I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU ARE GETTING READY FOR THE AUSTIN TRIP BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD POST AGAIN. HERSCHAL DID A GREAT JOB OF TELLING YOU ALL ABOUT WHEAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY BUT AFTER HE LEFT, WE ALL GOT ON SHIFTER CARS LESS THE SHIFTER AND WENT FOR 6 LAPS AROUND THE SHORTENED TRACK. WHAT A HOOT FOR ALL CONCERNED.

DURING THE DAY WE HEARD ALL OF THE STORIES ABOUT THE REST OF THE PACK'S STORIES ABOUT THE TRIP FROM HOOVER DAM DOWN TO PHOENIX...THE 180 MPH SPEEDS,,,THE ARIZONA POLICE LYING IN WAIT...THE TICKETS SO WELL DESERVED.

AFTER 6:30 WE LOADED THE INJURED BUT NOT DIEING VETTE INTO THE TRAILER, THE M5 BEHIND DRIVEN BY BOB, AND HEADED TO OUR FIRST CHECK POINT IN FORT STOCKTON TEXAS. A MERE 450 OR SO MILES. KEITH DROVE FIRST QND THEN I TOOK OVER. AT 4;00 A.M. WE ARRIVED AT THE CHECKPOINT AND HAD TO WAKE EVERYONE UP. WE WERE THE FIRST.,..PRETTY DARN GOOD FOR A DUALLY PULLING A 48' TRAILER. IT WASN'T A BIG VICTORY BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW THAT THE EUROPEANS STOP AND EAT EVERY CHANCE THEY GET.

WE GOT A ROOM AND SLEPT FOR 4 HOURS SINCE THE REST OF THE DRIVE TO SAN ANTONIO WOULD BE LEISURELY. ARRIVED AT THE MARRIOTT RIVER VIEW ABOUT 3;30 AND HAD A BEER AND GOT CLEANED UP.

FROM THERE WE WENT TO THE SPACE NEEDLE, SITE OF THE 68 HEMISFAIR FIR DINNER. AFTER DRINKS AND PRIME RIB, HERE I AM TYPING THIS FOR YOUR REVIEW. PHOTES MAY OR MAY NOT BE SENT TONIGHT. THIS IS SO MUCH FUN I CAN'T TELL YA ALL OF IT.

MORE TOMORROW.

HERSCHAL,,, THANK YOU BRO.
