2015 Arivaca Run - Photos

The 2015 Arivaca Run was great.  Even though we only had a couple of Italian cars we did have a nice turn out as folks brought some other vehicles to enjoy the day with.  We met up not far from the Valencia and I-19 interchange and headed to Green Valley to Duval Body and Paint to check out the owner's (Rick Pacinda) Pantera that is currently getting restored and modified.  A big thanks to Rick for taking time out of his busy schedule to host the group and give us a tour of his facility!

After the visit to Duval Body and Paint we headed down to Amado for a photo opportunity at the Longhorn Grill in Amado.  The Longhorn is currently closed and for sale.  It was being attended to by a remodeling crew who allowed us to come in and take a look around.  It is an interesting place with a great view of the Santa Rita range.  Folks were getting hungry so we opted for lunch across the street at the Cow Palace instead of waiting to get to Arivaca. After lunch we had a couple of people peel off to attend to other obligations back in Tucson and Wilcox since we already nearing the middle of the afternoon.  Meanwhile, the Panteras and a "support vehicle" continued to Arivaca with a spirited drive.  We stopped in Arivaca to look around and grab a drink.  The cars got a lot of looks and thumbs-up from folks.  The roads were pretty good with the exception of the last straight stretch between Arivaca and AZ-286 which had a few craters that desperately need repair. The remainder of the run was pleasant and spirited.  Folks headed their separate ways to points north and east at Three Points and the day finished up with a classic Tucson sunset.
