Bartlett Lake Drive

No invite?

 

I'd be down for a bartlett lake drive sometime. I need to get the Porsche out a bit.

 

I havent driven my F430 in 2 weeks... time to stretch her legs.... You should try the Tortilla Flat drive.... 114 turns... Get a burger down the bottom... 2 problems... on the weekend there is police ... and its 1 lane no passing...

 

What part of town is everyone in..
Tortilla Flat is on the far east side of Phoenix (Apache Junction).

There is a place called bagdad arizona and the road to it is allegedly absolutely incredible.

Also, just as a heads up I love the idea of a meet up and drive... but be careful to not be considered the organizer. I can't remember the exact amount of cars but its something like any organized start of a "drive" with 4 or more cars needs to have an insurance policy in the state of arizona. They are cheap policies. Also, you don't want someone on the drive to kill someone and then be called the organizer and then not have insurance. Hate to bring poo poo to the table... but just looking out for everyone. Would love to do a drive though

 

That is good knowledge... I think we will consider this a random chance meeting and we all happen to want to go to Tortilla Flats.

 

Its amazing how coincidences happen!

 

Are you going to make it tomorrow

 

Seriously? I have been organizing drives and weekend events for 30 years. Arizona does not require anything. If you are 'afraid' of someone killing someone, be selective of who you invite or just stay home and polish the car, it's safer.

btw...... Bagdad is an interesting drive. The road has lots of dips. If you have a TR or 348 there can be issues with the nose scraping. The only traffic I have ever encountered on that road is some mining trucks.

 

Yup... it was that way when I was doing this stuff in the early 2000s. It seemed completely ridiculous. I am just trying to bring a little light to the situation that if something bad did happen they will probably go after the organizer and there is supposed to be a insurance policy in place. I was shocked about it when I heard about it and I thought it was a strong arm deal... I still think the words that I am saying can't be true... and I still believe arizona requires an insurance policy. I don't think anyone enforces it... until its too late.

 

The road between Kirkland and Bagdad is pretty rough in spots. Did that trip in my 360 last year and won't do it again. The drive south from Kirkland to Congress is scenic, and the road is good. This assumes you have come up through Prescott.
If you guys make a run up this way, I'd like to join you.
Thanks
Mike
