I see they are coming through OKC. I would like to go see the cars that are on the tour. Any insight on what day and time they will be in OKC? According to the schedule they are stopping at Ted Davis Enterprises in OKC.

He told me five times today that you were here - and that you were over at the Auto Cross event!! I kept waiting for you to come and park in the "special area".

It's NOT going to rain every day like it did last year - so we have that going for us!

No tickets.... no big issues... the ones that some have had have been handled. We have two, two car trailers - 55 gallons of Premium gas - tons of tools and even more knowledge. Most of the cars are seasoned veterans of long distance and as such are well maintained.

The trip has been very fun -- extremely well organized -- and has run like clockwork! My kudos to Good Guys.... and to Ed Capon (driving the giveaway roadster) and his lovely bride Maggi!

Glad you came over Chad!! It's always good to meet everyone. It's really never about the cars or the drives --- it's about all the great people we meet.

I was thinking I wouldn't bother with SEMA this year... and then got to thinking about all the people I see only there... and booked a room. LOL

Flew home last night. The gang at Holley headquarters were nice enough to store Hellfire and Greg's car until a truck can pick them up. Put 1872 miles on Hellfire and it ran like a top. What a great event. They limit the tour to 50 cars and it seems just right. I think we had 41 cars. It is a small enough group that we can stop and see some very cool shops and collections. Seeing a gazillion cams being made at Comp Cams, seeing 2 gazillion carbs being made at Holley, seeing George Poteet's farm with rows of cars. I could go on and on. Ed Capen was our fearless leader and he just flat out has things squared away. Wherever we go next year I am in.:cheers:

I FINALLY got home --- so now will post some pics. To echo what Charlie said.... the tour was excellent - went without a single hitch - the planning and instructions that we got (in the form of a book) with addresses - routes - contact numbers etc. Very professional! I'll be on next years for sure.



Not in order ---- just random shots from places we visited.

To me - this was the most impressive of them all - because of the HISTORY the owner has.



These bricks and windows -- came from his Grandfathers business!!

On another wall he had the SIGN that was from his Grandfather on his other side (you know - like one is his fathers father and the other his Mothers father)





COMP CAMS was an amazing shop tour!!

You missed a good one Mike! The weather was absolutely perfect! The tours were fun... some of the group you know from last year, all good people.

Bowling Green was a great venue for a car show --- auto cross track and Drag racing going on right there! A few hundred foot walk and you could watch one or the other. The big drag cars would stop your conversation... 4 seconds later and you could resume. LOL

You'd love doing these things Lenie! The car can take a bit of a hit... but you get over it. Charlie got a couple nasty little rocks in the CF nose piece... and me with no fenders - the rocks tend to be flung against the hood sides.... Paint can be touched up is our new motto. LOL:BlahBlah: :bang:

Next years is Mundelein, IL (RS) - to Texas Motor Speedway... and some of the stops I've heard about are the shops in your dreams!

Funny -- the first day started off with Ken *KWhiz* getting a flat... and Courtney's (Mustang and Fords Magazine writer) fuel pump overheating and shutting down... *a trunk packed with bags of ice did the trick*, and Gil Losi's transmission TV cable clip breaking... The sweep trailers picked them up - repaired the stuff and from then on everyone was on their own 4 wheels.

For me - there's nothing better than USING the cars.

There was and is. The GG's street machine of the year came last year, and Harolds '33 the year before, basically every time i turned around they were at the pumps. And the sweep vehicles were there too (wish they were there on my ride home when i broke in the middle of nowhere west texas with no cell and 9 miles from the nearsest gas station on a sunday none-the-less)....

But it is the time/ride of your life.
My first year, '13, i had just finished up the LS swap a few nites earlier and my power steering pump went bye-bye, my check engine light came on, i could only get 6-7 gallons into a 22 gallon tank, devoloped a shimmy, and the hood kept coming unlatchted, ALL within the first 30 miles!!!!!, Point is, everything was minor cept the hood, and almost everybody checked on me in the hotel parking lot to see if i needed a hand (turned out to be old/original broken welds and a loose bolt.) Tighten it up and went for it....while i didnt like the problems i had, ifigured its just a tow away and the ride was mostly straight and i'd moniter the gas usage. Had one of the best times of my life. Same with last years, rained everyday but it was still a GREAT time...cept the ride home, unforgetable being the point....

Only health problems or family problems will keep me from doing this again.

You on live once people, go for the ride of a life and see, smell, and experience this great country of ours, from the view of your favorite chariot!!!

Oh and by the way, that is the ultimate street car!!! Ones we use and abuse.....

I am glad everyone had a great time, I am with Charlie on the roadster vs Camaro, I drove the Goodguys Giveaway Roadster this year and had the top off for three days. I should now have my Roadster pin from Goodguy Gary but a Camaro with a top and AC is my choice.

You must be able to drive, fill up with gas, drive, stop, drive again. Oh, do you have a drivers license? you'll need that too. Haha.

Anyways, not too much. Overnite bags, just a tour. Just about everybody fuels up the nite before and wipes the car down when we get to our last stop. They have it pretty well run, almost no snafues. How far are you from the Roadster shop? Also, they wont have the final schedule till just before everybody leaves...

And Greg and Mike!!!!

72 and older is about the only requirement. Goodguys takes care of Hotels, all stops at shops and car collections and most meals. You don't event have to think about stuff, just get in and drive and have fun.

I am planning on taking my 2nd gen Camaro so bring you're car and have fun with the group. I am sure we can get Mike to ride with you if you get lonely! lol

If you have a choice between this tour or Power Tour go on this one. Small enough group that we can do all the shop tours etc. Next year needs to come sooner..

1. I can drive
2. I can fill my tank
3. I like to drive
4. I don't mind stopping to look at cool cars.
5. I currently have a Drivers Licenses (can't promise the same next year)
6. I have a few overnight bags.
7. My car is has a matt finish so I will bring a leaf blower to dry it off.


Roadster shop is about 45 minutes from me and Rad Rides is 65 minutes in the other direction.

Charlie huh I think I can do that he seems like a nice guy.

Now I just have to tell the wife I am once again going on vacation without her.
