[Ed in Maine]

My longest trip was from Marshalltown, Iowa to Detroit, Michigan for the 1978 National Meet. Like others I also was driving a car with a newly rebuilt engine. I spend a couple of weeks driving around town and had just over 500 miles on the engine. My whole family went, wife and three kids in the back seat. That car ran perfectly. The two things I really remember was arriving into Detroit during the rush hour (it was terrifying) and the tour that went through and under the River Rouge Plant. I figure my car was within hundreds of feet from where it all began. I will never forget all those Ford employees standing on the side lines cheering us on as we drove through the plant. Oh, to be young again and be foolish!! Ed
