Maybe a visit to the SmartUSA headquarters.... Some Smart Car games like the old chineese fire drill , fastest car wash, Quickest body panel change, I'm sure we can come up with more....

OK maybe we should get through this year first.

Reminds me of this little get together I attended a few years back in this little hick town Waconia MN. They now (17 years later) have the largest showmobile show in the country. It all started when a bunch of snowmobilers got together at a bar for the weekend. This last year, they had a trail ride with over 650 sleds in attendance,

The GPX can only transmit on the first two FRS channels (#1 or #2). I thought we are using channel 4 at the rally. It will work fine if you want to
use one yourself and the other to a friend at the rally to keep in touch. It has a limited range of one mile and two miles if the conditions are good.
Hope this helps, see you in the Dell's.

Repairing electronics for 35 years and a good search engine (Google) helps.

OK Folks
We have a Gallery spot on hold just waiting for the first tecno geek to post from the road.
Midwest Rally WI Dells 09 - Smart Car of America Gallery

Right now its empty, but I expect plenty of pics their bu sunday night.

Since this gallery wasn't available when Suze posted her Yellowstone photos I copied a couple over into it. She just posted another one from Sturgis which could go into the gallery also.

Big Panda · 06-09-2009, 05:27 PM

Suze is a "tecno geek"? I thought she was a girl......

Suze · 06-09-2009, 05:46 PM

Ah, you guys are swell! I could fill the entire gallery - but what fun would that be for the rest of you?

Panda, you're right - I am a girl that makes me a Geekette.

Shout our to Jefferios!!! Jeff - what the heck is with the weather? since I think of you as the official meteorologist of SCOA, I gotta ask - when will I see some summer weather on this "summer road trip"?? And as a secondary Q - is the sky really bigger in Montana? If so, why? (Sure seems big!)

jefferios · 06-09-2009, 07:28 PM

I understand you concern Suze, no worries though by Thursday it should be in the 70s around here and it should be in the lower 70's while we are in the Dells on Saturday. But there may be an afternoon shower it looks like at this point.
