Well ok that sucked... was well on my way to Mesa for the cruise early this morning and just as I was about to hit the 17 south from from the 69 outta Prescott Valley I glanced down at my Temp. It was pegged into the RED. So I scoot across the bridge to the gas station were the Water/Air station is. Steam came billowing out from under the hood as soon as I stopped. Fearing to shut it down just yet I popped the hood and start pumping water into the over flow bottle and looking around. I couldn't believe it. The damn short piece of hose that connects from the water pump to the heater bypass on thermostat housing split. Not too big but enough to allow a good trickle of coolent to make a big mess.
Had no choice to limp it back to Prescott Valley stopping 3 times along the way to put more water in it. 'course by the time a parts store opened so I could replace the hose you guys were well on cruise. Hope ya'll had fun and wish I coulda been there. :(

That would be great! Thanks.
Not sure. I just asked for the registration sheets, and I think the judging forms were with them. I'll let you know if I get them.

Cool. Is there any way I can get a CD, or a copy of it? I will pay for it if need be. And of course a copy of the judging sheet
