That's looks so great, and I've always wanted to visit that area! Any idea of when you'd want to set this up?

Perhaps End of May or in the Fall, depending on interest.
Easily done on a Fri-Sunday trip to accomodate working folks but the best would be a mdweek, Tuesday -Thu so you could def get rooms at The View in Monument Valley and at North Rim Grand Canyon.
A lot of people only see the South Rim Grand Canyon Visitor Center and while it does have fantastic light and perspective, The North Rim Hotel is better at Dusk/Dawn IMHO
I'm retired and flexible but have done this before as I ran a trip for another car club Nov 2019 and we had a great time.

This would be an EPIC trip. I would have to ship mine out there - just because I wouldn't even drive a Suburban that far - but getting a group together for that trip would be a total memory-maker...

Could be fun but my US schedule isn't quite set that far in advance.

I vote for the Fall, as next month won't work for me. As things are starting to open up, I need to focus on traveling for work

Fall for me is a possibility. Would love to add some miles like that to my car.

I sort of understand if this is people's weekend car.. and they're busy people and don't drive it a lot... but less than 1k miles is criminal for these cars. Everyday is fun for me driving to and from work.. .even if all I have is a few cloverleafs and minor twisties. The way it sounds, feels and drives is just reward for all the hard work I put in between drives.

Even driving 300 or so miles from SF to LA and back - it's mostly straight except for a few higher speed runs through Pacheco Pass and Tioga Pass - but man those runs are fun.

Not a touring, but a .1 but I'm just over 28K. Service and new Cup 2's on the rear so should be good for more miles and smiles this year. Back when we actually worked in offices, I drove 3 - 4 days a week, but relegated to weekend drives mainly now due to working at home. High School baseball not helping, but I enjoy watching my son pitch as much as driving...and the GT3 stays away from the baseball fields.
