can you go as fast as the Bandit did? lol

 

If I lived in TX I would probably sign up.

 

Wow wish i would have known about this sooner, i have always wanted to take the same trip the Bandit did in my T/A.

The wife and I are going.

 

That looks like fun.

 

Why is it that most all runs go thru the mid-south to the East; hardly ever hear of a run to the West?

 

I am surprised there isn't more hype about this than there is.

I registered for this, and hope I can make it.

 

I wish I lived closer, I think it would be awesome. Jerry Reed or Burt Reynolds gonna lead the way?

 

If you can get out of your snow filled driveway.

 

No kidding...getting socked again today!

 

Burt may be at the Year One Experience that takes place at the end of the Run. Can you imagine the fuel stops? 200 cars tanking up in one place?

 

I am thinking about doing it. It sounds like a blast, esp. with the shows and stops along the way.

 

I'm driving up to Texarkana from Austin to see 'em off. I won't be able to make the whole trip. I'm hoping they'll do it more often, I'd love to make the whole trip!

 

It starts in less than 2 hours......and I am missing it!

Good luck to all the runners, and hope you have a blast!

I ran up to Tupelo MS (about an hour from where I live in Starkville) for a couple of hours to see the cars at the auto museum. I have to say there were some nice cars there! The resto mod was just Awsome. 18" snow flakes custom interior the works. Probly the best part was when a 77 or 78 gold TA started doing donuts. And do I mean DONUTS. Round and round about a dozen times. An 02 bird wasn't going to be out done though. I have seen lots of differant cars do donuts but that 02 took the cake. It was almost violent. If I had known about it sooner i would have entered the run. What little I saw was great!

I heard about the donuts...I hope there is a video somewhere.

How many cars would you estimate were there?

-Rich

 

If I had to guess I would say about 65-70 cars. Even a nice correct looking General Lee was there. About 10 Bandits, 1- 74' Super duty , 3- Third Gens (including a 89 Turbo) all kinds of 4th Gens but disappointingy no 1st gens except one 69 Z28

 

Wow, that's an impressive number of cars! I've been looking at the pics on the Bandit Run website, and the videos on YouTube......I am kicking myself for missing it!!

 

Here's some pics of the Year one car in Tupelo
