      In the mid 80's when I was racing Pro Rally, the Carson City event was a major event for us. We were able to race the Virginia City Hillclimb as part of that event and let me tell you, it is not for the timid. One of the greatest things you can do with your car. Wish my car was ready cuz I'd be there in a heart beat!

      Dam, that sounds cool. I will be extremely disappointed if my engine doesn't get back in time.

      My motor wont be in Indiana until the 15th. Thats 7 days. Dont know why its taking so long to get there. It only took 3 days to get to me form Indiana.

      It's going to suck to have to put motor in after work but I think I am going to make it to the 341.

      Yeah I hear ya. For us it isn't having a car, it is taking the time off work. I need to plan my vacations in advance so for this to miss a Thursday, Friday now is a little last minute. And for an event like this I don't want to be rushed. Hopefully we can make it happen next time.

      Picked up motor from Shipping terminal today. I'll be working on getting car ready every night after work. At this point looks like I'm gonna make it to Virginia City, crossing my fingers.

      Thanks, I just got somebody to cover my work on Thursday, so that gives me an extra day off. Things are shaping up for the better as far as getting my car back together in time.

      Motor and tranny are in and I'm taking a break now. Sill need to install crossmember, drive shaft, hook up oil lines, install radiator, alternator, power steering pump, shifter, fill her with oil and water, remove distributor, prime engine, install distributor, fire her up, and set timing.

      If all is good with car, I gotta pack and google Virginia City.

      OK, stomach's gurgalin', time for lunch.

      I cant begin to express how sorry I am for your sisters and your loss. My prayers will go out to you.

      Probably best to talk to Jimi day.

      here is the official release from Spectre 341 Challenge:

      "After two days of fun and excitement, the 341 Challenge suffered a
      tragedy when VRAlexander was killed in an accident when he went off course. Out of respect for his grieving family please refrain from
      participating in hearsay and speculation. This is a very sad turn of
      events, but he was pursuing his dream. Please send your thoughts and prayers to his family during this trying time."
