Yellow shirt gang was no where to be found in the middle of nowhere, parked along a country road with no cell service. I was the one who became disabled, just after chasing down a fellow WCCC member who saw free road ahead of him and kept going rather than turning! The group we were with responded better than a pit crew and had me running in less than 15 minutes.

In the end, we did not need the jumper cables. Heck, we probably just needed the crimp tool, cause if we knew that Keith was going to take the full current from the coil wire later in the weekend, we probably would not have disconnected the battery for him to work on the coil wire.

Yes, there are great memories, and this is why my wife supports me comming back each year. Although she has mandated that I must hit 100 on the radar board next year or she may force me to sell the car.

Bulletbrown,
You're bringing a tear to my eye! We all had a great time and I have photo's of many of these opportunities that you have highlighted. Unfortunately, they are not digital so I will look forward to bringing them with me to our next get together. Thanks again for the great Bananna Cream Pie and have a great and safe 4th!
