Sun run on 410 to Yakima up date

[Andrew Teal]

It was a great run, and I would like to thank Jim#3 and Sue for coming down from up North to make the run, Sue was a great sport putting up with the guys. Also Jims ERA with his built 427 side oiler had a geat sound as it blasted by me on the Photo shots, yes Jake G. I have lots of great shots to pass your way.
We started at Puyallup, when Steve B. got there he said he was only going to -Buckley and taking a good look at the weather. I said it wont rain and once we get to the East side it well be hot, I was wrong. As we pulled into Naches to have lunch there was a very large strom to the south. We where all enjoying our fish chips and tall cold ones when a local walk in a said you boys better get out of Dodge as there some real rain coming our way. We where out the door and filling up the tanks when the rain hit. Jim#3 and Sue took to the North towards Ellensburg. I left behind Jim#1 and Steve they thought I was ahead of them, they where trying to catch me and I was trying to catch them. I guess Steve said to Jim #1 Andy well be at the rest stop or a gas station. They never saw them again, I think Steve was trying to get out of buying my ice cream? Well it rain so hard I was having trouble seeing the rd. I almost hit a large rock in the rd. After calling Jim in Tac. Jim thought Steve had hit the same rock. I hope Steve Cobra is O.K.
Thanks for going guys. Well send some photos your way.

Now I'm glad I had to work.

Sure hope Steve did not hit that rock. That could ruin your day in a hurry.

I hate driving in wet underwear!!

Other than the 15 minute downpour, it was a great run. (Jake, not near as bad as the Canadian run). I did hit the rock but it was a glancing blow and no apparent damage.
Andy,
Jim and I were up to 80 mph trying to catch up but travel trailers and motor homes got in the way.

Jim #3,
It was nice meeting you and Sue; hope to see you again on future runs. A reminder: If you are in front of Jim (race-it) it's you responsibility to signal him to cancel his turn indicators.

On a side note; When entering Hwy 512 from Sumner I came upon an original
289 Cobra. It was light grey in color, wire wheels, with collector plates. We both gave thumbs up and I followed him to Veterans Dr. where he turned off of Gravelly. Nice looking car.

Sorry to hear you guys got wet. Steve I know how much you love driving in the rain in the Cobra Ha! The good news is that they always dry.
