3rd and 4th gear in the curvy roads at 3K to 4K rpm. almost 30mpg. 5th gear at 2.5 to 3K rpm 22 to 24 mpg. Love the sound of the pipes talking to me at 3K to 4K rpm music to my ears.

Knocked a hour off the ride home, no idea how that happen . Got home at 10 and missed the storm. Got a little sprinkle. Had a blast meeting everyone. I wish I could remember everyones names. Boomer, chevy2, Wanka , couple from pryor, couple from hmmmm forgot that too. Another couple or 2 or 3 I forgot where from. Of course Danger Darrel and Bill Martin who never did come back to have that smoke and drink. Little smaller turn out but a good time regardless. I wish everyone a safe trip home.
I am so sorry and hang my head in shame I didn’t get back to drink bourbon and smoke cigars. Didn’t get to see you Saturday but my beloved Sling almost killed us Thursday evening. After most of the day my auto tranny was not shifting correctly. 5 miles from dangerdarrell ’s house where we were staying the rear end suddenly locked up with my ass end starting to come around toward the front. I was able to straighten it out and for off the road in the grass (probably only place in miles it was that flat with no ditch). It started up and I hobbled it on to the house with only slightly soiled drawers. The good thing is Dave@DDMWorks was the installer and is going to fly to my house and figure out what the hell happened. I gotta admit you can’t beat that when an ace mechanic flies 900 miles to service my Sling. It is little wonder why Brother Dave is one of the top vendors in the Slingshot world !! I promise (ya know a lawyer would never lie 😂😂) SERIOUSLY -you can’t go wrong buying anything from the small to complex from DDM Works
[/quote]Dude that sucks, I am just glad you and the SS are in one piece. Maybe next year I will have a Trump 2020 cigar for ya.
