Mark Haymond Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Paul, I will meet you at Highway 99 and Herndon Ave in Fresno with my 1947 P-15. But which one of us is Red Leader and which one is the trusty wing man? Mark Quote
pflaming Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 Mark, I believe it's six lane road up to Modesto, so we can run a blockaid. Quote
DJ194950 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Mark, I believe it's six lane road up to Modesto, so we can run a blockaid. I believe its about 50/50 4 lane and 6 lane with the recently completed 6 Ln. additions headed north, Fresno-Modesto. The worst part of a run- Fresno- Modesto was arround Fresno area and people rushing to get to ??? Took the ride south from Modesto to Fresno to help a friend pick up a couple of free Mopar flat 6's from a member on the car side. My friends Ford 3/4 ton diesel powered truck with car trailer in tow started having fuel starvation issues and could not go over 50mph. occasionally 55mph. The real traffic issues were in Fresno area, but still not a great problem and that was a weekday. Since your trip will be sat. am, maybe the fresno drivers will be more relaxed?? Must admit that both the Modesto and Stockton metro areas have been about? as bad weekdays! Look forward to meeting the both of you southern guys and the run N. to Tim's. Plan to get off hwy 99 a few miles N.of Modesto and take slower 2 lane roads the rest of the way! Se ya soon, Doug Quote
