Thanks to those for the votes -- but, thanks to all those folks that helped make the effort happen in the first place. In the mid sixties, you could prepare and even drive your VW bug to Bonneville from Iowa, like Tom Bruch did, only to find out that most people put their car on a "trailer" and pulled it there to race. Those days aren't completely over, there are still a few out there that drive to a track, unload and convert to race configuration, then camp or squat for a few days to test man and machine.
Finding out the reality of how difficult the journey really is in preparation for technical inspection, traveling no matter how far it is, and then surviving the week long event is not just a team effort, it is teamwork. So, the real thanks are to the well over 60 vendors, and stakeholders, putting up with this crazy idea, and then seeing it through. I lost track of the number of times I could have said, "it's over".....once I figured out that "it's never over" then it all became clear. A hopeless sickness with no cure, the quest to overcome technical and natural obstacles is just the given. Thanks to all you guys and gals that made it possible to jump out of a truck pulling the car to take that photo on the way to try to do something never done before........
