M-B.E.A.T., the Mercedes British European Auto Tour is being planned for the weekend of April 20-21, the weekend after you have hopefully settled your tax bill and maybe pulled more fund$ back into your checkbook!
We will be gathering at First Watch Tramanto, 34948 N. North Valley Parkway, Phoenix, AZ 85086 at 7:00am on Saturday, April 20, 2024, for breakfast. The restaurant is located in the shopping center at the NW corner of Interstate 17 and Carefree Highway. After breakfast, a driver's meeting will be held around 8:30 during which road safety rules, a route map and lunch location details will be distributed.
Our exact route will be determined shortly after we have had a chance to check the roads and to make sure there are no travel hazards. As in the past, all roads on which we travel will be paved so you don't have to worry about rock chips or other road problems. But rather than being on an Interstate Highway, you will have the opportunity to view the beauty of the back roads and small towns that have little if any traffic.
Lunch will be in Prescott at The Palace Restaurant and Saloon. After lunch you will have the opportunity to wander the shops around Courthouse Square along Whiskey Row and Gurley Street before heading further Northbound into the glorious wilderness of our State.
The cost of the event is $25 per person for members and $30 per person for non-members. To register and pay call Debbie at 808-282-5249
