'm driving 1000 miles to get there!

We're looking for something to do on Sunday before flying home. Is there anything automotive-related going on anywhere is SoCal on Sunday April 13? Chris, when are you heading home?

10th Annual No Frills Iron Bottom Motoring Tour
NON CRANIUS-INVERTUS-RECTUMUS
Why This is a No Frills Event
and
What you need to Know

The route book is as straight forward as we can make it. Mileage is estimated, if the book says turn right when it should say turn left it is an honest mistake, not an attempt to get you lost. Complaints about the instructions are not tolerated. Bring a map and use your common sense. following our route is optional.

The California map provided by the Automobile Club of Southern California, includes most of the roads on this tour (some roads are not well marked). Even the guy who lays out the route gets lost. If you have a GPS BRING IT

Start with a full fuel tank. Gas is available at several locations but there are some long stretches without gas. Keep your tank topped off.

You will need your drivers license, car registration and proof of current insurance to gain access to Ft. Hunter Liggett

Carry a cell phone. If you break down you are on your own. Other participants may stop and offer help, because they are fellow gear heads. However, you are ultimately responsible for your own vehicle.
