Road Trip from TX to Rally

[Piccola]

Hey guys! I'm obviously not going with you all, but I did read this thread & other than joking around about using one of the trailered GTs as a "parts car" I didn't see mention of anything else. The GT obviously does not have a spare tire like most cars, & in the event of a flat it may be nearly impossible to find an open performance parts shop nearby (or other such place w/a tire that fits the GT). You've probably already thought of this, but if not... a couple of extra front & rear tires put in one of the trailers would probably be a good idea.

This trip sounds like a lot of fun!!! :cheers

Indy GT, we will be coming from St. Louis on I-70 to I-69 North to I-94 East to Dearborn. Indy is about 250 miles. If we leave around 8:00, we should be there for lunch and gas around 11:30. DBTGT has the parts car on his trailer, so he will determine how fast we travel. That's the plan so far. This is Wedneaday the 9th. Any questions or suggestions, PM me. May meet Windy City boys on I-94. FJP

Trailers are restricted to 55 mph through Illinois :frown I don't mind cheating some but I prefer to find a semi or two who are hoofing it to follow behind so as not to be so conspicuous. Maybe I will just have to catch up to you all at lunch in Indy.

I do have an extra front and rear I could bring.

 

[dbtgt]

I hope they are tires! :rofl

I'm packing 6 extra shifter boots. In case . . . you know they wear out from hard shifting.

 

[fjpikul]

Bullitt, I bought six extra cans of the inside tire goo, maybe we can do more than we think when we combine the two.

Thanks DBK from above post. I'll pm the ones I missed this week. I have tried to reply to your post above, but the site locks up every time I hit the reply button. Doh!!!

I've had that same problem before as well. I can't tell if the problem is on my end or the forum's end. :confused

I guess there is some funny character in DBK's post that when I try to quote the system doesn't like it. I quoted and replied on another thread with no problems yesterday.

Sorry about that. Usually it's caused by internet explorer. I use Firefox and it never happens. Once the Rally is over and I can have a full day to prepare, I will upgrade to the latest version of the forum software. I just haven't had a chance to make backups etc, in case anything goes awry, and there's so much stuff on here now I don't want to risk it...

I have the same problem on occassion. If you walk away for a while, eventually (could be several minutes) it seems to finish the post.

Prowler,
I am 2 hrs southwest of Austin; so that's 3hrs from you.
I get to Austin once in a while in the GT.
It becomes an all day thing.
Possibly next time Silverbullit has a get together in Austin we will be able to meet.
In the meantime, if you are heading south towards Fredricksbugs, Luchenbach, or Boerne, let me know and we can meet up.

Just had a friend return from a drive to Columbus, OH. I-70 through ILL and most of Indiana is fine. Some construction near Indy, but who knows what it will be like in 2 weeks. Hope you guys are as pumped as I am.
