    I come up with 29 myself with two or three that will get done. A couple might only be half credit as i've driven parts of route 66, but not the entire ramaining part. Also not technically been on the starting line with fuelers, but at the line and behind them.

    I think I counted about 10. I gave myself partial credit for a couple, like Power Tour, even though I didn't long haul. I think the big 2 for me to cross off would be to drive a funny car, and compete in a demo derby. One is easier than the other. :D
