My trip to Goodguys FAIL.
Last year I took a day off work drove my '71 from Arkansas to the KS Speedway for Goodguys and basically drove 3 hours in the worst storms I've seen in years. I was hoping to have one of those spiritual cruises on the open road...just not like that! While cruising the track before leaving for home my TV cable got stuck (freak thing) and I spent the rest of the evening in a parking lot making repairs. Ended up trailering her home.
![]() This year I was on the fence until this morning the beautiful weather prompted me to try again. The truck was running great and I made it about 1/2 way then BOOM, hit a small object in the road and had a massive blowout. Got her off the road and thankfully wasn't too far from the in-laws in Nevada, MO. My FIL helped me limp her home which took two spares (which I had to go scrounge), three hours and more effort than I cared to exert. So I will NOT be driving her to the show tomorrow and probably trailering her home again since my tire size is nowhere to be found. Sat on the side of the road awhile, actually wasn't too bad. I wasn't pressured to be anywhere and I had a lawnchair. Sorry for the ![]() ![]()
