PS-Who is bringing tow vehicles w/trailers? One person comes to mind in this thread, any others??!

Signed, always paranoid
you will be fine.. I've long hauled a couple years rollin' with my friends 93 lightning. its got 700+ HP to the wheels and only lasts 100 miles before it has to fill up with gas and/or overheats and/or something breaks. He keeps a jack, full tools, fluids, and some parts in the bed of the truck... lol! People do stop to check and see if there is a problem and you need help. My car also has 108K on it and am not worried about it if the worst does happen there will be people there to help. If not stand on the side of the road and wave your hands other people on the tour will stop to help for sure!

Twotonefreak, we are leaving from Tulsa at 630am Friday and going via Joplin and meeting up with some folks from Arkansas at the Cracker Barrel in Joplin, somewhere around 8-830am.

If u are heading up I44 that way, stop by and join up with us. We will then take US71 up thru MO and catch I-35 past KC MO.

Finally made it to Altoona, IA just after midnight. Swapped my rear springs in Missouri, then drove through a few tornadoes and hail to get here.

Where were the tornados and hail? We BARELY made it past a storm in Cameron Missouri. Got a few small hail strikes but nothing that did damage. We went through as it was building thankfully!

You swapped out your rear springs on the road going to HRPT?
