This was the fourth year we took the Starliner on the "fun Run" on Route 66 from Seligman to Topock. There is a Friday night cruise and barbecue in Seligman but, we did our normal Saturday morning run from the house (East on I40) to Seligman 43 miles, for the 10:00am start. Then west on Route 66 through Peach Springs, Truxton, Valentine, Hackberry, Valle Vista to Kingman that is another 60 miles and takes us around 2 hours with the stops along the way. In Kingman old town 2 of the main streets are closed for all the Fun Run cars to park for a Show and Shine car show, with lots of vendors and live bands.

On Sunday morning we go from Kingman to Golden shores through Goldenrod and Oatman for the awards then out to Topock and back east on I40 to home that is 150 mile day. The Starliner ran great and we had a wonderful time. If anyone is int he Kingman area the first weekend of May...

Route 66 Wings and Wheels Inc. puts on this event and other fund raising events with the goal of building a multi-faceted motor sports facility in Kingman. All types of vehicles were run in different classes, truck, sport compact, pure street, hot rod, pro street, moto...
