9/10/2011: Cousin George Krem just finished final preparation and detailing The Plain Brown Wrapper's R3 for The 2011 Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race.
He snapped this photo of the R3's engine bay just before buttoning it up for the trip east and sent it along this morning. 'No need for this to be a PM; 'lookin' good:
As I replied to him, who could have possibly imagined all this in July 1964, over 47 years ago, when he and I were in the dusty, fenced, gravel storage lot behind Studebaker of Indianapolis, perusing more than 1% (that would be three, by actual count) of the 274 64V-F2s produced, forlornly cooking in the hot midwest summer sun some eight-odd months after being "born," waiting to be adopted?

George and "The Colorado Contingent" (He, Butch Lundstedt, and Steve Doerschlag) are leaving central Colorado Sunday or Monday to return with the same 1964 F-Bodied Studebakers they brought to the event last year.
Eastbound and Down: Make way on I-80 for this rig:
(Yes, The Stude Tomato will also be arriving via the same "private" conveyance shown above.)
See y'all soon! BP
