Re: "Live" from our sea to shining sea tour 2015
The gang is finally all together! We are at Route 66 Casino in Albuqueque, NM! We all just ate a big buffet dinner and played a little and now we are all ready for a good nights rest!
Here are a few more pics in NM this afternoon in between rain showers (and downpours) The road on the right is old route 66 Lots of black mountains in the background That was the elevation! It was about 42 degrees and looked like snow piles along the edge of the road. Or it may have been piles of hail! |

Re: "Live" from our sea to shining sea tour 2015
Reading Class Racer for the first time in a while. We got to see some old friends and meet some new people on our way to catch up with the rest of the crew. We would visit most of the day and then drive until bed time.
After seeing the picture of me behind the wheel of the rig, I understand the question a little better "who drives your race car ?" Man do I look experienced. All of this reminds me of a poster I saw. The poster had a 1969 SS Camaro with stripes and a vinyl top with the caption "Did you ever wonder what your mom saw in your dad". It was a cool poster!!! Joe is having a generator issue and him and Alice are having it fixed today and will catch up with us in Holbrook Az. tonight. I was just informed by Patsy that they may catch up with earlier. Not only did they have gen set troubles but the real issue that required an immediate fix is the coffee pot died. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time. Being on the road and in the NHRA "circus" for a short time gives new meaning to just how difficult it must be for the pro sportsman drivers. Rampy, Fletcher, and the rest of the pros lead a difficult life that is not for the faint of heart. The cars fall apart in the trailer, the road is always unforgiving and dangerous. The friends, the fun, the competition , and the win lights make it worth it for me! more later Last edited by Larry Hill; 10-22-2015 at 11:00 AM. |

Re: "Live" from our sea to shining sea tour 2015
For all of you headed this way, Route 66 Casino is a good place to stay overnight. It is at Exit 140 on I-40. Just follow the signs to RV parking past the casino. Lots of parking behind the hotel. Decent food and a little fun time in the casino! Also diesel fuel is $2.35 at the station next door.
We should have more pics tonight as we are doing a little site-seeing today! More later |

Re: "Live" from our sea to shining sea tour 2015
Larry, That's a good picture of ya. Gotta put it all into perspective.
How about when you talk to old acquaintances..."YOU still race cars?" Hey, if you have time, take the old section of Rt 66 into Kingman. Az. Exit 139, just past Ash Fork . Seligman is a hoot.You'll see visitors from all over the world.
