About five minutes after Rachael arrived, Larry Larson rolled in with the S-10, and the place went nuts. Larry was thrashing to get the truck in race mode, Lutz was putting the head back on his, and what Lohnes later called "The craziest half hour in ten years of Drag Week" was about to commence, and we were right smack dab in the middle of it...not that anyone actually noticed...but it was real enough to us!

The Belvedere, in addition to needing the trans cable changed, seemed to be leaking water from several different hose clamps, and locations.
"What's the deal with the water leaks, Rachael?"
"Well, we overheated it pretty bad, back when we were with Boone and Darren. They pulled over to add fuel, and charge the battery on the Dakota, and I stopped behind them, but left the Belvedere running, because it was stuck in Drive. Then after a while, steam started coming out of the hood!"
"Great, then what happened..."
"Boone had me shut it off, then he added water, then he told us to go on without them...that was about fifty miles ago!"
"And she drove it like she stole it all the rest of the way here!" Dad added, as he shook his head.
