travel plans and see what if any or even create a plan -B ? As many of you know when I travel these highway's I alway incure some sort of mechanical breakdown from flat tire all the way down the list to alternator failures.It's not because I never maintain my tow vehicles it's just become the norm for Karen and I. I once told a local race track promoter,"if I haven't had a breakdown I just haven't gone far enough from home yet".

Mike was already loaded and would be waiting for me on an access road on I-85 just outside the High Point city limits....Yea I'll be coming along about noonish if I have problems I call you and let you know where I am.As I was making my way north the rains seemed to be getting harder and the skies even darker than I liked.This isn't what I wanted to drive in.Pulling a open gooseneck 33 foot trailer with four car atop was going to be a nightmare trying to get it stopped with all the weight aboard.

As the miles clicked off our racing convoy finally made the speedway grounds.After a few handshakes and how's it going? we parked our rigs and talked to HSG members about how this weather should blow out of here overnite.So both Mike and I took our time unloading our race cars and getting them secured in the parking lots for these types of cars.If you've never attended a HSG show you really need to add it to your "BUCKET LIST".Best orgainized car show I ever attended.There are several paved parking lots to hold all the additional show cars that will be comming in as early as satuarday morning.He's were a tip-o the-hat to the folks of Bull City Street Rodders comes in,awsome job gang.For overflow parking the group decided to secure a drier grassy area to park additional cars if needed.Always prepairing for the un-expected the HSG are why they are so good at what they provide as HOST's of size event.
