I-75 Florida, Big Mess......

Oklahoma has signs that say "don't drive into the smoke" there is even a song called "don't drive into the smoke" by T. Kellison Warren -I cannot find and listen to it on the entire internet . . wow . . surprised . . .he is awesome! I met him at the Big Texan steakhouse when I drove for Schneider in 1991 . . .very nice fella and He even played my guitar in the parking lot-made it walk and talk . . .very good at finger pickin-he reminded me of Willie Nelson . .even had same braids . .
I was there at the big Texan with an other driver I talked to on the C>B ..He said he was gonna eat that 72 oz steak and so I followed Him in there to witness it . . .He did it in 56 minutes by golly . . potato, shrimp ####tail ,salad . . the whole darn thing! The guy was 5 foot 6 and a buck 40 !

T Kellison Warren and His sister ( Deborah -mandolin) were there with a group that had a special car called "Earth Car" -they had just returned from the salt flats of Utah testing it . .it is a car that runs on plant oil-they got it up to 214 MPH . . I saw the car in the trailer they had . .very interesting guy-He was promoting the car musically . .And He played the song "Don't drive into the smoke" for me . . .

I was absolutely floored to realise that we had technology that could circumvent oil and it's harmful traits . . .I even asked them point blank why the Government didn't persue this and they said "Are you kidding? We get threats all the time concerning our invention." So . . .there ya go . . .

 

Mr. W that Big Texan is the place to go, I been in there about 5 times earlie 2000, but never had the balls to try the free deal, friendly place, quiet too when I went in, place is huge in side; i looked at some of those photos and name plates who had gt the dinner free. I only had the time to do simply stop...sure do like hearing about the place.

As for T Kellison and Earth Car will keep my eye out for it...I think its kewl 212 mph, but really 55mplh is plenty fast

 

The horrible thing about this accident was not only was the road opened to soon, but people were stopping in the road, an exiting their cars and talking in the road, they didn't stop to think about who was coming behind them. I believe they said finally death count was 13 or 14, several rushed incrital didn't make it.
It's stories like that that have me counting down till Kaptkirk can get off the road!
Everyone please be safe!
