Sorry Bruce. I really thought it was on Friday. I was even going to go on a scouting run this weekend. Might still on Sunday. Saturday is struts, alignment, final check on exhaust, and maybe belly pan.

If I do go this weekend, I'll take good notes. I know it won't be work-week traffic, but still might be fun.

Didn't make the run this weekend. Going crazy getting ready for Bonneville.

Bruce, still going? I took the day off to go to the start point, but if no one is going to go, I'll either work or work on the car. Or maybe just a meet up for lunch? Or this weekend?

Mike- You going?

Anybody going?

I'm out for this event Ken. Buried with work on several cars and prepping a site for a new garage. Skid steer, gravel, and lots of sweat.

I'm planning on going. Ken, I'll definitely understand if you're not there.

Shucks, Bonneville is a VERY big deal! Getting the car prepped for that definitely rates up there on the priority list. If you do make it to the One Gallon Challenge in some fashion, I'll be glad to see you.

What time are you getting there? 9-9:30-10? It would be nice to chat for a while before the run.

I just received this from Daniel Richardson of the One Gallon Challenge:

"Hey everyone, a little change for tomorrow. *The original set up of everything on the plaza is being changed and we'll need as much room on the plaza as possible to do this so we're asking you all to show up around 3:30. *I hope this doesn't change anything for any of you and that you all can still make it."

I'm already committed to arrive in Greenfield 9 am so I'll be hanging in town for a bit.

Met up with BrucePick at the start point and hung out for about 3 hours. Bruce charged up his batteries thanks to the great people at Solar Store of Greenfield | Energy Saving Products and Services.
Had some fun watching people walk by/around my car and talked to a few who displayed some interest. Having problems up loading pics on Photobucket, but once I get it figured out, I'll get them up.

Good luck Bruce!

P.S. Got 81.58mpg on the round trip.
