Default WSCB drive to Reno.

Hi guys, here is a quick recap of the WSCB trip that Stuart and I made. We left Phoenix about 9:30 am and headed off for Wickenburg, Stuart buys gas. then Kingman, Stuart buys gas, and into Reno, Stuart buys gas. We split up there and I headed for Pahrump,NV, while Stuart went north to Beatty, NV. The next day I drove into Death Valley and met Stuart at Scotty's Junction ( no place in the middle of no where). Being the great guy that he is, he waited 1 1/2 hours for me while I was delayed by road construction and an unplanned trip into the California mountains. He sat in a lawn chair in the sun and watched the day go by - Thanks for waiting Stuart ! From there we went to Tonopah, Stuart bought gas, then into Hawthorne, Stuart buys gas, and finally into Fallon, yes, Stuart bought gas. He headed to a visit with his parents in Carson City while I drove to Reno. About 6 cars showed up at the WSCB on Thursday but boy did they arrive on Friday, there were about 60 Cobras by evening. This was a day for cleaning our Cobras and meeting people. On Saturday, we as a large group of Cobras headed about 35 miles east to a new road race course in Fernley, NV. We were assembled into groups of 20 and told that we'd do 3 pace laps at about 35 mph, yea sure, my top speed was a tad over 80 because I was behind a slower Cobra. At this time a group of Cobras from the Reno area showed up and our numbers swelled to about 90. From there we traveled to Virgina City and the Bucket of Blood Saloon,( beer and popcorn for lunch).
