You going to make it to the B100 this year? Should be BIG FUN this time around. Jeff and I are looking to make up for not even getting to the start line last weekend at the NORC.

and for anyone that might be on the fence about doing an ORR event this is a good one to hit. Great host hotel and the start line is only 2 miles away. Lots of fast cars and good people.

Our tow rig blew the coolant crossover line in the McDonalds parking lot on the way to the start line sunday morning. No way to get to the start line so no racey for us. We managed a ride to the start line to watch the big dogs run but no dice for us. Its better to be stuck in Ely with options than out in the desert with no options.

Richard Hille lost a oil line 5 miles in and if we would have run, we would have been the fastest car on the course, hands down. Glad we have a friend in Ely because we had to put a band aid on the tow rig and leave the race car and trailer in Ely. It wouldnt have made it home hauling the race car.

Probably running 160 or 170 at the B100.

Boyce,

You shoulda rolled that bad bitch out of the trailer at McD's, changed the tires and driven it to the start.

I threw that idea on the table and said I could put a 5 gallon jug of race gas in my lap. But since its 50 miles to the start line from Ely and cops are out and about on race day it wasnt a good idea to put the corvette on the road. Even if we made it to the start line and finished the race, its 150 miles back to Ely and there is no race gas at the truck stop. I tried to think of anything to get us to the line. But better judgement prevailed and we watched everyone else have fun.

Watched your video and laughed my ass off about "Olive Oil". Jane Barker DOES look like her!

Boyce,

That was my son Michael driving and cutting up. He is Security Force, Tech Sgt., at Keesler AFB right now. One of my nightmares is driving all the way to one of these events and having the car go down. I lost an Opti in RROR last year, got a new one air freighted in and managed a 1st in 145. Was it worth all that expense and hassle? Probably not. But if you put a pencil to this, it doesn't make sense anyway.

I hate to miss the B100 but now that Gamblers is a go, I am sorely tempted. I really want to run that course.

you all be safe!

Frick! It changes it regardless of how I bracket it. Here is a bit of trivia. Vicksburg,MS does not celebrate July 4th. That is the day they surrendered to the Union forces that had laid siege to the city for months.
