Mark Martin Museum stop

[Big Dave]

This is can be done. It's a 2 hr. run from Little Rock to Batesville and a 2-1/2 hr. run from Batesville to Memphis picking up the PT route on US 64 into Memphis. So if you leave Little Rock say @ 8A.M. arrive around 10:A.M. stick around till noon, have lunch you can be in Memphis by 3:30 - 4:P.M.
What say yall.....

I'd love to do this, but don't want to hit Memphis that late..........traffic and the interstate system in Memphis is terrible. I'm wondering if we could leave a little earlier and maybe not need 2 hours there? We don't know about a lunch planned there, do we ? I think there's someone on Bangshift that lives near there.............

I have no problem hitting the road early like 630 to hit the museum as they open

[dianeokie]

So has anyone been to the museum before? I'm thinking it will probably not take an hour to see..........Anyone want to check out the operating hours?

[59brook]

I can try to call tomm looks like 8-6 according to the website

We have been before. It will take about an hour, if that long.

Any good places to eat or pass through between there and Memphis?

Sorry, I can't help you. There are some ladies from this area on Facebook Hot Rod Power Tour and this forum. I'm not familar with that area, only been there one time.

Definitely watch your speed around Parkin, AR. It's on 64 going toward Memphis. Speed trap.

I may think about doing this on the run from Texarkana to little rock . maybe leave little rock around 3 hit the museum and travel a little towards Memphis as there are a few things I want to see there

Hours are 8-5 thru the week. And about the time spent n there...Im not real sure. Sum people take 30mins and some people take less. Depends if they're M Martin fans. Our whole dealership is a museum as well. We have atleadt 10 show cars. And 6 of them are n the museum with touchscreen monitors that tell about the car.(this is copied from a friend that works at MM Ford)

So, if some of you are interested in doing this Tuesday morning on the way to Memphis, let me know. If not, I'll stick with the prescribed route!

[Big Dave]

I'm in for Tuesday

Leaning toward doing this Tuesday too. Thinking blow up to Batesville and then over to Memphis just using most direct routes, the google time for doing that is less than the official route time. So still won't get to Memphis too late even if we spent an hour there.
