The route

[Brian Lohnes]

I do not know the actual route and I know you guys won't want to add any extra wear and tear to yourselves or your cars...BUT...you'll only add 80 miles to the trip if you swing up to check out George Ray's Wildcat Drag Strip on the way from Memphis to Tulsa. George Ray's is by far the coolest drag strip on planet Earth. Could be a once in a lifetime shot for some to see it in person.

Just being the devil on your shoulder.

Got me.......We will be going straight from Memphis to Tulsa........Heck, it is less of a run than Amarillo to Tulsa last year.....

did y'all go down 40 ? There are some serious cow patty roads in that part of the world. I'm trying to figure out Tulsa to Ennis, there's some jacked up roads here too. I think they are all paved, though.

40??? lol ya right.we got i 40 for about 10-20 miles i think.being our first year last year,there were a couple times that me and my brother both just cracked up.just wonderin how long it took em to find those screwed up routes.lol

[lun40119]

yeah we were on I40 for a while......IIRC about 85 miles. I don't think my tach ever went below 4200rpm. We was truckin!!!

Say Hi to Doc, and I 40.......


Pretty sure this is I40 too......from Randal's perspective.

there are parts of East Texas where the directions include "Turn right at the big rock out by Hackernanny's old place..." and are not in GPS because the pine trees nuke the signal. I'm actually concerned about the path to Shreveport... Gun Barrel City... errr. lol.

[BlueCuda340]

I'm not worried about texas, its the trip accross Arkansas off I-40 that concerns me lol.

IIRC some of the nav devices have warnings for bad or poorly maintained roads. These adivisories are the guides for Michelle or whomever else gets the pleasure of doing the pre-run to create the driving instructions.

Ha! I'm the guy sweating the track, the roads are cake, I'll have 1,200 miles between Fri and Sat on the car before the week begins! It'll be interesting if the longest trip get's longer by 80 miles and hot rod has Wildcat's drag strip as a stop.

[Brian Lohnes]

I have no direct knowledge of the route, but it sure would seem like an interesting check point!

[racefast]

if that is a stop i hope they are open that way we can make some hits

[CDMBill]

That would be cool, trailers and all.

Id bet they have us hop back and forth from I-40 to Hwys 70 and 67.They did something similar in 2010.
