Steve, based on the word from The Summer Run, I hope your navigator is not named Garmin.......... Actually, I am heading out today to LG for a long weekend with the Cobra.

I thought this rally was old school, no GPS? That should be an advantage . Old school maps would have worked much better. It was a TomTom btw

I do not believe I have met you before so you don't fall into that catagory yet. The other ones know who they are.

GPS......yeah right!

There are only two things that a GPS would be good for:
1. Finding the shortest way back to the food at the Moose or your home.
2. Providing ambient light as you read the directions when it starts getting dark out since Cobras don't have dome lights.

I'm bringing it solely for option 1. As previously posted, we're gunning for the MD trophy . Due to some "events", I might have some fodder for future MD trophys, Sean. Mostly suspension parts.
Oh, check's finally in the mail.

John we always accept carnage donations for MD creations.

We checked the Gumb-ALS sundial and it looks like just under one week to go.

Caravan out west?

Anyone have any thoughts about a group heading out together?
I am assuming many from the east will be heading out the Mass Pike.

Ron,
9:00 sounds good to me.
I have not been at the Rtes. 90/20/146 area in quite some time. Where is the carpool lot located?
Thanks.

if you get of 90 at 146/20 It is to the left a bit, if you get off and head to route 20 it will be right there, you will see it.

Sean,

Ellie and I are looking forward to the GumbALS again!! My car is giving me some "hot start" issues.... hopefully, I will have it ironed out by Saturday. If not, my car might look suspiciously like a VW. My check is on its way.
