I already explained the by-pass situation to Silverbullit. DBTGT found out the hard way. He's lucky there wasn't a ballgame.

I'm sure if we toast a motor prices will be high.

DBTGT was needing:

Any idea how many folks (cars, rooms, meals) we need to reserve for the overnight in Tulsa yet?

Silverbullitt: I'm guessing lunch/dinner and breakfast for meals in Tulsa.

It would be a good idea to either pm him or me with numbers for the entire run. fipikul will need this info for the St Louis stop.

I guess if we post everything here we can all see it.

All I know now is

TX
Silverbullitt +1
Spirit +1?
KOSupply +?

OK
dbtgt +?

IL
fipikul +?
neilheller +?
PMC +?

fjpikul is alone. Better half is flying with luggage the same day we leave, just at a later time. Once more, pack your swimsuits as I have a nice pool and there's nothing better than a hot, steamy night in St. Louis around a pool with some cold ones listening to the Cardinals game. People trailering can park in front of my house on the street. I'll let the police know so they watch extra careful. Anybody driving their car will have garage space available, either mine or a neighbors. I think Neilheller and PMC are too far north to join us, unless they like coming south. Let me know what anyone needs. FJP

Is she the model for the shifter boot?

Can you meet with us in St Louis? I read that there are several coming from the west. Can you find them and pull them into our group for the final run?

dbtgt is volunteering his car for free spare parts. He just installed a trans cooler and borlas. I have dibs.

Silverbullitt,
I wanted to let you know that I am in on the Road Trip from Texas. I am planning to spend the night in Dallas to meet up with everybody on the morning we are leaving. Do I need to make my own hotel reservations for the Rally or is someone in the group going to block out some rooms? Thanks in advance.

I'm either staying with my brother or getting up real early and leaving Austin. We are locked in for a short tour of Unique before we leave. I don't know much about which Dallas hotel would be gt friendly. A pm to 427aggie might help.

I meant hotels for the actual road trip. I know of a good secure hotel in Dallas. Thanks

Check my previous posts in this thread. I list several motels near my home with phone numbers. I don't know about their rates. Whatever happens, I can store 3 GT's in my garage and more in the neighbor's. Towing people can park in the street. I'll shuttle everyone to their motels as necessary. We can pick someplace to eat and finish plans that Tuesday night before leaving for Dearborn. FJP

Will be traveling in one car, with two occupants, and no luggage [due to lack of storage space that damn radio takes up].

Driveby wants to join the run. He is coming from the Chicago area. Any ideas on where he should meet up with us since we are going through Indy?
