Dyno Day Caravan (Convoy)

Well the way things are looking I will have the engine in the bird by the dyno day, so I was wondering if everyone going from around Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, welll, actually anyone from missouri-to california if your driving that far. lol We can meet up anywhere really. That can be determined when we find out who all is going but we can all have a little fun on the way there and back! lol We can all meet up somewhere in Missouri friday morning and head in together. Ive never been to KY but Google Maps is trustable haha. Anyway, post it on here or PM me if interested! have fun and cant wait guys. :burnout:

I'd go...but,
A: I'm antisocial, don't do well around a lot of folks, and
B: nobody want to see a stock-HO-powered Tbird on a dyno lol, and
C: my car won't be ready/legal/nice enough to go anyway.. :hick:

The trip through Mark Twain is certainly my route of choice, yes according to google the Interstate is quicker but i know the beauty and how nice the roads are in Mark Twain.

so which direction do you guys want to go?? Im wanting to take hwy 60 all the way there. According to google its 427 miles either way i go so meeting up on the interstate wont bother me. I can go north on i44 to stl and switch to I64 east or just head dead east... So whos up for the 2 lane highway drive?

there are so many good routes to get there, and either way is less than a 1 hour difference. I love springfield so many hwys to get the heck out of dodge.

That HO powered Tbird would make way more power than my slow car. :hick: I don't plan on putting mine on the dyno either because its weak and slow. I just want to go to see some cool cars and meet some cool people. :D
