*** St. Louis to Memphis Stop ***

Attention All BangShifters!!

Please read this and make a course of action. When the Power Tour leaves STL to head to Millington, TN, you are going to encounter an exit that is closed. At some point the Tour will merge onto I57 and run that until you merge onto I55 South. You will take that until you get to Hayti, and at Mile Marker/Exit 17, you will merge onto I155, towards Dyersburg, TN.

There is one small problem- That exit was closed this past weekend. I55 goes down to two (2) lanes starting at Mile Marker 19. Therefore, there are several exits that are closed. How do I know this?! Because I just drove that route from Jefferson City on yesterday…… My advice is to go on down to Exit 14, and take Highway U over to I155. Or you could go through Caruthersville, but I don’t suggest that.

So, if anyone has any connections to Hot Rod, or any of the people running logistics, please spread the word!! Otherwise, that is going to be one cluster-f*ck trying to get to Dyersburg.

I hope this helps ya'll!!

Sweet Moses, is there a road in that state that isn't under construction, closed or flooded?

Thanks for the notice, looks like picking up US-51 in Cairo, IL and heading south on the east side of the river may be an answer.
