Great weather finally in Ohio.....drove the 90 miles down to Good Guys in Columbus. The Mariott off 161 hosts the show crowd with a great barbecue and music. Met a FABO reader or two for some great B.S. and bench racing. What a blast. The Duster likes to go any speed......mostly 65 @ 2300 rpm. Joining me, was Brother Weeb in the 383 Duster. We headed back to Findlay around 10pm for a great nigh time cruise home.....and we have the bug spatter to prove it.
Only had one small issue....as I made the final turn to the Mariott, the 1st/2nd rod retainer clip somehow removed itself off the shifter leaving me locked in first to drive the (luckily) remaining 500 feet into the Mariott parking lot. I borrowed a floor jack from a trailed ride, verified the issue and used Brother Johns car to drive to Jegs a few miles down the interstate for a package of retainers. Back in business for the return trip later in the evening in less than 30 minutes.
Oh yeah....I left my blue chair in the Mariott packing lot. Hopefully Big D Hoosh (he lives less than 10 miles away) will drive over and retrieve it for me and bring it to The Nats.
