Exclamation 'Ol Edsel being prepped for the Norra 1000
My Electrical guy Dennis Hogue ( WireTec.org, Sites not up yet, I just purchased the domain name for him today & will be building him a site soon. ) sent me these pics from a shop where the Edsel was getting prepped for the race.

Glen said he passed it in the Bronco at 105 mph on the beach on the third day. He couldn't stop talking about it :-).

Edsel sounded Bad A$& flying by us. Bummer it DNFed, but glad to learn that it hadn't been wadded up like we heard at the finish. What caused the DNF?

Congrats on your effort Todd, that race was monumental and I'll never forget one minute of it!!

I saw the Edsel at the finish - did it actually break and quit somewhere??

I agree, Greg. That was an unforgettable event!

My bad if it finished, just heard it had problems, but great to hear it finished.
Still reliving all the great new memories of this amazing event.
