Suck it up, Chris :P They are ALL up-hill for us :roll: Slight bit more distance, too!
Talk about up-hill, windy, and distant; you don't hear any complaints from Macca and Lyn!
Can't wait, and wouldn't miss it, (even if I had to drive a Chevy :P )

OKC is at 1200 feet as well, so no difference as far as that goes.
It will closer than any of the previous Slick Stocks have been to me.
About 260 miles give or take. Might even get Marla to come this time.
She won't have an excuse that she can't get off for it. Lol! TR

Averaged 37 mpg KC to Salina to KC last trip in a rental which appeared to be powered by a modernized "Poppin' Johnny". If I get one third of that heading up with Quicksilver, I'll be overjoyed!
