    It's a 10 or 12 hour trip from Speed Week to Denver CO.
    By Evanston WY we need a rest. Not wanting truck stop food we drive into town. We pass a Ford one ton 1928 truck in a parking lot. But continue on to find some goodfood in a local deli.
    My partner in crime just bought an original 1929 Ford Model A . He says lets go back and look at the truck. We go back and it turns out it is a raffle for a local charity. $50 a ticket. I tell my partner if you win it we have to drive back to Evanston. We are going back next Tuesday. He won the truck LOL.
