Default Colorado comes to The Glen

Once again we've put together a budget transporter like we did for Sebring in 07!

That's right, picture a car hauler that typically hauls Buicks taking twelve race cars from Denver to Watkins Glen. Some have never been there (me) a few have.

I know some of you East Coasters still wonder if we've got electricity out west but I'm here to tell you I get the NY Times in my driveway every Sunday morning.

Just wondering, what's the exchange rate for beaver pelts to Hoosiers this year?

That is so cool. Hopefully Buckley Racing can get something like that going in the future. See you in Topeka.

Any pics of it loaded? I bet there were a lot of little kids in the backs of cars on the way that will start yelling about them. I know I would have.

Look out East Coasters

Those guys had never been to Sebring, and Kicked Butt.

And they were a lot of fun besides.

Have fun Jess and company

Sounds like fun...but I think the Glen has a tad more terrain change than Sebring...

I think Colorado has a tad more elevation change than New York and New Jersey combined.

I'm warning you, those guys are seriously fast...

I'd absolutely love to. Unfortunately, that is about them time we are moving the rest of our household from Illinois to Wyoming.

There's still a slight chance I could get there, but it's very slight.

I may not be back on track til Road America.

We've got plenty of terrain but far less Armco! We're still in this mode out here but I think we can adjust to your gently rolling hills.

Mike thanks for the very kind words. I hope you can make it, you had some very good advice for us at Sebring.

See you all soon,

Jess (on right), Bob and friends

Here's a couple of the loading process. I don't have any going down the highway.

We east coasters are always looking for more fodder, I mean competitors . I warn you, the armco forrest is intimidating and does not give up her secrets easily.
