I'm jealous, keep the updates coming, but do NOT interfere with your vacation plans...

Re: 58 TRUK intro
I wish the tour would drive thru OKC instead of around it. I would have loved to watched that come by while I was at work.

Re: 58 TRUK intro
Dang, no comments on truk cruising@ 95?
haven't posted power tour updates lately. Truk made the power tour without incident. Heading out of texarkana on the way home the speedo started jumping, I tried to lub it from the top. That worked for a while but had to stop at shop to pull it from the bottom and grease it. Not bad for a 1600 mile cruise Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 58 TRUK intro
I thought everbody on the power tour drove that fast...glad to hear it went well. I heard it starts in Dallas next year and I should have the bugs worked out by then. Maybe I won't miss out on the next one. I bet you have a ton of pics!

Re: 58 TRUK intro
Maybe this will will get some comments...
![]() Not only is the speedo pegged, but the odometer is at 8111. That makes for 2136 miles as of 8pm last night. I got behind this crazy canuck in a 66 Chevy. We did a 100 plus for an hour and a half in light traffic. Everyone else seemed to be going 90 anyways. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 58 TRUK intro
Actually most of the power tour is on secondary roads.
Most cruise at 5 over out side of towns and at the limit in towns. You always have the new mustang and vette guys that pass you, But I don't like to cruise with those guys anyway Posted via Mobile Device
