I have been known to make stupid Challenge trips so I figured I'd show what I'd doing Friday. Lil Stampie gets dropped off at 7:30 then I'll start. I'm picking up two items for me and dropping off something for surfshibby07. If anyone is along the route and needs something picked up and or dropped off then let me know.
Tour de central Florida. Lovely. I hear it's very popular this time of year.

Going to be a little north of me, but if you want to swing by for a beer or a sammich I'll be here
In reply to Mr_Asa :
I would love both but need to get back to Jacksonville sober and at a reasonable time.

In reply to Stampie (FS) :
Understandable.
For lunch on the way, you could try a hot dog shack in Brooksville that I keep meaning to stop at when I go through there. Reviews are good.

In reply to Mr_Asa :
That might work. At that point I'm more free with my time so could linger. Don't know what you're doing Friday but want to meet for a late lunch?

I could head up that way. Just give me an estimate of time.
Might prefer to eat outside on the tailgate, though.
In reply to Mr_Asa :
Good on both. I'm thinking 1ish but can text you to update as I go along.
In reply to Stampie (FS) :
Lost the beard I see.
& Lil Stampie isn't so little anymore.
Have a safe trip. I wish your route was bringing you through Gainesville.

In school drop off line.
Who dat? That's not the Stampie I remember from the Tues night Zooms....
Yes the beard went away a few weeks ago.
Just did the first stop. Picked up two SBF HEI distributors.
Set of drag tires brand new stickers still on them.
I took Mr_Asa's suggestion and I'm enjoying a tailgate lunch.

Hmmm, two questions: are those going to stay on the chevrolet wheels, and what's the rule for borrowing?
In reply to Floating Doc (Forum Supporter) :
They are not but there may be a set of 28 inch tall drag slicks at the Challenge also. I know the time very well and it is you have to include them at what I paid for them.

Sorry I couldn't meet you, but because I wasn't I was able to wander into the VA where they were doing walk-in vaccinations on a first-come, first-served basis!
Reason for everything!
Was the hot dog place good?
Glad to hear you're vaccinated! I got my second one today.
In reply to Mr_Asa :
It was good. But don't think I've ever had a bad hotdog.
Last stop I traded 20 minutes of labor for random SBF gaskets valve covers and an alternator
Glad you had a safe and productive trip!
In reply to Floating Doc (Forum Supporter) :
Let me know if you are interested in borrowing the 28 inch drag tires. Also if you want I might be willing to trade these sawblades towards some of your stash.
I've got a set of drag slicks on some turbine style wheels. 2013 build date, so no good.
The car's sitting on a set of 2013 road course slicks on these wheels.
A quick assessment hasn't shown that I might have anything worth trading. Inventory is a few weeks away.
