Just called Drew, Everyone they were expecting is there. They did some last minute work on Lou's buggy yesterday and today and are getting ready to head out to try some of the course. Said they spent a bit of time last night watching someone who broke a spindle on one of the obstackes try to get thier rig off the hill. Couple of trucks and a few winches and they finally got it out.

Said he would call back later this evening.

Sorry for the delay in posting. We've been real busy setting up and pre-running and the internet signal is pretty poor at times.

The entire support team is now onsite and at Lou's beck and call! %) ;D

Our trip out was fairly uneventful and we missed almost all the snow. We had about an hours worth though NC.

Trip stats:
2915 miles
46 hours drive time
59 hours total time including fuel, food and rest stops.
7 mpg
$2.70 average fuel price
filled up twice so far, ~200G each time.
Total rig weight 49,055 pounds with full fuel and drivers.

A few quick pics....



Go Lou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;D

Thanks everyone for supporting Lou. 49,055 is the "official" weight. Horsewpt wins the shirt with a guess of 47,650. If you didn't win you still need a shirt so goto www.oldbroncosrule.com and order one. Who knows it might be worth a mint one day when Lou is a legend like Stroppe or James Duff

WOOOOOOO.....HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never win anything! I'm happier than a pig in slop! Give 'em hell Lou, I'll wear my shirt with pride!!!

Let's hear it for Allen and all his hard work to make Lou's rig look so badass, and for puttin on this contest! As well as all the guys and girls that are at the frontlines helpin make this experience possible for Lou! That's the Bronco family for ya!

Thanks again Allen!;D

Good Luck Lou, I just ordered my shirt!!! The rest of you guys out there be careful and get back East!!

Jeff needs to buy a whole bunch of raffle tickets now at the Roundup since his luck is changing now

Be careful traveling back but I'd stay out west as long as possible. I have no idea where Drew is going to park the Volvo when he does get back. Hopefully his neighbor will dig him out a spot.

It's been a great time so far. Hammer town is HUGE!

Congrats Jeff! Now you will have a short sleeve and a long sleeve ;D

hehe, I get to see all of the orders!

Let's see if we can get a shirt purchase in every state! Hey wait, we don't even have a purchase from Lou's home town...except Allen and he don't count So far we have 12 states:

AL, AZ, CA, GA, IL, MA, NC, NH, PA, TX, VA, WA

The most in one order is 3 (2 people)

Thanks to all those that purchased! And those that will purchase! ;D

 

[allenfahey]

I now count. Drew gave me a grey shirt for doing the painting. Now I have a orange shirt on order. Now we have at least one purchase in Md.

 

[Pearlcoat]

Drew tried to post pictures last night, said it took him an hour just to post to this thread. He'll keep trying or one of the guys with an air card will post pics.

 

[Brawnko]

We are on a roll! Just added 3 states! UT, OH, and MD

Thanks Jimbo, Allen and Chris from UT-Chris bought enough for the whole family! ;D

15 states down 35 to go!

 

[Tazz]

If there is anyone on the lake bed or that is in contact with them, that could let me know if Lou recieved the care package I sent down to them. I would sure appriciate it, so far no one has bothered to confirm if everyone hooked up for the hand off.

Thanks
Dan

I initially ordered a short sleeve but after placing my order, thought I shoulda got the long sleeve. I was within a gnats eyelash of jumping back online and ordering the longsleeve in addition, but low and behold....look at me go!;D

Allen, I'll definately buy some extra tickets this year! That is as long as I can keep NGA away from them!!!

Can't wait for my shirts to get here! WEEEEEEEEEEE
