Re: I 500 Coverage
Anyone knowhow the vintage class is going?
Re: I 500 Coverage
They just knocked off coverage from the Warren County Fairgrounds, the fuel stop. Not much mention of vintage at all, just the six or so that have dropped off. No mention of vintage sleds that have made it through the fuel stop, and no mention of Wade Bennett, Dave Chambers, or Joe Rainville. I guess no news is good news...

Re: I 500 Coverage
Here is what I have been told and those who can correct me, do so please.
Both Wade and Joe have made the 1st fuel stop. (There's a first lol) and report to me was "Joe was limping". My response was "Mechanical or physical"?
Report back that it was his leg. My hopes are that anyone of us wouldn't walk without a limp after that ride, so heres to hoping it's minor.
Still awaiting back from my "eyes" in the sky.

Re: I 500 Coverage
Matt,
Coverage of the race ended at 1:15 EST. Yes, poor coverage of the vintage guys again this year, I would say, worse than last year. I know I complained to both the USCC, and the host radio station, and I think others did as well.

Per Lindner-
Both are through the second fuel stop and running good. Joe currently ahead of Wade with about an Hour and a half to go.

Re: I 500 Coverage
Brian's latest report:
Wade is in too. Rainville is sore. Crashed like 3 times.
Huge day for the gang.
