You need to catch a ride if at all possible. I won't get to see the tour, but I will meet them in TN. Little brothers are good for some things after all.

This would be my only chance to see it, and it looks like a very limited chance.
Better luck next time I reckon.hotrod48

Thanks for the update ed. I have been watching the pickups limited, CTW, and this site. I don't know whats being said in the video, but it looks like a lot of fun. Next year for sure! This year at least meet a lot of FTE members at the show. We will call it a learning year.
See you Thursday (at some point).
A few questions (for next year). Do you drive a certain speed so that everyone can keep up (even us stockers)? What happens if someone in the parade has a break down? You are all traveling a really long ways, and I don't know how much some of these trucks are driven.
I know the trip home is cannonball, but yeah.

Brian. No trucks left behind. We experienced a problem in Kingmen AZ with our trans but after 4 hours behind the auto parts store we were back on the road. Today we stayed with a F1 from northern Calif who broke a roll ping on his distributor and meet a local gear head who opened his shop for repairs. Here's me kicking back in his living room. This has been the best trip ever. We drive the speed limit. 80 or 90.

The speedo is not broke. Give a way truck is in a trailer, it's not done yet. The engine is the truck is a 429 cammer, fuel injected.

It was nice meeting you Ed and all of the guys you introduced me too (I can remember some names, but I know I would leave some out). I took a few pictures that can been seen here. I wish I could have gotten pictures of everything, but I didn't. I had a good time talking to you guys. I hope the trip goes fine and you find some cherries.
