    Sammmy took care of 1 and 2...

    As for time, you drive like my great, great, grandmother so it should take you about 45-60 minutes from your house to exit 418.

    As for the route, take the PGB 'til it meets 635 and follow that out of town through 121 until it hits 820 and keep going west. You'll eventually merge with 30 and 20, then look for exit 418. If you need a co-driver, let me know...

    I will show if it is just rain. If there is lighting by the time I have to leave the house I may not.

    You may find it faster to take PGBT 'till it ends at 183 and take it West to 820...

    You should plan to follow TC and assist with course setup. If leaving one hour earlier doesn't suit your needs, maybe you should stay home and watch TV.

    I think all you should be in Mineral Wells by 6:30 to help with setup.

    YMMV

    ***CANCELLED***

    This event has been cancelled once again due to poor weather conditions. Heavy rains, wind, and hail are being forecast. Next event is scheduled for April 29th.

    I'm blaming the unholy Lotus. I say we must sacrifice it to appease the weather gods before they wreak greater havoc upon us!

    Nuts. At this rate, I'll have had all of six runs in the car this season before Walnut Ridge.

    Someone tell me again why we don't run through December and January? Seems like the weather is typically better then than in February and early March.

    Right after I hooked the trailer up, I read this

    I think it is a good call.

    I just back from a family trip so I could make this event to support the fine folks at S2k. Shoot I could have taken a more leisurely drive back from Marble Falls......

    But I also agree good call!
