    Yes. Don't get delayed in Monroe, LA.

    Bring a pillow in case you cannot get the seat close enough to the steering wheel and pedals. They should be used to it there.

    LOL I knew this was coming. Don't forget to take a dump so you can get that extra 2/10ths back on Schaadt

    Wear Depends so that you can drive without stopping to do number 1 or 2. Kindof like that crazy NASA lady did.

    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    I went once! The aftermath of Katrina is probably not as bad as when I went...

    We were lucky enough to have an enclosed trailer and a rig capable of towing over 80mph....we hit Baton Rouge at about 9pm on the way back...lets just say we made no stops that night due to not being able to find a hotel and when we did we really didn't want to stay there. Lots of Red Bull while the other guy slept in the back seat of the Megacab.

    Aside from that the event was pretty good. If I remember right Valdosta (sp?) is the best place to stay. I believe there is a pretty good Hilton there.

    I was going to go across the top of LA and cut down in Meridian MS.

    Randy Chase is planning to drive essentially cross country in a Toniq R, pretty similar to an Atom. Nuts.
