Well, the A-Team is home again. I am finally updating the blog. For those of you who have been following this, our last update had us still in Oklahoma. After several trips back and forth to Tulsa at 10:00 pm Wednesday we were back underway. There was not enough time to catch up at Virginia so we headed to Beaver Run Pennsylvania.

We are still here in Blackwell OK. The good news is the parts we need have been fed ex'd to us. We pick them up tomorrow morning at the Tulsa airport. Gary at Bobs's transmission in Ponca City Ok. is pulling out the bad parts as I write this. The next time you are in Ponca City stop and say Hi to Gary and his crew they have been an incredible help to us while here. It looks like we will be back on the road tommorow morning and heading out for Virginia to get back in this thing. Hello to everyone…

Well we made it! We arrived in South Bend with a full half hour to spare. We had planned to leave Bend Or. around 2:00pm Tuesday. After several delays with finishing the car we managed to leave at 10:00pm Wednesday night. Forty one hours later here we are. There have been a couple of glithches with the car, and with some of our gear but all in all it looks like we can finally get some sleep and get under way tommorow. See you all in the A.M.

What's the status of the transmission problem?
Glad you got there safely. Spoke to Gordon this morning and just want to wish you two guys a great race. Go smoke 'em but not on the main drag. We don't want you to get disqualified. Stay safe and the best of luck in the race.
