    I'm getting anxious and almost ready. Put things in plastic bags that go behind the seat so if it rains, they don't get wet. Change the oil and top off the transmission.
    I'm leaving early Wednesday morning from Zuzax to Guyman OK. about 325 miles. There overnight and then to Bartlesville OK about 345 miles. I will do routine, in route posting with pictures, Pictures at the event and return trip.
    I'm driving a '31 banger powered, A Cabriolet. It has a hopped up B banger that is inserted and pressurized. It has taken me 4000 miles or so since it was assembled a year ago. I have an overdrive and can run 65 comfortably as long as there isn't a head wind....across the Oklahoma panhandle, no wind, you've got to be kidding me.
    I thought I'd post early so folks that wanted to follow along could find the thread.
    I'm looking forward to meeting up with other HAMBers there IMG_20220921_154638495.jpg IMG_20220921_154450790.jpg

    Petejoe thanks, banger trips are fun. I am running a Mallory and have a spare under the seat. Moisture free is best though

    Greg, looking forward to meeting up with you...travel safe as well
    Thanks Jeff, I'm looking forward to meeting up with you and your boys...turning into young men. I am lone wolf again this year
    Hoping that you had a great Hot Rod One Hundred run
    See you soon

    I hear you, ran all the way home in the rain last year...

    I needed someone to step up so thanks for being the one. the banger has a Geo. Riley flathead. it gets the job done so there will be time to stop and look along the way. I'm figuring 6 to 7 hours of actual driving time each day. the majority of it is two lane. I don't want to impede traffic. for the most part most drivers have lost their sense of humor IMG_20220921_154744444_HDR.jpg

    Thanks Phil I appreciate it

    Sorry that Drag Week fell apart for you I missed the excitement of that from you

    Thanks, she is a good old gal and has never been apart. She drives remarkably well for a 91 year old and I believe she has many more trips in her

    I as well Tim...see you there
