heh heh heh...young-uns.  The movie was a glitzy tale but based on the real
thing...sea to shining sea.  A race across America.  the silver state 1000,
the ironbutt, the three flags, the four corners and others are based on the
pukka original.  My classmate Tom, ran a 3.08 geared 1967 Stingray in one of
the earlier races.  Never touched, he finished in the pack so to speak.
There was the moto event that went from Austin TX to a phone booth in
Sandyeggo.


First rider to call won.  Any route any moto.


Pimps and woosies run this degraded doodah mentioned in the Granola
Chronicle.  Real men won the coveted goodies in such exotic vehicles as a
GMC Motorhome long ago and way before good radar.
