moparmagiclives Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) The Solor Cup ran this weekend. This is a shot looking down in the lagoon. This is just a small portion of the pits. I was a little disapointed they did'nt have any Grand prix running, but they had alot more super stocks then I remember the last few years. guess I'll just have to wait till the Big Boys run on the columbia...darn Edited May 21, 2012 by moparmagiclives
Dr. Cranky Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I love the summer for all the uninterrupted painting time . . . crisp, bright days painting in the sun!
rel14 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Cool, i'm in south Florida,,cann't tell winter from summer. LOL
Rob Hall Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I'm looking forward to October. Summer is miserable here. But I am looking forward to my out-of-town trips this Spring/Summer (Indy 500, Rolex Monterey Historics, etc).
sports850 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Well there's only a week or so left in Autmn here but I was still watching bikini's at the beach on the weekend ... Mean's that it's still good painting weather too of course

Summer is miserable here. But I am looking forward to my out-of-town trips this Spring/Summer (Indy 500, Rolex Monterey Historics, etc). During the middle part of the summer, or the hottest, its almost to hot to paint during the day, I find that i need to wait tell after the sun goes down to be able to get a good paint job. I dont think people realize just how miserable the summers can be here, put it this way, the temp right now is 106 , and its only may

martinfan5 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I know, its going to suck having to move in a month
FASTBACK340 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 This is why I love summer. After coming home from a cruise with the Wife,start a fire and pour a glass of some single malt Scotch.
FASTBACK340 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 My Father in law lives in Phoenix (Near Blackhawk Frwy & Bell Run) and he always taunts me & his Daughter in the winter about how nice it is there. Now we taunt him about living on the face of the sun and we remind him about all the cruises we attend (He has a `49 MG and a `67 Healey. He's way-cool) while he has to wait until the lava cools. It's all in good fun. But we DO owe him a visit `....
Wayne's World Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Cool, i'm in south Florida,,cann't tell winter from summer. LOL Difference between summer and winter down here...SNOWBIRDS!!!!!
Rob Hall Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Difference between summer and winter down here...SNOWBIRDS!!!!! Got those here also.
martinfan5 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 My Father in law lives in Phoenix (Near Blackhawk Frwy & Bell Run) I think you mean Black Cayon freeway (I-17) and Bell road Oh yea , plenty of snow birds here
FASTBACK340 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I think you mean Black Cayon freeway (I-17) and Bell road Oh yea , plenty of snow birds here Castles & Coasters is along side IIRC. I drove up to mall north of Phoenix and thought it was Blackhawk. It's been a while
martinfan5 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Castles & Coasters is along side IIRC. I drove up to mall north of Phoenix and thought it was Blackhawk. It's been a while Yes that is correct , its at Metro Center Mall
sak Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Just waiting to win that lotto maxx. Definately buy a place down there in Arizona. Spent my last vacation near Brownsville and no comparison. Scottsdale is paradise.

Scottsdale is paradise. Haha Scottsdale is for the Snobbs, its funny, for the most part, if you live in the valley, and not in Scottsdale, you stay out of Scottsdale, only people that live in Scottsdale like it for most part. It has or had a great night life scene, you know the places where it cost $20 for a drink
moparmagiclives Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 Yes that is correct , its at Metro Center Mall I watched a guy get fed the rear set of trux off a skate board there one night. Ahh the good old days !!!

You are right about the restaurants, there a lot of nice ones in Scottsdale, in all honesty, the main reason why I dont like Scottsdale is the way the streets are laid out, Scottsdale does not for the most part follow Phoenix with grid layout of the streets, I always get confused on what streets go where. I know Shea, Shea takes you to the Beeline , to go to the casino in Payson
FASTBACK340 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Speaking of Scottsdale area restaurants.... Is Pinacle Peak stiff one of "the" places for a Steak? Like I said, it's been a while.

Rob Hall Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Speaking of Scottsdale area restaurants.... Is Pinacle Peak stiff one of "the" places for a Steak? Like I said, it's been a while. It's still around, pretty good.... my favorite steakhouse in Scottsdale is Mastro's City Hall...
