BTW, driving home Sunday night after the event, I notice a car coming up fast and realize it's a camaro doing about 100---I saw the streak of blue hair pass me by and my suspicions were confirmed---the guy drives that car---fast---LOL.

I am good ballast. I got to ride with Mary in her 73 Camaro, David in Bad Penny (2 years in a row!) and with Scott Mock in the Sonoco 69 Camaro. I also had my own helmet which makes it easier to hop into cars waiting in line. Once I was finished with Tech my duties were over.

Yes, I drive my 68 Camaro hard and fast every where I go, everyday. I just broke the 18K mark on her in just over a year.

Thanks for the compliment, Scott! I appreciate it! I know you've seen your share of car pics of the years.

Yep! I have several pics of your wagon. I'll post some up. I have a few of your off-track deal, too. Did that break your chin spoiler when that happened? I noticed in the pics after the fact it was hanging down just a bit. Didn't notice that when I was watching.

How long of a tow was it back to Minneapolis? Did you leave Saturday night?

Does anyone have any info on who makes the wheels on the black mustang Scott posted on the previous page?

The owner told me they were custom made by his fabricator after a set of Jongbloed wheels were out of round by as much as 1/4". He apparently took out a patent on the design and will be offering them for sale shortly.

My 'off-track' excursion LOL...that was a mess. The transponder thing was supposed to light up when you hit 60 mph. I grabbed 2nd gear and knew it'd be lighting up real soon...so I waited, and watched, and waited, and watched...I looked down track again and realized I was out of pavement!! I panicked a bit and locked them up.

The spoiler did get pulled off one of it's mounts. It was an easy fix with no harm done.

I was asked about the off-track bit a LOT..and heard that a few other guys didn't get the 60 mph signal either. Obviously, most of them did, since it worked out just fine for the majority of participants. I was plenty embarrassed, that's for sure. Oh well..things happen.

We left Saturday night and got to Grand Junction, CO. Then we got up and hit the road, and didn't stop until we got to Mpls at around 6AM on Monday. It was an uneventful drive back, but there were lots of deer crossing the Interstate. Had to be over 100 splats on the road, carcasses alongside it, and live deer threatening to cross. I've never seen them so dense, but it is the season for them to be moving. It's pretty scary at night when you see them looking across from the shoulder of the road, and know they'll be jumping any second. Luckily, we missed them all.

These were shot just before the 0-60-0 run (off)... Very cool wagon.
