If we make it near Denver we have a free overnight in Arvada with ME's aunt or her daughter who lives near that old amusement park with the wooden roller coaster (can't think of the name of the place). And we could hook up with you.
We'll see, I guess. I PM'd you my phone number.

Hi,Originally posted by Bamfster View Post
had planned on going I-40, seemed at a glance the fastest route......Our goal is to get to Paso Robles, CA. with enough time to get to know the car and the folks who have been racing it, then bust @$$ to El-Mirage to address some tech & log book issues with the car and to just Hang out and enjoy the event. We will be in NO rush on the return trip so.........................
Any input from anyone on the fastest/ best route I-40 or Northern I-70 - I-76 ? Other ?Comment

I live about 5 miles from the Eastern end of I-40 so it would be kinda fun to drive the length of it - but that's NOT a priority on this trip. There's a DOT road sign heading out of town that says "Bakersfield, CA 2446 (or some such) Miles). Just sort of matter-of-fact.
I'm allergic to cold so warmer/more Southerly is better but we will be in a heated truck so it's really not a big deal. We'll see how it goes.

If it's warm you want, I-10 and shoot north in Cali. That brings you near PHX, and I'd love to check out this car.Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

Now Here is our Story:
I have always wanted to LSR Several years ago at a trip to speed week Celeste, ( my daughter) Garrett ,(Nephew) and I all made an agreement. I mean the spit in your hand and shake on it kind ! So...we all swore an oath, on the salt, to one another that we would attempt to be in the 200 mph club ! They both agreed that if I couldn't acheive this goal in my lifetime that they would carry on this pursuit. In the past I have started several projects in this pursuit that due to timing or lack of funds to complete got sold off or could not continue.
So...here is our chance.......... Hope to get both Garrett and Celeste in this car racing ECTA events then head to the salt when we are ready.
Looking forward to getting the car back home ...........
( Both Garrett and Celeste have raced JR DRagsters , Celeste since she was 7 yrs old Garrett since he was 10...)Attached FilesComment
