Skip the rest stop.
After the title has been wrested from the folks at Fokowee, there's an
autocross at the Boeing facility in Lake Charles, 10 miles from Hooters, 11
AM Sunday. Route 94 off of 370.
See the map: Parking lot 598 at the top left corner of the map.

10 hours down from Minneapolis, 24 hours of rally, an autocross, and back
to work on Monday. We don't need no stinkin' rest stop.

Subject: 0dd Traffic Warning for Midwest US
Warning -
Strange traffic patterns are predicted for the Midwest centering on St.
Louis
this weekend as Team Fokowee returns to defend their title as last years
winners of the Missouri (or Misery) Endurance Rally. Rumour has it the
Fokowee
car this year is equipped with driving lamps and deer whistles front and
rear.
Rumours that Whereda and Howda have installed a unique 10 speed gearbox - 5
forward and 5 reverse - could not be verified. Further rumours point to
this
being actually a top secret development project for a joint project between
General Motors and MG for a new model to be designated the "MG-GM
Palindrome",
a car concept based on the original design of the frogeye Sprite that will
be
the same coming or going.
So if you see an MG proceeding backwards at speed with two grinning
occupants
- wave to Team Fokowee. The fourth running of the Missouri Endurance will
start this Saturday morning from the now traditional car park at the
Hooters
Westport in St. Louis. The Bomber Brothers report MR BILL3 is prepared and
will hopefully improve on last years accomplishment of getting home without
use of a trailer and actually finish the whole rally which we had to retire
from last year when the gearbox became balky at the start of Day 2 due to
running dry from a bad front seal.
If the recent hints of Spring have stirred you, take the time to read David
Darby's great account of the 1997 MER at
<http://www.mgb.bc.ca/mgz/moenduro.html> and consider coming out to join
us.
It's a great time on great MG roads. We had the
time of our lives playing follow-the-leader on twisty roads in southern
Missouri with Team Fokowee last year and look forward to it all again. The
format is going to be a bit different this year as it will be run as a
straight through 24 hour plus format with 6 hours allowed for a rest stop
at
the competitors option. This rather than the double 12 format of past
years.
We look foward to seeing everyone there.
