Event Coverage **2nd Annual Phoenix-Arizona Hot Rod Hundred, Saturday April 25th**

Well it is that time again boys and girls! Put away the lawn cars, cry baby dolls and shut off the cheesy Do-whop music because it is time to get out and drive them.

In 2014 we had 17 hardy participants take on the 103 mile tour of the some of the prettiest North valley- foothills back roads and it was a treat.









This year we have a new route that is approximately 103 miles however it still being fine tuned but it promises to be more scenic than last year. So not give too much away but it includes the world famous Superstition Mountains and will end up in Historic Superior Arizona ( Where the movie U Turn was filmed with Sean Penn) at Porters Bar Grill.

Once again this is FREE run but if you want T-shirts that will feature Jeff Norwell art they will be $20 .


Anything pre-64 is welcome so we are consistent with HAMB friendly only cars, so no muscle cars.

We have an official starting point at 20635 N Cave Creek Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85024 in the parking lot of Dolphin Pools just north of the loop 101 on Cave Creek Rd. for registration and T-shirts from 9am-10am on Saturday morning April 25th.



Our final stop is Porters Cafe in Superior, Arizona http://www.yelp.com/biz/porters-cafe-superior where we have reservations for the afternoon of April 25th on the Patio. I recommend Porter's Green Chili burger and homemade fries it is the best!

Here is the route:

Just the normal stuff 'round here cvstl... Thanks! I am WAY in on this chingo! The 'Bucket has been thoroughly shaken down, and it will be there!

 

Added to my calendar... I'll try to make it!

 

Count us in for a second year. I'll bring the wagon this time

If the car is not apart by then I will be there. It was a awesome time last tour.

 

Trying to figure out how to make it Doug! Looks like beautiful scenery you have there.

 

To help Doug know how many T-shirts to order, if you are planning on attending and getting the T-shirt, feel free to paypal your $25 to [email protected] and include Phoenix HRH and what size T-shirt you are want in the note section.

Wish I could make the trip out to Phoenix!

 

...And if it is, your ridin' with me Hot Rod Ron!

 

If I get the '51 back down on all fours and the damn clutch & T5 is working I'll be there.
(That is if you let cars in that need paint....)

 

got a Tee shirt picture??

 

Hell, last year I rode with Hot Rod Don, and his car needs PRIMER...

 

Sure, why not! Maybe this year I'll actually make it to the end of the run...

 

Or I can break your car again!

 

If it's okay with you, I'll pass on that this year!

 

Sounds cool as I'm in Havasu but my "35" is in Detroit. Have fun.

 

Last year's run was just plain bitchin'.

I'll be there for sure.

 

Guys, thanks for the positive response................since the final route is still being fined tuned we have not selected a starting point yet.

Me and Chip (Mr. Louvers) are going to pre-run the entire route before making it final.

 

Should be able to make it this year with a real hot rod!

 

I'll be there. I sold my '32 - but I have a new toy for the run!

 

Bonsey did you buy that 3 window in your avatar? If you did I am super jealous. That car is my favorite 3 window of all time.

 

Hey Ron - I did buy that coupe. I'm with you, I dig it's look.

 

Going to try to make this one!

 

The '55 just may be there

 

BTT.................Still finalizing the route and need to pre-run it before posting it but stay tuned!!

 

The basic Jeff Norwell Art in done but the final product is not ready to release.

But what I can tell you in typical Norwell fashion it is awesome!

 

Put me down for this one. Looking forward to some east valley cruising.

 

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta see it in person and you got too take me for a ride in it.

 

We placed the t-shirt order yesterday. The @Jeff Norwell art renderings looked way cool. Hopefully after the SWMO run, on April 4, we can post a photo of the t-shirt design so we can know how many to ship over to Doug.
