Well, it is almost time to go. The trailer is (was) loaded, coolers 
ready to be filled and truck fueled (F250 PS, Big Hoss 85 HP chip, trans 
COmmand, big  exhaust - there that should cover the truck list). Got a 
call a couple of days ago, National Geographic is sending a film crew to 
watch me get ready to go to the salt with the world's fstest sunbeam 
(wannabe). So I had to  unloaad the car and make room for the stuff in 
the trailer so I could get around.  NG will  be here filming between 9 
and 11 when they have to head back to Las Vegas to  catch a flight out 
for the Salt. I think they will be following the car at the raceway. 
SUpposed to be a film coming out one day, but who knows. Will reload all 
the  other stuff back into the trailer this afternoon, hook up and lift 
off at 4 am in the morning. It is about 400 plus miles from beautiful 
downtown PAhrump to Wendover, but I am figuring an all day tow (heavy). 
I have a spare CPS and enough wrenches to repair anything on the truck 
or trailer. I have 20 gallons of high octane race gas, 79 gallons of 
diesel in the truck but thinking about another 10 race gas and 10 
diesel. I am of course carrying way to much to the salt. I will check my 
mail on the road and will send any pertinent updates.

Wish us luck....
