I'll be madly working on my Baja, going to a wedding and getting a cord of firewood. Sadly, I dont have time.   :undecided:

I just returned from Volkfest. They gave me the award for longest distance travelled and the "hard luck" award since no one could top my story of running out of gas on the way there.

It was a little soggy Saturday night which impacted the turnout numbers. Nice little show, good people and loads of casual fun. ( the poker run was really fun)

I had an issue with some noise coming from the rear drivers side rotor. I stopped and found it was really hot again. I pumped the brakes a few times and gave the e-brake a few yanks.  By the time I got home both sides were running cool. I will check it out later this week.

I really suck at remembering to take pics.  I have some video from the Poker Run that I shot from the camera I mounted on the roof rack and wired to my carputer, ummm I mean laptop.  :driving:

One cool thing they do is create custom awards for each class.

Longest Drive Award


Hard Luck Award for running out of gas two miles from my house....

I can't imagine any more hard luck than the folkswerks guys having to leave Rusty on the side of the road with a blown motor... :flamethrower:

True - they would have certainly won the award if they were still around at the time of awards.
