That was CalScot, IanScot, Wayne McManus and I. We were there for 2 days. Dang, we coulda met up. Pocts will be coming, just started in on them. Took over 4K on this trip. (Plan on maybe 5 out of a 100 being good to publish. When in doubt I just clicked. :) )

You can say that again!  Geez... you didn't even aim half the time.

Yeah but my non-aiming is better than most peoples deliberate aim... :)


Not! But some of them should be good. Most of the way through Cars & Coffee now. Will upload first batch later today (it's past 1am and I'm going to crash).

I busted my cheuchters to organize the WCA stuff. I had no time to take a single picture. Instead I relied on Driver to memorialize the trip. Now I am patiently awaiting the results.

If anybody has some good pictures please post. I am now getting over the exhaustion and it would be nice to see some more pictures.

One thing I do not think we got pictures of was Wayne using his Atom to tow mine to start it. It could be the first ever Atom towing an Atom?
We used a few connected tie downs to tow mine to get it started so we could drive around lake Tahoe. Not a bad little tow vehicle those Ecotec's ;D

I had my Nikon in hand but had to set it dwon when the strap came loose. I'll vouch for it though. As far as the picts between you and bolus I'm trying. I've uploaded about 150 so far to the Gallery. Working through them chronologically...

Not the first towing.  I towed another Atom in mine for 18 miles was it EB?  There were a few hairy mo's on the freeway and Staet Patrol actually had beady eyes glued to us for a while and I thought for sure we'd be pulled over.  Didn't happen and we managed. Most of those were highway miles at 60+ mph.  A 30 foor nylon tow rope bought for the occasion.
