Quick update...
Made it to Newport TN. Car still running good. Seems to be smoother in 3rd Gear vice Overdrive so we are running w/o over drive. Mileage is still much better than we thought. We were getting about 24 MPG and its about 22 w/o overdrive.
Many hills today including a "short cut" up a dirt road over a mountain in western VA.
Made all the challenges but they really added alot to the trip. Left Harrisonburg at 10:00 am and arrived in Newport around 9:00pm.
Some of the cars are feeling the pain but folks are hanging in there. One of the teams is currently repainting their car in the motel parking lot--they are changing it every day. Greg just pushed Team "there will be bacon" into the lot--they have two good cylinders left (they started with four).
Long day and were tired--and the cold beers at the end are kicking in.
