            Getting late to the party here, but Fred Fine59 said it the frickin' best.
            I'm pretty sure it'll start somewhere and end up somewhere else.

            Mel is excited about the chance of going to North Carolina.

            All I want to do is drive, see a road I've never been down before, and had a lil fun.


            Relax, and not worry too much about security...


            Find some local food joints...mmm


            {BBQ thread time, people, point me to good southern BBQ}

            ...and hopefully avoid too many traffic stops


            Meet up with fellow Bangshifter's




            and live for a bit of good things to be had

                        Texarkana ???? only one mile from HIE Crossroads though
                        Arkansas State Fair Grounds ( same as 2008)
                        Memphis Motorsports Park
                        Regions Ball Park Hoover, AL (same as 2010)
                        Chattanooga Community Technical College (same as 2010)

                            It looks like the Texarkana airport may be the venue for Sunday according to the distance from the motels.

                              hotels have raised prices for the particular tour days. 25-30/ nt. no way mid-week prices go up that much w/o reason from week to week.
