Some of us doing the Hot Rod Power Tour are turning around in St. Louis and driving RT66 back.

You planning on coming to Gateway for the Tour?  It would be good to meet you.

there is also a car lot called country classics. hundreds of old cars. they can be a little pricy there but for a buck apiece you drive through and check out the cars. then there are 4 buildings full of cars. thats by mount olive right on 66.
