One thing, incase I didn;t mntion this. Utah sucks.

Ya. That means it will be even harder for me to get a full night sleep tonight. I'm shooting for getting to ann arbor on Sunday. If we can make Omaha, Nebraska or further tomorrow, We can do it.

This town is much worse than The one last night. At least there were casinos in Nevada. Here there are 3 resturants a gas station and thats about it. O, one of the resturants has a very cute Waitress. And there is a Ferrari F1 Semi truck parked outside. I am going to go have a lok at it, but I think it might be the f1 car that was at the USGP going to the port of long beach or whatever to be shipped over to Japan or china. If it is, well then I am very excited. Or it could be the Enzo FXX car, in which case I would also be very excited. Now I just need to bribe the driver to let me look inside.

The car sounds cool either way. Didn't think there would be much there. I think the cops going the other way, turning there lights on, was to warn you. They have radar that works going in any direction now.

I'm headed to the coast early in the morning to watch Brit in her swim meet. Will be nice to get out of the heat for a day. Will be back tomorrow night to do the autocross on Sunday. Still no results posted on the last one yet.

I don;t really care about the results. I still know I beat you :P

Youre right about the cops, though. And it;s a good thing, too.

Ya. Tomorrow should be an easier drive than today, either way. Driving through Utah sucked. There were a bunch of idiots and going up steep grades doing 70 with cars 5 feet feet each of your bumpers is never fun.

I will welcome the long boring drives of the great plains.

Omaha, Nebraska. Enough said... The good news is I'm only ~650 miles from Ann Arbor. It will probably take 2 days at this point, though as my dad is tired and grumpy. Oh, boy!

I see your getting there, in one piece even.

Just got home from the coast. It was 58 in Arroyo Grande at 8:30am this morning when I arrived.

After the meet, we went and saw the Pirates movie.

Hey Brad, the results from last month's autocross are up. Since you seem to care. Are we meeting there tomorrow since there is little time to meet prior?

Yes Blake won, but he only beat me by 1-second over all, so I can live with that.

See you there. Don't forget your helmet. Fortunately, if you did, we run first so the rentals wouldn't be too disgusting.
