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.

Nissan Autocross and Show n Shine
