Yep, you are so correct! 3,000 miles in 9 days. Thanks, I didn't even have a glass of wine to blame my mistake on.

The part that has me puzzled is " no drivers needed ". Are the guys riding in self directional vehicles ? New computer software has to be a blast. Please wear helmets and belts.

Guys, connectivity is shaky, so be patient. We are hitting KC this morning for registration with two well running cars. Updates will be coming along. Great weather, good interstate roads cruising at 70mph. Dennis

Here is a tid bit. We are at Kansas City. Since leaving we have covered over 1000 miles. Got over the tech issues with Toms car, now running very well. I'm having issues downloading pics from my iPhone for posting. Getting tech help tonight. For those of you that may not know the scope of this, it can only be described as the "largest rolling car show in the world" period! If you can dream the vehicle configuration, color, vintage, style, condition etc, it's here, no if ands or buts. Dennis

For those who asked, the car is not fully done road worthy.......well except for a brand new coil failure. But anyway I'll take and post a few pics after I clean the 40,000 bugs off.
Thanks for asking!

Well my wife and I made it out to Kansas City and the 1st day of the tour. Got word this morning my son was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident. He is ok but in the hospital. We are headed back home to help him when he gets out of the hospital so we will not make the rest of the tour. Have fun Dennis and any others making the run!

Finally got the pics downloaded.
!st, we are causing somewhere in Ohio, great roads.
2nd, dealimg with the electronic mystery in Vandailia Ill. A local guy, with good automotive knowledge spent the day with us figuring it out, chasing parts etc. We could not have been more lucky to have someone like him stop and help. Army Vet.
3rd, Registration at Kansas City. This event is an over the top well oiled machine in all aspects. You really need to do thisone time. I'm am amazed!
4th, Bugs on nose of the car. You want bugs, drive late into the evening. Enough to supply a bait and tackle shop.
5th, general overview of so many cars. More than I could possibly take pics of.
6th, C-2 waiting for GM Motor Medics to check rear suspension for unwanted movement.
7th, My car at GM Motor Medics for welding of cracked alternator bracket. I removed it, they welded it. This was a minor issue since I already drove 282 miles with it broken.
8th, Beautiful '60 with LS power, Art Morrison chassis out of Detroit. Yes, he drove it all the way.
9th, Oil change here in the hotel parking lot on a BB Chevelle
10th, This is the GM sponsored Motor Medics crew truck. The can do it all, especially if you have the part. ZERO cost to everyone!
The event so far has been one of the most incredible automotive events I have ever been a part of. We have had great weather, although hot and windy today, its still a sight to see all the cars. The stories that are being told are worthy of publication in some magazine. A frelance magazine photographer want to do a photo shoot on my car as we drive to Davenport tomorrow for possible future publication...we'll see!
If things continue to work well for down loads, more will be! Dennis
I do not know why some posted sideways or upside down...sorry!

We are headed to the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, Davenport, Iowa today. It's a short ride of 166 miles. Each day the tour picks up new drivers and others drop out. Those of us who are Long Haulers must punch a time clock at each venue to qualify for the award presentation at the end in Bowling Green KY. I'm rollin'!
