Nice! I may have gotten up to 200 degrees, but mostly below that at 80mph.

Day 4: I made it to Helen. Easy 336 mile day with a stop at Barber Motorsports Park. Only had a couple hours in the Vintage Museum which is a day short of how much time I would like to spend there. Started the day by locking the keys in the car but luckily the passenger window was cracked and Betty had a coat hanger. I love how cool my car runs in this part of the country. At least 25F cooler oil and CHT. Trip meter rolled past 914 for the second time about the time I crossed the Georgia state line. 4 day total is 1934 miles. Now to rest up for tomorrow’s fun drive. That’s it for me. I won’t bore you with details of the return trip unless something noteworthy happens.

Well,
Sara and I may not be able to make it this year after all! Still holding out hope for at least driving up for Saturday. We do have a room reserved at the Helendorf for tonight and tomorrow that cannot be cancelled. Not sure if I could transfer it to someone but thought I'd throw it out there in case one of you are looking for a room. Steve |

I can’t even begin to express my gratitude to all of you that contributed to help fund my seat in the Race of Remeberance in Wales. I was so overwhelmed and in such shock of what was going on that I’m sure i didn’t do a good job saying how humbled and grateful I am.
All of you are truly family and are the reason we do this. All we want is for everyone to have a great time,...I’m guessing we are accomplishing that? Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!!!! |

I made it to Scottsdale at 6:30PM local today. I left Abilene early and was driving thru El Paso (my planned stop) at 10:30AM so I decided to keep on truckin'. 913 miles today and a 9-day total of 4285 miles. Time for a shower, beer and bed, I'll recap the trip tomorrow.

QUOTE(michael7810 @ Sep 18 2018, 11:04 PM)  913 miles today and a 9-day total of 4285 miles. Should have driven around the block once or twice to make it 914 miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

IN CASE YOU'RE AFRAID TO DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY
2,704 miles later I'm home. Fort Worth to Okteenerfest to Atlanta to Savannah to Mobile to New Orleans to home. Was a blast. Okteenerfest was more thank I expected. A super event. Stopped into Automobile Atlanta. took the tour, and met Jeff...a great 914 guy too. Fresh Stuffed Crab in Savannah and told my son to study harder. Battleship Alabama in Mobile Fortune tellers in New Orleans (I'll be rich one day - she didn't know I had a 914) Home Unusual electrical failure leaving town fixed by Mayo Performance and no more problems. THANKS for the quick service. Ready to go again! Attached thumbnail(s)
