WCBF 2009 Begins.........new PAGE 9 PICS (lots of 'em)

[willwren]

Busy day.....arrivals today were the Jshelton54's (4) and the Bugsi's (4). Not sure how many cars and people now, but probably about half expected? 3 more cars coming from Idaho, another from Canada......3 from Washington still due.


Starting off with a wreck on 34 while Lisa and I were heading back out the KOA to greet the arrivals:



Me and Adam Bugsi right after freeing him from his prison cell (Mom's Grand Prix):



Bugsi (Mark) being firmly lectured by Andrew (Note the I'M NOT DEAD YET shirt he was wearing for his trip to the ER shortly after this shot):



Mrs. Bugsi (Heidi):



Dex looking for snacks:



Matt and Margaret:



John and Jordan:



Lisa and Bugsi (post-hospital shot):



Jared Shelton:



More Peepo:



Mr. Serious (Jordan/VBCspangler) again:



Dex still looking for snacks:


Matt and John/Margaret have MUCH better pics. I'll bug 'em again.

Awesome to see some more arrivals.

Hi, Mark and family and Jared and family

And like Mattski, said, I wish I was there, badly. I didn't realize how much I would miss being there and seeing eveyone until the meet starts the pictures start getting posted.

It sure feels strange to be so far away from someplace I have been used to being at for the last 4 years, and now, just watching it unfold on the computer.

P.S. Good to see Thomas and family made it as well, since I have YET to get a phone call from him

Last night was still pretty mellow when I went to bed @ 11:30 or so. Up a little little earlier than I wanted to be with the time change. think I'll go unload thecar and see if I can get it running a bit better.

[willwren]

Jared, I'm up and around, so if you need anything here, get directions and come on by. Wash it here and do your oil change. I have to have my car at the audio shop by 9, but other than that, I'll be here.

Rumours are that I have a bunch of good pix, not true. I do have a few, here are some of them.

The boss and his main squeeze:


Courtenay and Dex:

Jared (Jshelton54) just spun a rod bearing........looking for a motor. Things might get busy here real quick.

[2000Silverbullet]

You are kidding!

That is going to turn the event into a motor swap weekend.

Get at it then. You have two whole days. Try and beat Boosty's record.

What was he doing and what size pulley was he running at the time?

[willwren]

Car ran like crap before he left, bad tune, 6000' elevation change. He pulleyed UP just before the bearing went.

He's shopping for a motor. We'll have to swap heads (stage 3), can't remember if he has ARP studs and MLS gaskets or not, but we'll get it done in time to race if he finds a suitable donor. As soon as he does, we'll pull out my hoist and get the tools ready.

[Pontiacdad]

Whoa sorry to hear about bugsi's heath scare and now Jared's rod bearing.
One more afternoon shift and I'm free for the meet
I'll be leaving in the morning and hope to hit the KOA by 2 or 3ish.

[willwren]

If he finds a motor, we'll race your arrival against the swap!

[tpulliam79]

well youll have two more hands to help by tomorrow ... for me the cars come before the coast

[willwren]

Motor won't arrive until tomorrow morning from Portland. L36 bottom end failed, L67 going in.

Shelton family drove the SUV to the Coast for the day/overnight, we start the swap tomorrow afternoon (Thursday). We'll work as late as we need to.

count me in

[willwren]

I figured.

Matt, John, and I are prepping the operating room for surgery today.

[2000Silverbullet]

Darn it! I missed another motor swap!

Looks like the Coast run will be only for those who don't want greasy hands.

I would have also chosen the swap over the Coast run.

[willwren]

Drama continues......Keven and Celin are in LaGrande OR, her car stalled with a MAF code. They're getting cleaner for it, and will try to run disconnected if that doesn't work.

Please note that the BONNEVILLE under Keven's is the car that is running the rescue.

[GoldenBullet]

The cars are dropping like flys

[tpulliam79]

The cars are dropping like flys

timing may not be that good but I would think the best place to break down ( if there is one ) would be wcbf as all the knowledge and tools are there

[2000Silverbullet]

......and the racing has yet to begin!

[Echo SSEI]

Yikes! I log off to get some real paying work done, only to log back in and find this

Sorry I can't be there to help take care of my Pontiac Bonneville Club families

I know you guys will get everything done, but if you need me to look stuff up or anything, I am only a phone call or text away.
