We went in 2006 got rained out, Al Teague and a few others went in 1995 and got rained out. Marlo and Knapp went a couple of times in the last few years and got rained out. That?s why we chose Bolivia. After the debacle last year, we believe we have honorable competent people doing logistics this year. I am working with Reg Cook to have an FIA/FIM event in October of this year. Reg wants a 19-mile course on the best salt in the world with no chance of rain. No flies either.
