We're real close.  Jim (Texican) and Pork Pie helped me find a problem in the Monte Carlo's motor this morning.  We're setting up our large EZ-Up in my front yard as a test and are about to load it into the race car's trunk when we take it down.

I'm heading up tomorrow. I'll probably stop halfway and take a nap. That 4 hour drive is murder. (Insert crazed laughter here.) Bwahhhahahaha.  :-D Wayno

Pace yourself, Wayno, and drink plenty of fluids,  :wink:

And please pass on a howdy to the Granite Falls team for me - I'm stuck in Beerhaven.

Michael Werner and Ed Staheli were near Ontario, Oregon two hours ago as they head to Mecca. That's more than half way from Granite Falls, WA.

Marlo Treit and his supporters should be on the road from Portland with the Urban Concept car and the supplies to make

their meeting with the Granite Falls HS team Tuesday morning.

3:06 PTT     The scheduled departure for Treit, Dickie Milne and Korey Bligh has been moved to 5:00PM.

The trailer is hooked up to the tow rig and Korey will be off work soon.

Marlo, Dickie and Korey are still along the Columbia River with an ETA of Noon Wendover time.

Michael Werner and Ed Staheli have checked in at their hotel. They have done the mandatory fotos at the B'ville sign

at Lands End and are unwinding after their 880 mile drive. This is Ed's first trip and now starts his rewards for all of the

custom machine work he has done over the past few years. It's a real pleasure to have him on board and no worries about

the parts he makes in the middle of the night so the students can continue the build when their class time starts.

He didn't get a vaccination against Salt Fever so he is hooked.
