$70 a night in a nice hotel during race week! Don't let the Bolivians talk to the Casino owner in Wendover! Looks like a nice hotel to boot.

The Bolivia event is on unfortunately Jamie Williams who has paid the 20K entry fee can not he has most generously donated it to the event Erin Stills and Ralph Hudson have a 40 foot container going that Jamie was going to ship in. The cost split 3 ways would be about 4K. If someone else is interested in going you should call Jamie Williams and see if he is willing to let you run at a reduced cost using his entree.

Yea but their shop is cleaner and better manned

I'll bet your labor rate is cheaper.

Yea, probably... although one of my satisfied customers did send me a bottle of 21 year old Bushmills as well as sending Linda a couple bottles of really nice wine for making gourmet dinners while they were here.  

Waiting for you to bring the car down Ron

Sure hope he is flying Dan
That mobile hypobaric chamber sure feels good after the first night at altitude in LaPaz

I heard this is a rumor and the car is under way. Jim has a GPS tracking system on it.

Not to be too picky I think you mean Hyperbaric.    When we were in Cusco (11000 ft or so) last year in a nice hotel they were piping oxygen into the bedroom. Nice.


Glad to hear Knapp is going. He has sort of stopped communicating.
