Oh! And HUGE thanks to Dale O for being a "driving machine" to haul us NorCal guys to + from the contest. Believe it or not, he drove a full ELEVEN+ hours straight through last night with some incredibly challenging wind conditions. I think he had to hold left rudder in for almost the whole drive, and that Sprinter presents a massive profile to the wind. I don't think I've ever seen wind power generators spinning that fast... I'm pretty sure I would have dropped due to fatigue after just a few hours of driving in that wind!

Despite the amazing lack of damage to the Angel's shadow after the deadstick takeoff, I think Dale's Karma bank still has a significant positive balance! :-)
