Looking forward to it.

 

First time,- can't wait. The roadster is ready go.

 

There’s a possibility I might be able to make it...! LoL!

 

Translation: I will try not to break The Nomad before then.

 

So today my friend here in Brisbane bailed out of the trip. I have a few other irons in the fire for someone to accompany me but otherwise it might be me solo. The car is on the ship now so no backing out. Would like to have someone riding shotgun so I don't forget which side of the road to drive on.
Anyone interested in a two week road trip from LA to Dewey onto St Louis and then Detroit. Includes an invitation to see Kurt McCormick's collection in Imperial MO.

 

Heck yeah I’m interested however life will not allow me to right now!

 

So major changes here. The shipping company had scheduled the container to arrive in NZ from Brisbane. That ship then went onto China. Another ship comes in from Melbourne and USA bound stuff is unloaded from the first ship onto this one. All good so far!! However the shipping company failed to get it loaded onto the ship due on the same day that was going to land in Long Beach on 4/21. I was doing the tracking and on last Thursday afternoon I noticed a change that said it was now arriving on 4/28. WTF!! To compound this misery we had an extended long weekend with Easter break so NO contact with anyone. I am still not sure if the shippers would have found this if I had not been diligently checking the progress of the container. So this could have been really bad.

We have been working frantically to get things organised. I also discovered that the ship stops in Oakland 3 days before Long Beach so now the plan is that it will be unloaded there and unpacked and inspected by Customs if necessary. Hopefully that can be done quickly and efficiently and I might have the car later on Monday 4/30 or early Tuesday 5/1. Usually customs are bit easier in Oakland than Long Beach or so they say.

So I arrive in Oakland(luckily I hadn't booked any flights) on Sunday 29th ready for action on Monday 30th.
Then it looks like it will be a full on drive mainly on the interstates,down I-5,across to 395 at Bakersfield and then across to I-40. If I can get a few hours in on Monday that would be great and then I can get to Stray Kat 500 hopefully late Thursday if the gods are with me. From there normal scheduling will resume.

Now since my travelling companion dropped out(I will try once more tonight) I would love to find someone who wants to come from Oakland area or somewhere along the route I will be taking to attend the SK500. I am paying all fuel and accommodation but it is a share room basis( 2 beds so you are safe).

 

You have luck just like mine! Sure hope it changes for you. See you in Dewey!

 

Ok, who’s all coming/going to visit Fabulous Dewey Oklahoma for the Stray Kat 500 next month??

Car's all loaded, gased, oiled, aired, Rainxed, we'll be leaving at 6:30AM. Sounds like we'll be in stormy weather all the way through Kansas. I can handle rain and wind, don't need any hail!! If all goes right we'll be in Bartlesville tomorrow nite, if we have to wait out a Tornado, ----- See ya Thursday, as Mick would say, " Happy Trails" Wishing everybody a safe trip!

 

You all have more fun than is legal. I'm sad that I won't be there, but Clarence is still torn apart. I'm shooting for next year, though.

 

See you there on Saturday!
