Linda and I are cruising up to Arlington this Friday for the start of the Hot Rod Power Tour. We'll be hooking up with the LeCrones (Blu SS 98) once we get there. Tim and I were talking tonite and wondering who else is going to be showing up. Millie, what are your plans?

Sorry Tim. I caught that after I posted and edited it. I must be a little dyslexic because of the fatigue. Four days of thrashing to get the 'Vert ready for this trip.

Everything smells like Z5 to me. Is that a problem?

I'm only going to be able to go as far as Springfield, then I have to turn back [Frown] . We have to get ready for an Alaskan Cruise with my in-laws (the whole clan) the following week. Different kind of cruise but it should be fun, plus it's free since my father-in-law is paying for it. [Smile]

I'm leaving Amarillo at 11:00. Waiting on a young man from the Kansas F-Body Club who will be cruising to Arlington also. Should arrive about 6:00 at the Best Western near the Ball Park.

I'm going as far as St. Louis, then turning east for the Skyline Drive cruise.
