I think it will work out. I sent one of my workers to the Ford dealer to help them swap my brakes on to the new housing...should get the car back in an hour or so. I am already packed and have a friend that agreed to take the day off work, so it is hurry up and wait, then get on the road. My car will be the filthiest one there after 1100 miles!! Hopefully I will have the energy after the 17 hour trip to wash it..LOL

Well, the meet and greet has already started.............I ran into Glen and Lisa ( glroy ) today on the Ferry from Vancouver Island :happy feet: . I figured anyone with a Shelby heading toward Battle Ground must be part of the Team Shelby family.

 

Nice vert Glen, she's a beauty.

Thanks Rob, I'd love to, but Marji and I are visiting with my Dad, and watching the Laker game. Do you need any help setting up tomorrow morning? I'm up and about around 6 am.

Not much left to set up. Just the tables and chairs and Chuck is coming over at 8am to help me do that. Should take only 15 minutes work.

 

Then it's party time.

joker45 and I traveled most if the way together. Met up in Anderson, ca. Played follow the leader until Portland. I peeled off and went to my moms. Too tired to even see how my car looks. I'll give a good scrub in the morning to get rid of the road crime, bugs and transmission fluid from the prius I got stuck behind coming out of Anderson.

 

See you all in the morning.

Just finished washing and detailing Jokers SS at my place. Then we jacked is SS up and adjusted his new KR mufflers so the in and out alignment was perfect on the tail pipes. It was nice having Joker and his SS in my shop tonight to pal around with.

 

Sat will be a blast. Time to get some sleep.

I don't think there is an argument there. That is some serious dedication in getting to a great party. :happy feet: the distances some of you folks are traveling is impressive. Makes my 60 miles look like a run to the corner grocery. :shrug:
