Blue Sky Hemi Duster Build
The Duster was done enough to make the Power Tour.
Getting ready to roll out.
Arrived in Arlington, TX.
Stopped at Queen Donuts in Terrell, TX.
The Duster caught the eye of one of the Hot Rod guys. Apparently it will have a "Car of the Day" video blurb on the Hot Rod site.
Hanging out in Little Rock, AR. Note: I didn't get the AC charged in time but we found a shop in Little Rock and they got it going.
Another stop for Donuts at Shipley's in or around Little Rock.
A not so very impressive run at Memphis International Speedway. More driver skill, shock absorber adjustments, and maybe not so much luggage in the trunk could go a long way towards a better performance. Car 90, btw.
Rain was an issue for much of the day in Birmingham, AL. Headed to the hotel early for food, drinks and rest.
Crazy man somewhere in Alabama.
Lunch stop at the Cabbage Bowl in Alabama. We were approached by some folks asking if we were the guys in the "Burnout Girls" Youtube video. And we are. I'm pretty sure 300+ views makes it the most popular thing on the internet!

Arrived in Chattanooga, TN. The venue had these giant speed bumps on which I continually scraped the bottom of the Duster.
The drive from Chattanooga to Concord, NC was a long one. Luckily my buddy Jim has family in Murphy, NC so we spend the night there. Good times.
Made it to the ZMax Dragway in Concord to secure our official Long Hauler status with little drama! The Duster performed really well on the trip. We'd spend the night in Charlotte, NC, attend the Long Hauler ceremony and head back to Kansas City the next day.
We saw Jared the Subway guy driving his nice BMW in Tennessee. The tags read "EATSUBS".
We decided to pass on the subs for our last Donut stop in St. Louis, MO.
The Duster build had twenty miles on the clock when we left.
