You and I are about the same size and I was able to catch sleep when I needed it. My only complaint was during that 72-hour "race-drive-race-drive-hit raccoon-drive-break down-wait for eternity for transport-catch an hours sleep-wait for another transport-watch repairs taking shape at Prodigy-driving another 10+ hours, race, and then drive finally ending up in Birmingham, AL" marathon, we caught an hour of sleep at some highway rest stop and James would not share his blanket, big poop that he is!!

Bring your own fleece blanket ...

I'll be watching and following along each day.

Possibly some revisionist history going on there... as I remember it you not only had a blanket at the time, you didn't even clearly remember my stopping for sleep until well afterwards. And besides, it wasn't raining that hard.

Very cool... I guess neither Todd Akes nor Cris Gonzalez returned your call.

I got part way done dialing Todd's number but figured he'd just get frustrated pumping the gas before trying to start the car all the time and didn't want to fuss him with all the "new tech" stuff...

Chris has been overwhelmed with his "how many test pilots can I get in this car" contest and I figured he'd be too distracted to think about it right now. and another

Maybe we can get a team Lat-g/PT or Team Camaro going one of these years!! Running the OLoA is on my bucket list as well and I'd love to do it in my car or participate in some way one of these years. At the very least maybe we'd get a discount on shipping multiple cars from CA back east

That's what we're doing for shipping this year... Catching a ride with a Ferrari F-something-or-other and a slightly insane Nissan GTR. It will help with the shipping - at least a bit.

It would be awesome to get more board members out to OLoA and the Silver State. SSCC is even set up for a Team competition as it is and I know that there are a couple of board sponsors that would be all over something like that. On fact the invitation has been there for a while... Just no takers. With more cars getting finished though, maybe it will happen - hope so!

I have had the Silver State on my to-do list since I was in high school. Would be awesome to get a few of us over there and many of us around here aren't that far away.
