Time for an update for the Route 66 Trip. Over the holidays Mark continued to work with the Route 66 Alliance to plan the trip. The trip is currently scheduled to depart from the California End of Route 66 with as large a send off as we can manage at the Santa Monica Pier. We hope by starting with a big publicity bang at the beginning we will have a larger following of grass roots people for the whole trip.
Our Bridgestone sponsor is really coming through for us. They have matched the tire size for the GTO and have a "green" eco friendly tire that will fit. This should give us better gas milage which we desperately need with the 140 range on the CNG tanks as configured now. We need all the milage we can get! Thank you Bridgestone!
Its too early to say officially, but Bridgestone is working on arrangements for the GTO to travel to a significant large event and make its first showing in middle January. This is big news if all plans come together and it actually happens. Stay tuned for the announcement. I hope we get official word the first few days of January.
Mark has selected a shirt vendor and we should have some really nice black t-shirts with the Route66GoatGas logo soon.
Thats the quick update for now.

What a great goal, and a great trip being planned. Congratulations. I have a little free private Route 66 and antique car museum in a vintage gas station in Afton, OK and I hope you'll consider visiting when your trip takes you through eastern Oklahoma on Route 66. We'd love to meet you and help you in any way necessary.
