My guess another couple of weeks. Seems they come out 2 - 3 weeks before the start.

Sorry, no rice fields in Missouri :

Ah yes, there are. When I was living in Cape Girardeau I saw plenty in the boot heel area. There is some low lying land down there and they build berms and flood it.

Oh and if you want a real "terrifying thought" Just type in bangshift.com in your favorite internet browser, but leave out the letter "F." That's a bad typo.

I saw Catfish farms last year, Tobacco fields, and also corn......I don't care where PT goes, it's the cars and the people and mostly these people on this forum!! Looking forward to seeing everyone in June!

Bob will you redo the directions again this year?

Driving is what I enjoyed last year. For me, it was the 9 year anniversary of pulling my GTS out of a barn from a 17 year nap...

My paint was like 10 days old.
I enjoyed the drive, because I am used to rural 2 lanes here in Nebraska.
To me, Kentucky and Tennessee were a riot with the roads an twists and drops.
I almost with I had time to run some mountain road I saw on Speed, think it was the Dragon's back or something like that.

I'm seeing some of these drives are looking to be brutal, but I am just excited as hell.
This is my therapy for a very rough last year...the idea of just rolling on a 2 lane, and soaking up the miles.

I'll leave hanging out in a chair under a tree for someone else.

And, besides...I want to race those sonafabeeyotches again from year one. Leaving the Duquoin fair ground, I owe Kevin King a rematch.

You know: If you click the following it's gotta be pretty darn close to the official route as it avoids interstates and there aren't much better options.

Remember this is the fastest calculated route avoiding interstates. Check the bar on the right and you'll see the estimated time to each stop. There are two trips that approach 7+ hours and that's BEFORE you add in your time for gas stops, lunch, peeing on the side of the road etc...

EliteMan,
It's called the "Tail of the Dragon". The LS1-GTO crowd hits it a couple of times a year.

The road you're talking about is "Tail of the Dragon" in Deal's Gap, NC. It has 318 curves in 11 miles. Google it for more info.

Might have to see about that deal, as I am going out in September to Pigeon Forge for a large show.
