Brent,
The hauler was in Bozeman to return a car from the Going To The Sun rally. Most of the drivers took the route east of Towsend, through the canyon and then south to Bozeman, following the Shields River valley. They arrived around 5:00 or so Saturday evening and headed for home the next morning.
Jim Dolan had his 427SC; I didn't get the name of the driver of an early 289 Cobra with AC badging on the trunk. Several early Jags-XK120, 140 and 150. A couple of Ferraris', including a ratty, well-worn California. A Kurtis roadster topped the field. Scarey looking thing. An unfortunate driver woke to an icy parking lot in Idaho and slid his early 356 Carrera into a post in the parking lot. No harm to the driver but for a shattered self-image.
The rally is an annual event. Replicas are welcome although spots on the rally are limited and coveted. If you'd like to go, be sure to reserve an entry before November. The 2010 route emphasized eastern Montana. Next year's route is likley to feature the western side of the state, with a run through Glacier Park. The rally always begins and ends in Bozeman.

A beautiful car, precisely assembled. Unfortunately I don't fit. Sold it after four hundred miles. Well, at least now I know a Cobra is not a car I can own.
