Wiz - 4-wheel mascot transport is a "no-no".
Mascot Rules

Rules specify HD transport only.

The weekend of 11/1-11/3 I'm going to be at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA not too far from you. Thought about connecting with you then, but I also will be on 4 wheels instead of 2 that weekend, so that won't work.

WTT just may not work this time. Let me get past the weekend and TOD and see if we can find a favorable weather day to connect with you

Then I'm out for this weekend. Was the only way for me to get there.

We'll make it work.

Put me on the list again when it hits El Paso, TX or Las Cruces, NM. I transported the mascot last nov from El, Paso to Lordsburg, NM. It was a blast.

Just plain riding is a blast.....when you're transporting the mascot its an event and a huge honor, imho.

Glad to see it get down in the land of Dixie.....now move away, move away, down further into Dixieland.......have great fun y'all!

I'll have it up here for a while, no worries, your back can heal up. Will be contacting others in Atlanta and South for pass off. I'm sure by the first of the year it will be in Florida though. Maybe you can cage to a meet if you want to smile for a pic or a signing and let others pass it along?

LeadSSled. I grew up in Madisonville and still have family there. I worked in Knoxville way back in 68 before going in the Army. The mascot is running a little late this year. Last year I picked it from El Paso the week before thanksgiving and then took it to AZ the Saturday after thanksgiving. I plan on riding back to TN this year, I will give a shout if I am heading that way. Jim

I am only a short distance from Madisonville. The ride to Benton's Country Hams for my bacon addiction is just 45 minutes. Be sure to let me know when you get back into the area. And thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day tomorrow!
