I dunno Chris... I get full just looking at that list lol.
So Google maps is telling me 1hr 44min to get there from FloMo. I can't believe that. Chris (Fithamto) - what's the real deal? I need to be back really by 4pm so I'm hoping I can do it in maybe 1hr 15m? I mean... it's only 77 miles.. figure 50 of that is highway and will only take 30ish minutes... I have no detection... hella lucky so far.

I think it saves a little time by staying on 20 till exit 406 and go north on Bowie street and then pick up 180 just west of downtown weatherford. It will save you all the lights thru Weatherford.
See ya there

I basically go out 1171 to 35W south then take 820 west that hits 30 West then it becomes 20 West to Hwy 180 to Weatherford and basically stay on it until you hit Mineral Wells. Turn left at FM 1195 South and then it's only minutes from there. Turn into Airport follow rd until you see the parking lot....veer to the left.
I'm not sure if staying on 20 West longer until you hit 281 is faster ??? I haven't tried it...All I know is that once you hit 180 you pretty much are at slower speeds thru the towns.

I took the turn south from the airprt and hit I20 route home last weekend. It's a better drive but don't know if it's any faster.
There's no towns to go through also.

I'll be passing through Grapevine Mall, so I'll stop by Bass Pro Shop. I'll at the Bass Pro parking lot at about 6:30 AM and will leave the lot at 6:45. PM me your number if you're going to meet me there.
Also, what other items are needed for the BBQ?

Also in Lieu of food you must give us all private instruction !

Great time yesterday. Enjoyed meeting everyone and the chance to get to know all. Still trying to keep names and faces straight.
I was enjoying my Vid till Ken posted, HAHA. You can see he is 5+ mph faster thru most all of the sections and 5 Sec quicker. Man that car goes!
Here's my best at 86.148
The vid starts a couple of seconds into the run.
