WOW, 401 miles from Memphis to Tulsa and that's even before DF got a hold of the map and turned it into a Scavenger Hunt, what a test of man and machine! Here's hoping that everyone makes the trip safely and without any major carnage or difficulty, also thanks to all of you for putting on a great show for the rest of us that are sitting here glued to the Internet and wishing we were there.

We made it to Tulsa around 10:30pm, they took pity on us - the route was almost entirely interstate 40.
My head is reeling from hours of open window turbo muffler droning goodness - and I've never understood the need for overdrive more than I do right now, but we've made it!
One more day and we can say we've completed our first drag week.There's always something new to learn.

From what I can tell about the route I don't think they drove this section. The flew out of Memphis and played on the Internet to get the checkpoints lol. I ran 3500-3800 rpm all the way from Memphis. I stood on i40 twice while waiting on traffic jams also lol. I did a brief stint at 4500-5000 rpm to pass some drag weekers having trouble with directions so I got us all to the last check point.
The car gets the valves lashed this morning, it sounds like a thrashing machine.1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S 340 with a 360
