"Relay"..............
 

Saw that word on another thread, I wish I could help the guy out but...how about a "Relay" across America???? Anyone up for a relay from Maine to California??? Back roads, no Interstates, straight lines or zig-zagging eventually getting to CA. Say every 50-75 miles another Barner Model A and driver takes over from another Barner Model A and driver. Hey!! press coverage!!!! We could be the Forrest Gump's of Model A Fords!!!! ;)

No Guts, No Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: "Relay"..............

Re: "Relay"..............
 

Proof!!! an ex-wife of mine is on this forum....I got the one star rating after she read your comment!!!! :D

Re: "Relay"..............
 

three ex-wives,

Oh well, just a thought to get people involved.......:rolleyes:

Re: "Relay"..............
 

I like the idea.....

Re: "Relay"..............
 

Very intriguing idea.
In a "relay" something is carried/passed on from one participant to the other.

Is there a Model A museum in Calif? Maybe a East coast club could send something, by way of the relay, or it could go the other way, and come West to East.

A log book showing the members who took part up/down/across their state from state line to state line. We have members from every state, it shouldn't be hard to organize. It doesn't have to be done in a month, two months, weather would slow some down, do your stretch when it's possible, regardless how long it takes, as long it gets finished.

Can I trailer my A in the relay:D

Re: "Relay"..............
 

Maybe the route could follow the Lincoln Highway.....

Re: "Relay"..............
 

:d:d:d:d:d

Re: "Relay"..............
 

Lincoln, Route 66, etc etc..............as long as it eventually gets across the state, depends on the amount of participation, could come into one state and then go north, back south across a ways before crossing over. Needs to start in Maine, organized across Maine before crossing into the next state and co-ordination would lie with each state participants.

Re: "Relay"..............
 

I say we go through every connected state
Maine to FL then over and up etc

Re: "Relay"..............
 

Sounds fine, the more participation the bigger the Log Book, anyone from Maine want to kick it off?

Re: "Relay"..............
 

A very cool idea...

Re: "Relay"..............
 

If someone from Maine doesn't come FWD then it's S.O.L.!!!!

Re: "Relay"..............
 

Besides a log Book, how about a 1937 edition of.....GRIT that I forgot to deliver?????????????? :D

In 2018, it will be the 90th anniversary of the first model year of the Ford Model A.
About 18 months to put this together.

Coast to coast is about 3500 miles, to hit every State (and stay off the freeways) could triple that, figure 10,000 miles, 50-100 mile relay legs, you would need at least 100-200 drivers/cars.

I believe thousands of Barner's would happily sign on to this venture.
This is a very doable project.

Sign me up for Oklahoma (Route 66)
