  • So What's the latest from Topeka!

    So has anybody been arrested yet or caught in a raid? How many went to the TNT tonight, any ET's from the TNT?

      TNT is tomorrow from 8-2.

      I got here about 7 pm. Checked into hotel and locked my key in my truck. Called a lock smith out of the phone book and 2 dudes show up in a clapped out CRX with a vtech swap (one opened the hood and farted with the engine).... pops the lock, but man, I was expecting a guy in a truck with a company name on the door.... I made sure I took their picture. haha

      Durango didn't miss a beat and got upwards of 14 mpg dragging this circus across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.... until I encountered a headwind, then it dropped to 10-11.


      Met squirrel, his copilot Dan and The Silver Buick. Ate some dinner then hung out with them and a bunch of other guys in a hotel parking lot. Got to ride in squirrel's 55.... what a freaking work of art that car is. Very very nice!

      That's about it for me so far.

        Looks like that Durango has all the tounge weight it can handle. You must get a lot of people clicking their high beams at you at night.

              11.80@113 and 11.83@113 at the TnT today .... HPT hooks pretty good but 1/2 track is kinda loose. The Chevelle likes the thick air "down here"....
