Drive to Inspire
Home Page
Welcome to the website of first alternative fuel muscle car to drive across Route 66 from Santa Monica to Chicago. We modified a 1966 Pontiac GTO (Goat) to be fueled entirely on compressed natural gas (CNG). We drove our Pontiac GTO 2,500 miles across Route 66 to prove that we have the technology and the natural resources right here in America. The GTO was fueled using the existing CNG infrastructure, which is sparse at best, we also built our own refueling truck (GM Silverado) to accommodate the known shortages. Just to show we are not GM bias we had a CNG Ford Fusion and CNG F150 as support vehicles on the drive. We are a just couple of knuckleheads trying to get American off their gas and onto alternative fuels. We believe that American produced Compressed Natural Gas is an immediate bridge to future alternative fuels that we can enjoy today and simultaneously support America's economy. We believe this trip can lift the spirit and raise the collective consciousness of the citizens of America and remind us of our wonderful heritage of muscle cars, Route 66, adventure, sightseeing, vacationing and tire smoking fun. We collaborate with CNG Outfitters, CNG producers, CNG providers, ecologist, Clean Cities initiatives, hot rod enthusiasts, auto afficianados, adventurers, and friends to facilitate mutual support, recognition, and the exchanging of ideas to reclaim our American heritage of fun times with fun cars. We work to encourage a thriving network of individuals who want to see the greatness of the "ROAD TRIP" returned without the guilt of sending our fuel money out of America. We facilitate classes, lectures, appearances, and exhibits in an effort to reclaim the fun for all citizens of America. Our website strives to unleash the creativity and American innovation potential of every follower to help us make this happen!
Mission Statement
To inspire that great entrepreneurial spirit that our country was built on. Challenging everyday Americans to become part of the solution for energy independence. Through innovation and determination reclaim America's greatness and move it down the road.
Drive to Inspire
We invite all who wish to share in a worthwhile adventure to join us next year on Route 66. Our idea is to create an annual Drive to Inspire to highlight the need for energy independence and the rich history of Route 66. This drive is open to all alternative fuel types, so bring your vision of energy independence and take the drive with us. We would like to hear your thoughts on how we can gain participation and make this drive a success. CNG currently holds the record for the first alternative vehicle to complete Route 66, this record was made to be broken. We plan to have lots of fun, raise a little.... awareness, and maybe even inspire a few people.
