Re: Daytona Beach: Turkey Rod Run
I headed up there in the Blazer last evening around dinner time. Tue. is the load in day for the show. The area is always crowded with all kinds of hot rods & show vehicles. I never made it, shredded the R.R. 285/50/18 NITTO tire on I-95 Northbound. I smelled tire and felt it go down about the same time. Not the tire's fault, bald & way too old to be cruising 80 mph. on the interstate. No damage to the Blazer, 3hr. wait for AAA to flatbed it home. Hopefully, I'll see/meet you Friday at your space,... the ol' GMC's got fresh tires.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
