I'm heading up Thursday morning, I75 to I71 to I70, hopefully leaving the driveway by 9:00am. That should put me in Chattanooga around 11:30. Anyone else on the same time-frame?



If you will be ahead of me, drop off small boxes of Y-Block parts every 100 miles or so. That way I should make it

Hey Charlie, I'm not going this year but I wish you the best trip. I've driven my bird up to Columbus before and it's a similar distance from my place to what you are about to do.

A lot of guys on here wouldn't even think about it without a trailer or a chase vehicle!

This is your year. You can do it.

Wish you were coming Alan because I won't be bringing my bird and we sure could use some street birds competing. Instead I'll be bringing my 56 Sunliner in it's place. I'm still putting my money on the street birds and and hoping there numbers will pick up. My new crank simply didn't get back in time enough for Ted to finish the engine.

For me, a trailer, or hauler just isn't an option, yet. If I want to bring it, I gotta drive it.



My most common problems have been pushrods and rocker arms. I have spare push rods and I'll have a set of rocker arms that I'll bring along. The only other things that have me slightly, unfoundedly, concerned are the ignition system and fuel pump, mostly because they're electronic/electric. I haven't had any issues with them whatsoever but if they do fail, I won't be able to get a replacement easily en-route. I am thinking about getting a higher pressure pump that I will install for the racing and cruising around up there, if I do then I can use it as a backup and I can always bring my points distributor and coil. I just don't want to bring a whole lot of stuff because it's going to be two guys, luggage, computers, cameras, and I'm picking up stuff to bring back. With the spare tire in the bed, there's not a whole lot of room to spare. But, I know if I have them, I won't need them.



My trip to see Reed and Bill earlier this year went real well. That round trip is about 2/3 one way to Columbus and my latest rocker arm issue occurred quite a few miles after that. So hopefully I will get there before something breaks!



The thing that upsets me is that it's always the new stuff breaking.

GOOD LUCK to all, suspect Ted will be passing through my area soon on his way up north.. Again Good Luck to all

Good luck, drive safely to all of you lucky people who will be traveling to Columbus this year. Sure will miss y'all! We will try to make it next year. The only thing that will stop us is money, stock market, election, and Global Warming! Have fun guys, give our best wishes to Barb and the girls. Live the Dream.
