I'm thinking about going down. I just got the car back on the street. I've driven it around for about an hour, but I haven't taken it on any longer hauls yet. Hopefully it won't the event won't catch me at a point when I've got it taken apart for upgrades.

You are more than welcome to park your truck/trailer at my house. I live in a housing addition connected to Route 66

After some prodding from Robert (HAFROD) yesterday, I've decided to attend. My GP will not be ready so I will come in my daily. It's an 08 Sierra Regular Cab/Short Bed. It's far from stock so I won't feel like I'm tagging along in a Corolla. Robert was even nice enough to invite me to drive his El Camino. My truck has a fiberglass tonneau cover so I will plan on loading the truck down with a floor jack, tools, tow strap, jumper cables, wood, jack stands, etc. and I will follow as a support/roadside assistance vehicle. Hopefully we won't need any of it. I'm looking forward to meeting those of you who are coming and I'm looking forward to the show. O'Reilly is a good client for us. I'm a land surveyor and we do a lot of work for them here in Texas. I will likely try to meet with a few of the folks with O'Reilly that I work for while up there for a hello. It should be a good trip. I'll plan to be in Tulsa Friday afternoon/early evening if folks want to get together for dinner/a few beers.

Just so there's no confusion, we're not (yet) doing anything actually official with O'Reilly or the Street Machine Nationals.... They just happen to be the main sponsors of those shows, and that's where we're headed....

....also AWESOME, can't wait to see you here. You can be support ;) I have got to get this artwork and therefore posters and stuff done. I was supposed to have a metric f-ton of "free" time but that hasn't happened.

EDIT: Of course I'm sure you knew that and didn't mean anything to the contrary, still, just wanted to be up front about it.

Yes, I realize there is no official affiliation. I was just stating that since I will be in Springfield, where they are headquartered, I will try to have a face to face with some of these folks that I've worked for, for years but have never met in person.
