kgbw49 BaltACD tree68 jeffhergert Why the difference in average speeds? Just to make the longer route look better? Jeff I kind of wondered the same thing - Outside of OKC, Tulsa, and Joplin, I35/I44 is pretty much open road. And yes, I have driven it. Time the trip right and you can miss the congestion points and maintain 65 MPH the same as the other route. Somebody it trying to blow air under some skirts. And while towing a trailer loaded with a race car to boot, as you have done more than a few times all over the country, I am betting, right Balt?
Have never done Texas in my racing - however, the rig knows it way up and down I95 between Homestead and New York and I70 from home through Columbus, Indy, St. Louis and Kansas City. Have managed I65 from Indy to Chicago and through on I94 through Milwaukee. Not to mention I75 through Atlanta to I71 through Cincinnati. Since I have been retired, I start the loooong trips at about 11 PM - there is realtively little traffic on most routes until about 5 AM when it begins to pick up for the morning rush hour.
