I have been toying with the idea of giving the 2017 mtfca tour in Montana a try. It is pretty close and I had a great time on the driving tour of the Early V8 ford club tour a couple years ago with my '33. I was a bit under powered compared to the "big boys" but it was a wonderful week.

I haven't ever been on a "T" tour and am a bit concerned about the distances and some of the descents could be a bit steep.

I do not have a ruckstell as my runabout is really light and have therefore not installed AC brakes.

Does it sound risky to do an extended tour without backup brakes?

By the way, is anyone else planning on going?
