At this time next Sunday, we'll be getting up for breakfast in Paducah, KY and leaving around 8 AM for Eureka Springs.

For any fellow XFire Owners trekking to Eureka Springs via I-40W/I-24W/US-60W route, let us know and we'll see if convoying is an option.

1 week & counting!!

Marc is now not going to make it. He has decided to use that vacation week to go sailing with his best friend off the coast of Florida.

Sorry 😢

60 at CAA6 in Eureka Springs - 2015
45 at CAA8 in Eureka Springs - 2017

18 coming to this years Crossfire Fun in the Ozarks - 2018 (Round 3)
Maybe a few more from Facebook but harder to track and keep count there


A smaller gathering for sure but the Ozarks will still provide the same enjoyment as the previous years ....
And we have now friended a few locals who can share even more of the area with us
Some nice activities have been put in place by the planning committee as well

See ya all next week in my first road trip in my 6 Speed Roadster !!!

I will be on I-40 starting in Little Rock.

Anyone in Texas want to try to drive up together?

Sorry, wouldn't intersect with you until so late, it's probably not worth trying to coordinate.

I'll probably come down I40 from Tupelo, but I will be towing the car on a trailer not not moving as fast as a Crossfire.

Also not sure when I will leave the hotel, probably by 9 at the latest, putting me in ES around 4-5.

Thanks, I was going to leave Saturday and break it up over 2 days, but I think now I am going to leave BR at 6am Sunday, making my arrival in ES around 4-5, depending on stops. We might be able to meet up along I-40 in that case.

Anyone else want to meet up along I-40?

We'll be traveling across I-40 until Nashville; will then take 1-24 to Paducah & spend the night. Sunday we'll come across US-60 to US-65 and then on to Eureka Springs. Should be there around 3 PM.

She sure looks pretty after a good polish, but she still looks like a clown. Hard to believe she has to be 100% finished and packed 24 hours from now. Her wing just got finished at the Paint Shop and her new tire still isn't in. Going to have to install the non-matching tire tomorrow.
​​​​​​
Can't wait to see everyone and their pretty cars!

We arrived in Paducah without incident around 3:30 CDT. Today's drive was 8 hrs, which isn't bad. Once past Knoxville, speed limit is 70, so running near 80 lets one cover a lot of highway at a good clip. Saw 1 TN troop using a radar hand gun just outside of Knoxville. Tomorrow's drive to Eureka Springs will be a little shorter.
