Dave,

I'm glad you chose the JDM route. Your truck looks great. Those guys are true professionals and make the drive worthwhile.

Enjoy!!

Lol Cliff.

I saw your sig on the wall. In fact I mentioned to Sandi(my wife) that you had driven a heck of a long way also. Actually I think we signed right next to yours.

Have a great day.

Dave

 

You can't lose something you never had. RobG and I have both of you beat by at least 150 miles one way(we're both west of Chicago). Each of us have made at least 5 trips out to see Jim over the last two years, so for total mileage, we are definately in contention with most anyone else.

As for a single trip, I think the current JDM road warrior trophy holder may be Wes Freisen from Okalahoma. who followed Jim back to NJ after one of the Texas events, had a built engine installed, then drove it right to WFC5 in St. Louis to race before returning home to Oklahoma. But I could be wrong. I certainly applaud his efforts. He would fit right in with the ILLNESS club if he lived in our area.

Nice Pics, glad you enjoyed your JDM experience.

Thanks Bob.

Speaking of long trips we got to a hotel late Monday night and lo and behold there was another black lightning parked in the lot.
It had Illinois plates on it. I had hoped to run into the owner in the morning but the truck was gone when we were off to Jdm that morning. Justin had said that he had work done the day before and he must of been on his way back.

Anyone from the boards here ?
