I had a great time and that was a fun drive despite the "parade" and slowpokes. It was great seeing familiar faces and a few new ones. Thanks Sandeep for organizing it!

This was a great trip. Well organized and lead by a fine team. We had a great time and would do this again. For us, it was a 12-hr trip and a little over 400 miles door to door. I know others had a longer haul and I wish them well and safe journeys. Thanks again for planning the day and having all those bonus raffle prizes.

Absolutely an awesome drive! Always nice to get out and put some fun-miles on the car. Big thanks to the organizers and the donators as well!

Great drive!! I think overall that was one of the better drives we have had lately. Huge thank you to the group!! We tried our best to plan everything, but obviously its impossible to cover all our bases and account for unforeseen circumstances. I really appreciate everyone staying in good spirits and being positive despite the time we lost during the parade and dealing with all the traffic on the roads. We arrived at lunch about an hour late and got jumbled together at the gas stop in Flagstaff but everyone made the best of the situation and it all worked out so kudos to the group When events like this occur it makes it a whole lot easier to want to go out and plan more events.

A big shout out and thank you to Sandeep for putting this all together. He went well above and beyond on this trip with the raffles and organization. I was really just a consultant so didn't do nearly as much as he did!! I think there were some lessons learned from this trip that we will try to encompass for the next drive, but overall I think it was great and it was fun to just DRIVE for a whole day and not spend much time standing around!

Looking forward to future events. I think we will have to put together a summer run to somewhere cool...

Definitely one of the better group drives I've ever been apart of. I generally try to stay away from mtn runs as much as possible typically but I'm really glad I took part in this one.

FYI - HWY 89 from Prescott to HWY 40 east of Williams sucks. After Lacey and I finished up at Bearizona (which is awesome), we were in a little time crunch and decided to take that route instead of the fun scenic route from Flag to Sedona to Jerome to Prescot. Next time.. .

I might have to purposely schedule some fishings trips up north with the misses to go on some more drives so if anyone wants to go on a small one-two day fishing trip up to Flag, and wants me to carry their fishings poles we could arrange something.

Im glad to hear that everyone that participated in the Drive had fun. Overall it was a good day. I want thank people for the generous donations I received to give away in the raffle. Thank you Robert, Madhav, Ben, Steve, and Alex! I also want to extend a big thanks to Adam. It's nice to have someone with planning experience to bounce ideas with for the drive. Not to mention I had fun just enjoying the view as a passenger for once. Thank you Robert, Sean, Adam, and Chris for your help with the Drive Groups. Your willingness to do this made the drive much easier and manageable.

It seems everyone enjoyed the raffle prizes and the Drive. Any feedback on the event is always welcome (good or bad). I know that we had some unplanned challenges along our route which made this more of a cruise rather than a spirited drive. Appreciate everyone being patient on the roads and with each other. My goal was to always plan an event that was well organized, met the needs of the participants, and is overall fun to drive.

So now I would request that someone else plan an event in the summer months so we can get into cooler temps for the day. Who's going to step up to organize one?
