    I'm thinking of leaving NC either late Wed. or early Thur. just wanted to see who else is coming from the right coast. And what is your route? And if anyone just wants to ride along let me know. I have a seat available.

    I got one of those in Illinois...82 in a 65. I knew the whole state was 65, so I slowed waaay down from usuall, but was still clippin along at 82. Kind enough to give me only a warning...

    Whuups..

    Greenville SC to Bonneville, Colorado Springs CO, then on to Joplin. I am not sure where I should say I am coming from. I am sure I will see lots of people I know.

    I was gonna come out from Massachusetts, but I lost my riders and my backing for the trip. Sorry Mark, we'll have to race some other time...

    Anybody want a ride? With another rider or two, I might be able to convince my backing(wife) to let me go again.

    Sorry nope.

    Yes it was pretty cool but unless you're coming southwest from Michigan I doubt we'll run into each other this trip. Looking forward to seeing you there and hopfully racing.:cool:

    Headed out from Monticello, IL as soon as the boy gets out of school Thursday. Jesse will miss his second day of high school on Friday. Swap meet in Springfield is much more fun. Can't wait to see everyone.

    most likely leaving Thursday morning the 19th around 7am, anyone want to ride along hhit me up.
     
  23. I will be waiting to leave Thursday after work. I am lucky to even get off for the event this year!!!

    I TOOO got one of those "Time Slips" last year on the way home,,,,82 in a 55 in Thayer mo. State trooper was a drag racer,, pretty cool guy,,, thought he was gonna let me off when we started talking about his car, my car, and so on,,,,,,,,NOT!!!! There went almost a weeks paycheck!!! He did knock it down to 80 for legal reasons he said,,, I am going "time slip FREE" this year,,, or next year I may have to have someone drive me to the track to race!!!:eek:
     
  24. I'm leaving NYC for Joplin on Thursday morning when I get off from work. I'll make a few hundred miles before I have to crash (figuratively, not literally) for sleep. I'll be rolling I-70 in the 57. I'll wave to all you pedestrians in the right lane. :p Springfield swap 'round lunchtime Friday seems about right.
