10 hour drive to columbus.

15 hour drive to Carlisle.

Both places require me to drive through the city with the worst traffic, drivers, tolls, and roads(Chicago). I dislike that entire State (FIB).

It takes me about 12hrs from Kansas and probably 17 or so to Carlsile. The only good thing is either place, my dad lives in Indy so I can stop and take a knap.

Don't forget dodging the golf carts too!!!

Been to both too.Carlisle gets to be boreing and unless they improved things it gets to be a big mess after a good rain.
I'll be at the nationals again! Been going since 1986.

I think this makes my first post in a year...Hi Dave, Eric, Bruce et al. Stop in the "T" bldg and check out our new project "SRT-71/Serpent". Pam and I have been working on it all Winter. Look forward to seeing you guys there. I know..it's not a bird, but we do have a special Plymouth in the works.

A year? You need to post more often Gary!

Not sure if I'm going to make it to Carlisle or not, but if I DO, I hope to meet y'all FINALLY!

Hey Gary
Looking forward to seeing it in person! For those of you who don't know, Gary is the one who built the 71 GTX convertible last year as well at the 71 Superbird and 71 Daytona wing cars!
