Goodguys Hall of Fame - Road Tour 2015
 

https://www.good-guys.com/goodguys-road-tour

I see they are coming through OKC. I would like to go see the cars that are on the tour. Any insight on what day and time they will be in OKC? According to the schedule they are stopping at Ted Davis Enterprises in OKC.

I'll have Hellfire there if it makes it that far but I don't have the schedule yet.

I see they are stopping in Memphis also at Comp Cams. Would love to see the cars and meet the people when they come through.

If anyone has a schedule?

Charlie and I will be there IF he makes it that far.... LOL
I'll be driving Gwen's '33...

The Village idiot already managed to Star his windshield not 60 miles from home.:trophy-1302:

better the shield than the paint...boy he looks happy (thats the famous glass guy pose)

Gwen said get it fixed or just keep on driving....

Any update when you guys are going to be through OKC?

We'll get our packets tomorrow....

Oklahoma City is Day 3 - Hilton Garden Inn on Meridian Ave

We leave Amarillo TX - and have several stops before getting to OKC -- we check in to the hotel and then have a dinner scheduled...

I'm bummed i'm missing it this year. Had a great time the last two years.

Have a great time greg, tell the countryside i said hi!! (tell charley, he'll get some peace with out my motor mouth)....

He told me five times today that you were here - and that you were over at the Auto Cross event!! I kept waiting for you to come and park in the "special area".

It's NOT going to rain every day like it did last year - so we have that going for us!

Memphis/Comp Cams? ...and when you say day 3, is that Wed or ?

Thanks for updates GW!

Today (Sunday) is day ONE... So day three would be Tuesday...

Comp Cams is THURSDAY (day Five)... We have a driver meeting at 7:30AM - after that we depart to Comp Cams which should be a 30 minute drive... We DEPART Comp Cams at 9:30AM

I replaced you......

Dammit!! The one day I cannot venture off the reservation. (house painters will be here working):censored: :censored: :censored:

When is the stop at Ted Davis? Tuesday or is it Wednesday morning before leaving OKC?

Thanks,

David

Any chance you guys will be stopping in big ole Amarillo for lunch or something tomorrow? I know some guys that would love to gawk:thumbsup:

We're more important than getting your house painted. WTF!

We will leave Cadillac Ranch tomorrow at 4:00 and head to Bill's Backyard Classics --- leave there around 5:00 and will be at Holiday Inn Wolfin Ave... then leaving there for dinner before 6:00

Pretty tight window -- but it is what it is!

Ted Davis is day three -- Tuesday -- will be there around 5:30ish.

More important than painting, yes.

More important than happy wife..., I'll be here overseeing the painting.


Why are there no pics or stories in this thread yet?!? Surely someone has been arrested by now....

Be patient, they won't be able to contain the juvenile within.

History repeats itself right?

:lateral: :goodguys: :cheering:

No tickets.... no big issues... the ones that some have had have been handled. We have two, two car trailers - 55 gallons of Premium gas - tons of tools and even more knowledge. Most of the cars are seasoned veterans of long distance and as such are well maintained.

The trip has been very fun -- extremely well organized -- and has run like clockwork! My kudos to Good Guys.... and to Ed Capon (driving the giveaway roadster) and his lovely bride Maggi!

Is there a map of the route?

I might be able to sneak over to the interstate and at least see the caravan as it rolled by...:hello:

Great to meet some of you guys and nice to see your awesome rides. Have a safe trip!

Lol, that's awesome! Great pics

Glad you came over Chad!! It's always good to meet everyone. It's really never about the cars or the drives --- it's about all the great people we meet.

I was thinking I wouldn't bother with SEMA this year... and then got to thinking about all the people I see only there... and booked a room. LOL

Looks like everyone is having fun. :thumbsup:

Wow! Charley uses all his fingers when the wife's in the car. :sieg:

Charlie still has a splint on his finger, I thought it would have healed by now. :headscratch:

Nice! Hope all went well, we do need more pics thou!

Now you have to clean the car before giving it back to the wife,yes?

Again, nice to meet you, Charlie, and Ken.... thanks for being REAL car guys!

Flew home last night. The gang at Holley headquarters were nice enough to store Hellfire and Greg's car until a truck can pick them up. Put 1872 miles on Hellfire and it ran like a top. What a great event. They limit the tour to 50 cars and it seems just right. I think we had 41 cars. It is a small enough group that we can stop and see some very cool shops and collections. Seeing a gazillion cams being made at Comp Cams, seeing 2 gazillion carbs being made at Holley, seeing George Poteet's farm with rows of cars. I could go on and on. Ed Capen was our fearless leader and he just flat out has things squared away. Wherever we go next year I am in.:cheers:

sounds like a good ole time. less people and stops makes it nicer for sure.

I FINALLY got home --- so now will post some pics. To echo what Charlie said.... the tour was excellent - went without a single hitch - the planning and instructions that we got (in the form of a book) with addresses - routes - contact numbers etc. Very professional! I'll be on next years for sure.



Not in order ---- just random shots from places we visited.

To me - this was the most impressive of them all - because of the HISTORY the owner has.



These bricks and windows -- came from his Grandfathers business!!

On another wall he had the SIGN that was from his Grandfather on his other side (you know - like one is his fathers father and the other his Mothers father)





COMP CAMS was an amazing shop tour!!

Jesse Greening not only was on the tour with us --- he opened his shop for us and fed us lunch. The shop is HOSPITAL clean.

And of course -- you had to go to The National Corvette Museum when in Bowling Green!!

Looks like a great time guys! :thumbsup:

Have you figured out who made this and what the application was yet?

http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_8308.jpg

Great pics Greg. Man i missed going. We went to a few of those stops on the '13 tour, seems like yesterday.

Thanx for sharing and reminding me how much i missed it (where the "Charlie imogee"?)
