It's about 2:30am here and I 'think' I had about two hours of sleep.


I'm now heading out to pickup blu and then we drive straight to Dallas.

See you guys there.

 

You guys are nuts, see you at the airport!

 

Let me know if you break that average mph record...

 

Is he the navigator in your avatar? I'd be scared if i were you......

 

I take it you're not going?

 

I said I was going to go this year with the guys since I didn't last year, but my upcoming wedding has changed all that and left me with no extra vacation time to take. Plus I'm broke now cause we have to have teh pretty flower arrangements on teh table. if you ask me.

 

Airplanes are for softies.

 

It's cheaper to fly

At least I will be there

 

Yeah, you know the Street Atlas is easy to follow but he still let me miss two turns.

We took the back roads from his house to Gaffney/I85 and right before we got there some kids had closed off a street with the orange cans.


Anyway, we're here at the Hampton Inn which is across the street from Speedzone.


Anyone else?

Damn, you guys hauled.....what was the average speed?

See you guys tonight, leaving for work now.

 

Hey at least you guys made it in the time you said you were going to. Did anyone take a camera with them or a camcorder? Take some pics y0!

 

Been there too. If you think that's gonna suck up your vacation and money, wait till you have a kid.

 

Don't tell me, I don't want to know yet. I just want it to sneek up on me and be like

 

It'll def kick ya in the nutz, surprise or not.

Btw, I'm gonna test the VAFC-II again this weekend and if things don't change, I'll send it to ya next week so you have something to do while your posse is gone to Maxus.

 

That works for me. I have no life anyways.

Any travel log for the return trip? I'm sure some have made it home by now.
Check in when you get back guys(and girls).

 

I just walked in the door about 10 mins ago after dropping off Blu at his place.

 

For the whole trip including stops, no way. However I did burn through 16.8 gallons of fuel in 5:15 (about 400 miles) after I left Dallas. But on that I only managed 63 miles in the first hour. Which leaves an average of 79mph for the remaining 4:15 (before we stopped in Arkansas).

I decided not to drive through the night since we spend most of the day in the hot sun at the car show. We left the gas station at about 5pm CT yesterday and even though we were making good time it just wasn't worth it.

 

Just Got in 15mins ago I left at 4a.m. from Dallas this morning

 

Oh! I forgot also I hit Road kill coming bac which damaged my front lip pretty bad and I also got a speeding ticket in Arkansas for driving 89 in a 70 speed zone but all is well I made it home. Now, to buy another Stillen lip.

 

Chris, good meetin ya. sorry to hear about the lip and ticket.
Just got home at 7pm tonight. left at 8am this morning.

Max added:

0 miles while I was gone....

 

Got home at noon today. Took 1 1/2 days, staying over just north of STL.

Sorry to hear about the damage and the ticket, Chris.....

 

Glad you made it home OK, me and Brad drove back that Mon morning and got a few Vid clips. I will post that soon. I will get that lip fix within a Month or so I'm not in a rush.

 

Ya, Nice meet you too man along with everyone else, the trip was fun and I'm looking forward to the next meet.

 

Ok Just got home now. Left Monday morning at 9 am and got back here at 6 pm...

Also going home helped this family get out of their wrecked car in Arkansas. Saw a white car start fish tailing 1/8 mile in front of me on I-30, then it disapeared off into the woods/swamp . Me and two other cars stopped to help out and we got the kids and driver out, but a guy was stuck in the car. It hit a tree and trapped him between the crushed B pillar and the center consule. It took like 3 of us and 3 paramedics to bust up enough stuff to get him out. He had a collapsed lung and some other injuries, the paramedics said he should be ok. All other passengers were cut up bad and bruised, but were otherwise ok.

So after all that I took my time getting home and drove like a granny. That and I stopped up at Tilleys new shop for an hour. 1800 miles with 2 hours of sleep since Monday morning. Total time was 34 hours.

 

Good move Joe.

We need to hook up so I can see what you've done to the car. I think I'm going 3.5 when my engine goes.
