Drove the wagon to 3 far away functions this year.
Rappin to Minden in Nebraska
Meldown Drags, Byron Ill
Hamb Drags , Joplin Missouri

Just got back from Joplin. On one stretch, filled up in Platte City MO and drove to Springfield Mo for the swapmeet, then onto Joplin for the party that evening in the hotel parking lot. Filled up with gas and checked mileage. Keep in mind, I have no speedo and use the tach to maintain speed. Usually at 2800 RPM. Had two other people that can attest to only 3 cars passing me in all that driving(almost 300 miles). The car pulled 21.5 MPG!

The car has been remarkably reliable and starts on the first whirl. It is time to put front disc brakes on it. Maybe paint it the winter of 2014-15. Hate to do it now, it is too fun to drive.

Did get a lower first gear( 4.41), now to put it in.
