IS WOW!!!!!!!! WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE DAY! WE GOT TO THE PETERSON MUSEUM YESTERDAY MORNING TO UNLOAD THE CARS. AFTER UNLOADING AND WHILE WAITING FOR KEITH AND BOB TO COME BACK FROM GETTING THE CARS WASHED, I GOT TO MEET DICK MESSER, THE DIREXTOR OF THE MUSEUM. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CARS AND THE RALLY WHEN THE GT40 SUBJECT CAME UP. PETERSON MUSEUM HAD JUST PURCHASED GT40 #1105 AT THE BARRETT JACKSON AUCTION. THAT CAR WAS ONE OF SEVEN ORIGINAL STREET CARS. IT WENT FOR A STEAL AT 295,000.

THEN THE OTHER CARS STARTED TO ARRIVE TO BE BADGED FOR THE RUN...LAMBORGHINIS, MERCEDES, BMW'S, PORSCHES, LOTUS, VIPERS...ALL ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CARS. SOME OF THE NICEST PEOPLE ANYONE COULD MEET FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

DRIVERS MEETING STARTED LATE AT 6:00 WITH APPETIZERS AND COCKTAILS AT THE TOP OF THE MUSEUM. THE ROUTE STARTS TODAY FOR LAS VEGAS, HRERE WE WILL RACE AND THEN SPEND THE NIGHT.

THE ROUTE IS NOW SET. VEGAS, PHOENIX, SAN ANTONIO, NEW ORLEANS, DAYTONA BEACH AND THEN TO MIAMI.

MET ROLAND LINDER, TWO TIME LEMANS WINNER AND HE HAS OFFERED ME A RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN HIS FERRARI F40 WHEN WE GET TO THE TRACK. I CAN'T WAIT.

GO TO THE RPM SITE AND WATCH THE FUN. MORE TO COME TONIGHT.
