Winterfest 2009

[Reichy]

Salina to Macon is 5 hours. I might need to borrow Nikis dads truck to make the long haul.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

It is only 5 hours 15 minutes from Macon to Attica, so it is the same amount of time for ya. It is safer to haul that far in a group anyhow (and I hope to draft ya to save gas!)

 

[Reichy]

You wont be able to keep up if I borrow her dads truck...

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

easy there hot rod , it is only 55mph across IL with a trailer on

 

[Reichy]

Are you kidding me? Wow thats going to be a lame drive.

 

[ChiXJeff]

Yup. It's a long drive. And the IL law enforcement community has very little sense of humor.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Jeff is correct on this. We ran 60 tops going across IL for WF08 and man was I ever happy to see the state line when we got across it! From my experience of pulling trailers across IL is that if you get in with a pack of tractor trailers you can keep pace with them and be alright, BUT, that is up to you if you want to gamble on it. I personally am in no hurry for a 10 hour drive, hell, whats another 30-45 minutes on the overall trip. Remeber if you convoy out with us "old guys" we stop for pee breaks more often then you youngens (note the sarcasm based upon you thinking I was an old guy in KS!)

hopefully you will need all that trailer. I wanna see gene's new rig in action. I will probably be in your convoy because i am going even if i don't wheel my junk. If i can keep up with Gene. maybe he won't run 70 the whole way with 2 jeeps in tow

[85xjwoody]

The wife and I will be planning on attending. The 85 still won't be ready as it is still awaiting some more parts. The 96 will be ready though. Gonna be interesting finally going on the hard trail runs for the weekend.:yelclap: I see a shaft or two needing to be replaced after a quarry run
