Lake Havasu trip

[doctorbob]

I look forward to the Arizona Viper Club coming to Lake Havasu in February. I am trying to see if we can get into Chrysler's proving grounds in Yucca, Arizona which is 40 miles north and west of LHC on interstate 40.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Sweet! The AZ grounds are on my bucket list!

When will the Havasu run be? I will be in your neck if the woods again soon!

I just had to look. Google satellite says Ford proving grounds? Hope that's wrong...........

"The Yucca proving ground was owned by Ford Motor Co. from 1954 until it sold to Chrysler in October [2007]"

Indeed a visit to Chrysler's proving grounds would be fun. Please make it happen.

Grailkeeper looking into this also...see my post in his section. Bob

 

[doctorbob]

I need to talk to Rich or Warren since we are in luck........it is a go and we need to arrange with Chrysler the tour.
See Grailkeepers reply to my request tonight.

 

[doctorbob]

Okay people, the problem is that Chrysler is testing and the oval track is being redone. I have an email in to the head of the Proving Grounds to see what we can maybe see. I suggest that you all come up in October for Rods and Relics and do the tour then since the track will be done. Bob. Will keep you up to date. Bob

 

[Mopar Boy]

Thanks for the update Bob!

 

[doctorbob]

Chrysler wants us to wait until October, so lets work on a tour at that time. Bob

 

[Asp Man]

Bob, how are you?Have you got specific dates in mind for Oct.?Greg

 

[doctorbob]

Life is interesting. How is the cold North? I am going to work with the Arizona Club and the Proving Grounds to do it during Rods and Relics in October 18th through the 20th. That is a Thursday though Sunday. There is great car show and maybe we can participate. There will be hundreds of rods and classic cars present. Take a look at their website. Bob
