    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.

    We kinda make a mini vacation around the drags. Head up north and spend some time with my brother and his family.

    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

    Coming from Mustang, Ok Firday night going to Tulsa for the SDRA race 2 hours and fiveteen min. Then 3 1/2 hours from Tulsa After the race Friday night.

    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.

While he goes to the races, I stay here trying to decide which car I am gonna take to one of the local car shows, that is if he doesn't take his Pontiac, if he does, NO PROBLEM!!! If not you'll find me in our drive flippin a coin.
