Good lord , that was a fantastic video. I saved it to my favorites. 

Was all the fuel stops planned together and how far a part ?    What was the average speed so everyone could cruise together ?   I realize some would go fast and slow down, but on the average, it seemed they all stuck together.

Thank you for sharing Jeff   :2thumbs:

There are three planned stops on the cruise:

1)  Fuel stop in Wickenburg, AZ - about 60 miles from the starting point

2)  Fuel stop in Kingman, AZ - about 150 miles from 1st gas stop

3)  Lunch at Martin Swanty Dodge in Kingman, AZ.  The group coming from LA (if on time) meets up with the Phoenix group here.

The group kind of stays together, I thought people stayed together better last year.  Some people go faster than others (people with a 3:91 gear typically don't drive 85 mph on the highway), but lunch in Kingman is at a set time, so if you go ahead you just wait at the dealer for everyone else to get there.  The newer cars also don't need to stop for fuel every time, but I do anyway because it is so cool to see all the cars at the gas station.

If you are referring to the blue 67-69 Barracuda vert, it's not CP but it is a guy from Canada.  He was on the cruise last year also.

  That was great. That gave me some motivation to get out in the garage and do some block sanding on mine.  Got to get it back out on the street by this summer.   :bananasmi
