WE WOKE UP AFTER ME GOING TO BED AT JUST BEFORE 3:00 TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST PLAN. WE MET FOR BREAKFAST AND DECIDED THAT WE WOULD DROP OUT OF THE RALLY FOR THE DAY AND GO TO PHOENIX TO TRY TO REPAIR THE VETTE. WHILE WE WERE TALKING AND WAITING FOR THE FIRST DRIVERS MEETING OF THE DAY, MY FRIEND HERSCHAL (BT. SNAKE) CALLED ON THE CELL PHONE RESPONDING TO MY POST AND ASKED WHAT WE NEEDED AND HE WOULD MAKE IT WORK. WITHIN 5 MINUTES GORDON LEVY CALLED AND GAVE ME HIS CELL PHONE AND OFFERED THE SAME....TOUGH CHOICE THERE. IF SOME BABE HAD CALLED THERE WOULD BE NO QUESTION.

WE HEADED TO HERSCHALS DUE TO THE LIFT CAPABILITIES HE HAD.

WHILE WE WERE ON THE ROAD, WE KNEW THAT WE WERE MISSING OUT ON THE BOAT RACES PLANNED ON LAKE MEAD AND THE HELICOPTER RIDES PLANNED FOR US IN THE GRAND CANYON.

TOMORROW, WE TAKE THE VETTE TO EXTREME MOTOR SPORTS HERE TO BE REPAIRED AND THEN MEET UP WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP AT (FORGIVE THE SPELLING, A AM REALLY TIRED) BONDURAUNT. FROM THERE WE DRIVE OVERNIGHT TO SAN ANTONIO. THAT IS THE ENDURANCE PART OF THE RALLY. ABOUT 14 HOURS.

WE OFFER SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS HERE.

WE WERE ALSO PRIVILEDGED TO SEE HERSCHAL'S GT40 AND HIM DOING BURNOUTS ON HIS LONG DRIVEWAY. I REALLY NEED TO GET TO WORK ON OURS. HERSCH I AM JEALOUS!!!

WELL, TIME FOR BED. MORE TO COME AS WE MAKE THIS TRIP'
