[Baron Von Crowder]

About 58.5 MPH.

actually Im not sure that you are too far off.

James, It would depend on your group from what I understand.

There's a chance I will be able to do it this year, but not making any promises. The car ought to be done, registered, and driving by then. I like the sound of the Little Rock and back.

[STROKD]

Im trying to talk my dad into going. If so we are either taking his Road Runner fresh from paint, OR my C6. He wants to take his Mustang and I told him to stop being dilusional. It barely runs and gets like 7 mpg.

You guys are making me rethink this gig.

I was just thinking about this earlier this morning. Probably HRPT most likely won't be headed back through DFW for another ten years. I'm really hoping I can make some of the trip. Might break off in Memphis and head up to see family in Middle Tennessee though.

Here's a map of the most likely route I found on another site..

Come on we had a good time last year! Dad just picked up a 2013 GT we are debating on taking it over the super bee.

Tough choice considering the comfort in the '13 but I'd have still have to buzz the bee!

[SMEGMA STENCH]

I'll be there. Next time.

[Chas_svo]

I want to, but the 65 F100 sucks gas and no AC, and I'm not sure the SVO will be one. Always have the '13.

It was fun last year.

I did my turn. It's gotta be somebody else's turn to drive the WMD. It needed mo' power?

Looks like Keith is out this year anyway. Darn jobs!

I'm thinking about ditching the 3.73's for a 3.23 and I wouldn't feel bad about cruising that long at 65-70mph, but if the pace is 80 it would be too much.

i also need to grab a set of 28" real street tires (got an extra set of pro-stars now.
