2013 Hotel Thread

Ed, did I ever send you where I was staying? For Thursday I have a reservation at HI lookout mountain and also one at HI Cleveland northwest. Shoot me a copy if you can. Thanks.

agreed......actually, this year is almost in the books, as they say......for the 2014 Tour, I was thinking.....a) '69 Camaro (partial to Camaros), convertible, 632 bb Chevy, carb'd, maybe 850 hp, lowered, or....b) '70 or '71 Cuda, 426 Hemi (well, bigger), convertible, lowered....either car an automatic (getting very tired of shifting the manual, meaning, the Hurst Shifter ball and the Hurst shifter lever might look "cool", but shifting up and down every 30 yards, particularly in the heat of the south, is a pain in the @@@, and....neither car has a/c, so, here we go, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina ).........anyway, will look at all of that come this fall.......rexx!

Rexx, I would like to see that '70 or '71 Cuda, 426 Hemi (well, bigger), convertible, lowered....

FYI for you east coast junkies leaving thurs 5/30 who want company on the drive to the Lone Star state. I am leaving north Jersey between 5 & 6 AM. Google says its 13 hours to Nashville. Spending the night at the aforementioned HIE just off I-40 about 5 to 10 minutes west of the I-65 interchange. Google says its another 10 hours to get from Nashville to Arlington

Just thought I'd remind or inform you all about the Friday traffic around Dallas............AWFUL! Some of you may recall the traffic last year as we were headed to the final stop at the stadium.............. 10 hours might stretch to 12 or 13.............I-35 from OKC to Dallas is KARAZEE

Yes, as I recall it was quite heavy while I laid under my jacked up wagon on the shoulder changing another one of those highly reliable Holley HP150 fuel pumps!

You might think this is stupid Allen, but have you considered putting an access panel in the floor of the wagon so you can do that from inside the car?? Lots more convenient, and certainly safer!

Ed no disrespect intended but I chose a simpler solution - I stopped using that perticular brand of junk!

CSTMWGN also changed a fuel pump on the side of a busy Detroit highway. Did you change to Aeromotive??

Technically, the stop along the higway going into Detroit was a "comeback" as I did not properly tighten one of the fuel line fittings when I did change the pump in the rain in a 7/11 parking lot a few miles earlier. No I have not tried an Aeromotive pump as yet - I am running the small 100GPH Carter that I had been running for years before my failed upgrade to a bigger pump.

Don't be fuelish - stay in schoolish.

While technically I am a west coast junky (both natively and currently - although those sites are ~3,000 miles apart), I looked into joining you guys for dinner on Thursday but it is about 230 miles out of my way.

Am I sensing a pattern here? I certainly hope not. All gremlins need to stay away
