    Okay, if that's not it, I better see you driving up in one of those Hertz Shelbys. I'll even pull some strings to get them to let you bring it out on the track. :clap:

    Susie and I head out Sunday (23rd) from Cypress, TX to Little Rock, AR (460 mi) for the night (I have a brother who lives there). We'll be in a green Dodge Durango pulling a red Maverick (honk your horn and wave at us if you see us in the ditch).

    From Little Rock to Memphis (140 mi) on Monday (24th), spending the night in Memphis (after going to Graceland, Sun studio and taking a walk down Beale Street - look for me on the BEALE STREET CAM).

    From Memphis to Nashville (210 mi) on Tuesday (25th) and Wednesday (26th) in Nashville visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame, taking the Grand Ole Opry tour, other??

    From Nashville to Owensboro, KY (135mi) on Thursday (27th), check into Hotel, head to drag strip!

    Friday morning 28th (9:00am - 11:00am), probably head down to the Car Show registration to rub elbows with the MCCI "Show Car" owners.

    Friday night at 8:00, MCCI Club meeting.

    Saturday (29th) hang out at the show (noon till 3ish), then the Banquet @ 5:00pm til ??

    Heading out Sunday (30th) to Little Rock 450 mi. Spend the night there.

    Head home on Monday (31st) 460 mi

    Back to work on Tuesday morning. Ugh.


    (and now YOU know the entire story - and, I have a quick reference of our itinerary)

    well, I will drive some of the way. Becky is going to pull the trailer on the interstate...so she can have AC. Then once we hit the backroads, she will drive the yellow mav and I will pull the trailer.

    O by the way...we will be pulling the trailer with a truck :evilsmile

    no mufflers this year! (and of course all this barring any major issues with the PINK one)

    Doc has most of the motor re-assembled :bowdown: . Waiting on a few last minute parts to arrive. Should (keeping figures crossed) have the motor back in the car by the end of this weekend.
