Yep, Slim, I saw the gendarmes at the Bend when I went thru about an hour before. If I was a conspirin' man, I'd say that there's a little bit of revenue enhancement in progress. But life's is what it is and I can only echo the suggestions of taking care when the "bears" are around...or even MIGHT be around.
The stop sign at the I-80 overpass going toward the truck stop is one place to take care....Mike Cook and I got busted on the same day a coupla years ago, I guess the cop saw that it was my birthday and only gave me a warning, but Cook got nailed.
Another place to take care is right across from Mike Crawford's auto parts store. An easy place to nail folks leavin Wendover in a hurry to get to the salt.
Meanwhile, here are a few photos from today:
The Vinson/Allison Corvette built by Rob Freyvogel...last year it ran in A/BGT, but Rob says it was virtually uncontrollable, even tho he got a red hat out of it. So this year it's running in A/BMS with some downforce changes added. Vinson tells me that they know all about the wide tire thing and that they have a set of "skinnies" but they wanna try the fat tires first. Could be interesting to be out around the 5 mile marker when he runs it.
The next 2 photos are of a Mustang being run by a couple of gents from the UK...they were telling a story about the Carrera Panamericana when I came to visit with 'em but their Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb (the oldest operational motorsport venue in the world) kinda gave 'em away as Brits. Nice chaps, I say.
