We spent very little time on I-45 before they shuttled us off on the picturesque little two lane featured in the picture above that Boone shot of the cars following me. I was enjoying the drive when suddenly I went by a big sign that said "Welcome to Cedar Creek DragWay", we were 600 feet past it before it sunk in.
"Dang it Boone, bet that was a cool little 1/8 mile track back on that road!"
"Yeah, but we better keep moving..."
Boone had a Seafood Restruant on his itenerary in Shreveport, and he wasn't about to let me screw it up traipsin' around some little hole in the wall dragstrip.
The tempature guage had me concerned, and as we entered a larger town complete with stop lights it began to climb. That was when I realized I'd apparently turned the fans off at our last gas stop, and left them off, brilliant. The next stop light we were joined by the Orange Chevelle we had ignored on the side of the road the night before. We actually shared a supper stop with these guys on last years Drag Week, cool guys for Chevy racers. This year they had added a junior crew member, apparently 3 isn't a crowd!
