What a great time! Made it back to Pueblo no issues (other than running a bit hot from just north of Canon City back into Pueblo (was over 100 out)). Enjoyed camping, catching up with folks I've been on runs with before and meeting some new faces. See you guys next year!

Awesome turnout! It was great to see so many 40 variants! Thank you Bill for letting me be co-pilot for the day!

Outstanding event! I had a great time. I was shocked to see how smoky it was out there.
Ken, I’m curious to hear more about the root cause and fix for your fuel system woes. Glad to hear you made it home ok.

Turns out the fuel pump died, so nothing to do with the EFI :)

Wish I could have been there but the 40 has no oil pressure. Further digging required. Looked fun!!!

Anymore pictures of that early yellow FJ45 with the aluminum tray back? Looks rad. Same color my 65' was painted.
