Route 66 Rodders Mud Run:  Our June picnic is an
annual event.  It is normally held at the Jemez Falls Picnic Area
the second weekend in June.  Our picnic was officially dubbed the
"Mud Run" during our second year, when a sudden and
unexpected rainstorm covered the roads with a layer of red mud.  
One can only guess what color most of our hotrods became on the
drive home.  We now enjoy the beautiful cruise, but watch the
sky overhead.  
We also schedule at least one other event each month.  These include garage tours, Mystery Tour,
Cruise to Eat, Our club in the park picnic and short day trips around our great state.
Check back for details and dates.
Drag Racing !!  The Route 66 Rodders love Drag Racing!!   We
try yearly to schedule a day at the drags.  This year also we will notify
you when we had a date to race.  We love to show off our cars.
SWAP MEET !!
Normally around the second Sunday in May, many of us, get up extra early for our yearly swap meet.
  This is our "big" club fund raiser that we all look forward to.  The parking lot starts filling up early
morning and people are all business looking for the parts and that good deal.  The event is going on
20 years strong, so make your calendar as a not to miss event.
