anyone driving up Thursday?
I am really looking forward to this. I plan to be there some time around noon on Friday, learn the ropes a little, and then ready to run on Saturday.
It helps to drop off tire trailers and stuff on Friday since the track is open. It will likely be dark still when you arrive on Saturday morning, so it's nice to get the lay of the land.Quote:

I'm going this year. Registered and have the room booked. Between now and then just need brake pads and fluid flushed, new tires and wider wheels, sway bars and struts and better seats. Got two weeks, no pressure. And for moral support I'm bringing Robyn.
Mine was attached to my registration email. Added here.Quote:

I ended up at smiley's for a 2015 helmet.
Hope to see you all there!
For anyone heading up on Thursday, Leilane and I plan to have lunch at Two Frogs in Ardmore, OK at noon. Feel free to meet us there if you want to caravan at all.
Since we will be trailering, we will be taking the I-35/I-44 route to the hotel rather than the more enjoyable back roads. You can either stick with us all the way or break off on to the back roads when we stop at the fried pie place near Turner Falls.
I'll look for you. I'll be hauling up with a white Expedition and the Red beast.
I'd like to drive up with the group, Rogue. Where in Denton, and what time?Quote:

Route 66 is called the "Mother Road". That name comes from John Steinbeck's book, The Grapes of Wrath. Route 66 stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago, IL to Los Angelos, CA. It was mostly replaced by the Interstate highway system and was officially decommissioned in 1985. There are only bits and pieces of it left.

Sharpie just jipped me some Ugly Pie at the Midpoint of Route 66! :gaah:
Yep. I've also driven almost all of it in different portions. If anything, its made a resurgence in popularity among the nostalgia crowd.Quote:
