yeah, but you still get to check it out. Make sure you take 28 from 74 through fontana, don't take 129 from 74.

looking at trip's map... it'll be faster to go down to birmingham, montogomery, down to Mobile... and over... rather than down through hattiesburg. just fyi

It's not. It's faster to go to hattiesburg. I have tried both on my way to New Orleans. Now if he wanted to visit you, he could go that route.

depends on what time you go through... it's 10 min faster to go through hattiesburg from your place to mine... BUT through hattiesburg and after you have lots of lights. not so the other way.

I am pretty sure he is taking interstate, so lights aren't an issue.

BTW it's 697 miles through hattiesburg vs 753 through mobile from birmingham to richmond. It's a 50 mile difference. Plus you don't have much city traffic through hattiesburg.

Are you trying to go to his house or yours?

oh ok, yeah 59 takes me to almost New Orleans never leaving the interstate, meets up with I-10.

Depending on how you could back, it could be on the way. Stop off for a few hours, enjoy some awesome racing, then hit the road again. Come over into the paddock and hang out and I'll have a cold water or coke for ya. :)
