Need directions from Okla city to the trade show.

Trammel, The MPEC complex is easy to find in W.F., just take I-44 from OKC all the way to W.F., Tx. and when you get into the town of W.F.take the 5th/6th St. exit and turn left , go under the I-44 bridge and 6th St. is one way and go about 2 or 3 blocks to Burnett St. and turn left and go across 5th st. which is one way and go straight and you will see the MPEC complex in front of you , the Auction is to the north of the Coliseum in the stock barns, it is a nice facility.Look for the race car trailers ,etc., Maybe see you there Sat.??. J.D.

Google Earth is the best thing on the internet when traveling to strange parts. As you can see you can see the ramp for getting off the I-44 west (which you are actually going south on). If you go past the US 287 I-44 junction you went to far.

You need to install Google Earth on your PC to use it.

Warren, your right about that.

Was good to see pokeyokie and others at the Vintage Race Car Booth at the W.F. Auction last Sat. , lots of old photos from Wichita Speedway and Lawton Speedway and it was a lot of fun just talking about way back when. J.D.

We had fun too JD. Lots of people came by our booth that enjoyed looking at our photos and just plain good old bench racing. Bob Johnson's 1936 Chevy Coupe helped bring lots of visitors by too. I want to thank him for bringing his car in to display. I especially want to thank Donnie Tyner (my friend) for making all this happen. It was kind of a mini racers reunion Saturday.
