Trying to tell some others just how big this is, just wondering how far you are willing to drive for the most awesome drags on the planet. I am lucky and only 2.5 hours away.

Just about 700 miles from Colorado Springs, but we will likely swing down into Oklahoma to meet up with my son, so add another 100-150 miles. No trailers- just a road trip.

What you think that just because you are driving from Florida you will not be driving the Fairlane? You know I need to keep the tan on my forearms even. :D

Roothawg as slow as your ride is you might need to leave Wednesday. That extra 1/2 mile from me really takes a long time to travel. Are you and Tenpenny going to have a Big Money Match Race for FAA bragging rights. Look forward to seeing EVERYONE.

My drive is about 1 7/10 miles....from beautiful, suburban Duquesne, MO.

But, it's a long 1 7/10 -- the ol Plymouth is pretty slow.

Sometimes I have to stop for a train at the crossing.....takes even
longer then. :eek:

Just to be safe, I'll toss in a couple extra ice cubes in the ol beer cooler.:D

Are you gonna take the old girl down the track this year? Unfortunately my '48 is out of commission and my '34 is not on the road yet.

Oh yeah I almost forgot to answer the question. About 15 miles from MoKan.
