Butch, if you would, please forward my portion to the chaplan of Steel Soldiers. Because of this group, I have made many friends, and have done things that I am sure I would have never done in this life. I would like to do it again next year, minus the fuel issues.

So 48 won. Must have been all the good karma I was feeling, plus I had Murphy riding with me all day long. I fought fuel supply issues all day long. Truck ran great until the point that I needed it the most. Then she fought me all the way home, till she finally died in my driveway, and I...

We are holed up at the Railroad museum. Plan is to wake at 0500, leave at 0600. Can't wait......

I have fancy ones from when I went to Bristol.......

Uh oh. If I tell my wife about campfires and marshmallows, We may be showing up tonight...... SHe like SMORES.

Uh, I just had a thought......How dressed up are we going with the trucks? I was just gonna come as normal, with just my convoy sign, and my blue Convoy commander flag. My wife says I need at least one american flag. I really can't display it properly, on the right front bumper. What kind of...

My guess would be a HMMMV or a late model LMTV/FMTV Better have a chain or towbar ready- those things break down like the wind changes direction..........

I will take 2 fuel cans........

Game plan for the M814, AKA the "Long Easy" Saturday, 1800 hours. Leave AO "Aiken" for FOB "South Carolina Railroad Museum" Overnight at museum( only 75 miles from Charlotte Motor Speedway). Depart Museum for patrol mission at 0600, arrive meet point at 0800. Depart CMS at 1900 hours...

Make sure you bring some beers...... It is quite a story.:tigger:

Okay, I watched the video. Got it. Can't wait.

I would think that the Mule would be okay from staging to the racetrack, and back. You might want to carry a helmet, just in case a leo does enforce the helmet law. It is a shame we don't have a wrecker with us- we could just sling the mule into the back of a deuce or five ton.......

Butch, The video times out on my Mac.

I think I found the staging area. Checked Google maps, and found the cleared off area, across from the Honda dealership.

Butch, Can you send us a map to the staging area? The trip into the racetrack will be easy, just as long as the one in front knows where they are going, the rest can follow like elephants. I am still trying to decide whether to show up Saturday afternoon, or early on Sunday. I would bet that...

Sounds great. Are the porta potties for Hendrix, or the inside the track?

I am glad that carolina mall is out. It would be tough to have to pass the racetrack just to stage. The auto mall sounds like a great place to pre stage the trucks. I am guessing we won't find out which tunnel we are using until the meeting in May?

Okay, I am in. I have a S250 shelter in a M105 trailer that will sleep two, and is self contained. Looks pretty good behind the M814.

I would be there with the M814, but I am concerned about the dripping oil part. While it is not a big drip, I have some off the diffs, like a drip every two days when I use the truck. The front boots also drip, about the same rate. Can we put paper down? The M814 is also not "pretty" It...
