Relay across America - POLL
Would you be willing to participate in a relay rally across America, by driving your Model A through your State in a measured relay leg of 50 - 75 miles?
Avoiding all major highways, stopping at historic points of interest in a timely but unhurried pace?

Re: Relay across America - POLL
As per your post on the other thread you might well want to add he question, are you willing to donate a sum of money for each mile you drive!

Re: Relay across America - POLL
Piling on idea's for the next one.... It might be fun, instead of pony express style, go from club to club as a tour relay with multiple cars on each leg. At the end of each stunt the next club in the relay can host a thing to see in their town and help plan for a hotel if need be. Like I said, next idea, this one is great!!

I should clarify that this is NOT a sign up.
Just wish to gauge the level of support for this type of event. Don't be shy...be honest

The person needs to get a life.....IMO. I'm curious on how many from each state will be interested in participating because that will depend a lot on the route to be taken if this comes together.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
Burner31: I volunteered for the first three categories; willing to help any way I can. When you start planning routes, and traveling through Mississippi, please consider the beautiful Natchez Trace - runs from Nashville, TN all the way to Natchez, MS. Speed limit is 50, sightseeing encouraged and NO commercial vehicles permitted. I am located 15 minutes off the Trace, and have the capability of rescuing anyone who might need help. Certainly NOT an expert "A" repairman; however, can supply the "fix-it" space!

Very interesting idea. I'm more than willing to participate if this ever truly becomes a thing.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
That will depend upon who and how many from each state wants to participate. Say, if only one from one state volunteers, is he/her going to drive the whole distance across their state? I think it could go all around a state as long as it does get eventually passed to another state. Lot's of co-ordination will be needed. Can't be me at the moment, I'm involved with something that is making my hair fall out, keeping me up at night and it's not a woman.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
I voted in the can't volunteer column because I read the relay thread after I read this thread. So being that this could possibly take place in 2018 I may be In a position to participate. As of right now body and chassis are seperated for restoration.

I thank you for your enthusiasm and support. But I think the originator of this idea has the right tack on the route planning for each State...let each State, State road Caption and participants determine the final route. Keep it grassroots and keep it simple If this truly does come into being, "you" can help plan for your State. Please do not think for one minute that I had anything to do with the creation of this idea, I am just as enthusiastic and all in as you... This gem of an idea belongs to the originator...one man..31 Model A

May have to do 100 miles or so in Texas, seeing as how their State is as big as freak'n Europe. A Nation in their own right. But once again...that would be up to the State road Captain, the participants and of course the number of cars/drivers. Could have just one car/driver per State, but then what fun would that be for the hundreds and hundreds of other cars/drivers that wish to participate. Guiding rule...keep it simple, keep it fun...as many Model A's that can be reasonably accommodated per State.

Re: Relay across America - POLL
Here is one Texan that would be willing to help in any way necessary, even to driving the whole way across, from Sabine River to ElPaso. I would even try to get the two clubs I belong to to get involved.
One of my trips on my bucket list is t recreate a trip by some model A frieds from 15 years ago - Trip around perimeter of Texas. someday. ken |

I think it's a great idea and am willing to support it as much as possible. I will bring it up at our next meeting to rally support. Don/WI

Re: Relay across America - POLL
Sounds like an interesting idea, I'm just curious why it needs to be a separate event instead of making it an organized part of something already being put together. Make plans to travel to a MAFCA or MARC national meet in 2018. Lay out the route and have things planned along the way, that way you get your rally and support a national organization. Just my opinion.
