The race to SEMA is on who will win?
 
As some of you might know Jason from G-Force designs and myself have a friendly wager on who can get there car ready and to SEMA first. Jason and I have got to be pretty good friends talk almost every day share almost all information. But boys will be boys and competition is good. So as we both ran neck and neck getting our projects ready we knew it would be close now the race across the country is on. Both of us have about 2500 miles ahead of us team prodigy got the jump and left this morning at 9 AM with three drivers. Team G-Force left a little later at 1 PM with four drivers.

It's 3 AM and team prodigy has 1000 miles down and a 200 miles ahead of G-Force. How ever G-Force is closing quick on team prodigy hindered by a smaller fuel tank, two cars in tow, two miles per gallon worse fuel econ, and a unpaid speeding ticket in Texas forcing me to drive the speed limit.

Team G-Force with there larger fuel tank and better fuel econ now have down right cheated and have borrowed Bill Howell's killer valentine radar detector, looks like it could be close and I am really afraid I'm going to have a nasty bar tab. Stay tuned for updates.

Let me see if I got this right..You are heading thru Texas and have a unpaid speeding ticket there but you have never bothered to buy your own Valentine Radar detector ? How many more tickets before you do buy one ?:rofl:

Bill Howell 10-27-2007 07:31 AM

He is a slow learner....:lol:

Frank, Depending on what time you come through Hoover Dam may not be your best choice. They may want to inspect your trailer(If they will let you across with it) and contents and the traffic can get bad on the weekends. I bet your coming through Flagstaff then through Kingman AZ. Do yourself a favor and once you hit Kingman go through Laughlin NV and bypass Hoover dam. It may just save you one hell of a bar tab and it's not much farther but usually a hell of alot faster. http://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/crossingguide.pdf

Who's got the checker Flag? This is just like a movie man, I love it.

Update

It is 4 PM eastern, Team G Force was gaining and within 150 miles, but had a blow out on the trailer, set them back to 175 miles at the last check in. However Team Prodigy just took another hit when my buddy Todd (Vegas 69) informed me we could not pass over the dam, and have to go around, UGH!

Gosh this is going to be close. It should all come to a end about 6 PM eastern, 3 PM Vegas time

As for Barney Fife, we already through tacks on the highway!

Up date from G-Force
 
Well here's the absolute lastest from Jason. They are about 2 hours short of the Arizona border! They lost a lot of time due to a 4 TIRE CHANGE on the trailer. They had 1 tire go bad with a bubble and changed it. At the next stop they noticed a 2nd tire going bad - therefore the very costly in time 4 tire change. Looks like they should roll into SEMA before dawn Sunday AM. We'll see.

Ouch! That doesn't sound fun!

What did team Prodigy do! Haha :thumbsup:

Vegas69 10-27-2007 10:20 PM

Prodigy wins as long as they went through Laughlin. I have a feeling Frank not only won the race but has already drank a $100 spot of his winnings. Frank cut me in:rofl:

Prodigy Wins! We arrived in Vegas at 5 AM Eastern time. We knew Team G was having many problems, but to assure a win, we had Lisa sweet talk security at the dam, convincing them the trailer is only a 36 and not a 44, which would be 4 feet to big to pass, LOL!

So I am thinking I will start with a shot of Louie then switch to Grey Goose Martini's

Roger Poirier 10-28-2007 07:52 AM

I love it! Great read...:lol: :lol: :lol:

Vegas69 10-28-2007 09:13 AM

And I figured that story was going to end with you getting a cavity search by a man with large knuckles..... See you in a couple of days.

But then again, I was thinking you were going to get stopped by the Man in Texas..LOL

Oh yeah they made it in 1 piece. Their setting up and cleaning the car right now. They may not have been the 1st to get there but based on where they're set up they may very well win the race to be the 1st ones out.:lol:
