Mike, Matthew, & Martin, I am glad to hear you guys arrived home
safely. 

Robert Dupree and I had a STUNNING drive down highway 82 over 
Independence Pass and then down 69 out to I25 south of Pueblo.
Unbelievable drive with fast and fun twisty roads, and absolutely
on the top of my list as one of the most beautiful drives in 
the states.   Everyone should put this on their must-do list.
I'm so jealous of the Colorado contingent!

I have some in-car video of all the Urqs on parade at the track,
which I will post later after I get settled.  My thanks to those
of you who worked so hard to put this together.  It was worth all
2700 miles of driving! 

My highlights:

(1) Colorado is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous
(2) Pulling into the hotel parking lot Friday night and seeing
    more Urqs in one place than I will ever see sum-total in the
    rest of my life
(3) Listening to Karl's stories, particularly leading to the Viton
    o-rings
(4) After-party in the parking lot involving EFI, beers, and cops
(5) Putting faces to names I've known a long time
(6) Exploding center differentials
(7) Urq25 trivia, and the resulting arguments!

Later,
Eric
'82 urq - back safe and sound, deep in the heart of Texas
