Departing Decatur. Yes, that's 4:55am: Anytime I have to go through Nashville, this is the only option to avoid hideous traffic delays!
Not too shabby @ 133k miles: how's this for mpg@avg speed for the 550 mile trip up?

Old friends Sarah & Bob Vodnik drove down from Oak Forest IL for a visit.
That's Bob on the left, behind the nearly completed "Shadow 5" AA fueler in
Kent Fuller's shop in Belmont CA in 1965. For more: see Old Drag Photos.
Great to see you guys again!!!

Final stats back in Decatur after stop in Bowling Green KY & quick visit to the National Corvette Museum.
This was a great start at this show. We have already discussed improvements for next year, and will most likely be doing a 50/50, drawing the winner at the awards ceremony, right before they draw the winner of the Corvette Giveaway!
