Re: Relay across America - POLL
A good example, I'm between two clubs, one directly East and one just South in St Louis, there are quite a few north of Springfield, I joined the club in St Louis, they were a bit closer but Istill I can't participate in many of their outings or even meetings but as an individual, for example, if the relay came into Illinois from Indiana directly east of one club, a member could drive over, meet up and head back west, now I could meet them in their home location and then drive it over to Missouri or, it could be handed over to me here, then I would drive it over to Missouri, just an example, it could tour a whole state before being passed over...........Club or individual, get your name on the list to your state Capitan, tell him/her where you are, tell him/her how far you can or want to drive in one direction. He/she puts you on the mission board and location along with contact info. It also doesn't have to run continuously, it could spend the night due to foul weather or other encounters along the way, home cook meal for example, parade through small towns, etc etc.

Crunching numbers, I figure 107 days minimum, Model A Day being just one of them, who will be the lucky drivers on that day? What event awaits them? Be like winning the lottery, a story for the grandkids thats for sure.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
Bump..............
There have been six volunteers as Road Captains.............this project will need enough states participation to get from the East coast to the West Coast. Anyone else for now? A good winter project to organize your state for next year.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
If you're old has petrified dog shite like I am and your memory is called, "the ole grey mare", I can only remember a certain thing over a few weeks. Thought I'd bump this and see what new interest it might generate.
Any suggestions in naming this adventure?

Re: Relay across America - POLL
We need 57 State Captains and so far we only have six...and that's not even enough to go in a direct line from east to west/west to east.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
Actually, Barners now are in the 'doing' mode instead of the 'planning' mode. Come 1 Nov, I believe more planners for the coming year will emerge and this might get more motion forward for it to happen in 2017.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
OK Barners, how do we get this thing started. It can take several months to get the organizational work done. 2017 sounds lke a good target to start the Relay.
First -we need a National Coordinator or captain Second -State or Regional coordinator or captain Third - someone/s to make the decision of route and timing. (approximate timing). I am going to speak to my club (Autumn Trails Model A Ford Club) about this today at our monthly meet. Got another idea to add to the Relay that just might peak some other interest. One, approach FORD about using the local FORD dealers as ronduvou (sp) ponts at small towns across the nation. Two, use the Relay and the media exposure to raise $$$ for a group like Wounded Warriors. For expmple $1.00 raised for each mile driven. Fordbarn, Facebook, Twitter etc could be used as the nation communication network. Enough of my rambling. Lets get this thing started. Ken |
