NO
FRILLS IRON BOTTOM MOTORING TOUR 2008
Please
take note that the 2008 NFIBMT event was the
last. I will keep this link open to
honor those who created this great event, and
let those who were not able to participate
remember the fantastic time those fortunate
enough to participate had. The original
NFIBMT sponsors have requested that any
similar event held in the future not be held
under the NFIBMT name.

10th
Annual No Frills Iron Bottom
Motoring Tour
NON
CRANIUS-INVERTUS-RECTUMUS
Why This is a No Frills Event and
What you need to Know
The route book is as straight
forward as we can make it.
Mileage is estimated, if the book
says turn right when it should say
turn left it is an honest mistake,
not an attempt to get you lost.
Complaints about the instructions
are not tolerated. Bring a
map and use your common sense.
following our route is optional. The
California map provided by the
Automobile Club of Southern
California, includes most of the
roads on this tour (some roads are
not well marked). Even the guy
who lays out the route gets lost.
If you have a GPS BRING IT
Start with a full fuel tank.
Gas is available at several
locations but there are some
long stretches without gas. Keep
your tank topped off.
You will need your drivers license,
car registration and proof of
current insurance
to
gain access to Ft. Hunter Liggett
Carry a cell phone. If you break
down you are on your own.
Other participants may stop and
offer help, because they are fellow
gear heads. However, you
are ultimately responsible for your
own vehicle.

Caravan Info
Send
me your Shasta travel plans and I will add your travel plans to a page showing who is
going, when they plan to leave, where you are staying, and your
e-mail so others can see who is going when and set up caravan
plans. Maybe we can build some good sized caravans that will
grow as we travel to Shasta. You don't need to be a NOWROC
member to have your region included in the caravan list.

Run
Forest Run!
August 22 - 25, 2008

Sponsored by DATSUN510.COM
A
weekend full of canyon
and coastal driving.
OK, this is plenty of time to get
your car ready, get time off, get a hall pass if needed, and get
your car running right for anyone that wants to go.
August 22 - 25, 2008 head to
Arcata, California for a 4 day weekend of unbelievable coastal,
canyon, hill, and forest driving
This is not a
formal event that requires registration, there is no car show,
gymkhana or autocross. There are no communal meals, other than if
people make plans to eat together. This is not a replacement for
Shasta.
This is an
unbelievable weekend with some truly amazing drives in one of the
most beautiful places in the world. We'll be traversing the state
parks of Del Norte County as well as Humboldt Bay.
Don't miss this opportunity. You
may never experience roads and scenery like what this will offer.
62 degrees. Sunny. 4 MPH winds. And a sea of Datsun's running
through the forests and along the coast. Click
here for more details about the area covered each day and
information about where to seek lodging. |
