Friday Sept 19, 2014, Glasgow - leave from here 2-3pm (tentative time, but gonna be close to that), from Ezzies West end Conoco
Great Falls - arrive, 7pm, Eat and fuel (probably around dinner time) Suggest stopping at the Town Pump near the fair grounds (505 NW Bypass
Great Falls, Mt 59404), fuel and food stops. Take interstate to Helena
Helena - arrive 9pm, cruise, hard park, hang out, get a hotel room. we are suggesting near this intersection in Helena. It's near hotels, food, and is on the road to the airport where we'll race later in the day Saturday. Here's the Town Pump and intersection information. goo.gl/maps/8XJXC

9am drivers meeting, should be on course by 9:45 (bring closed toe shoes, snell2000 or newer helmet) and make sure your battery is mechanically held well in place, no bungee cords.
They figure we could each get as many as 8 or more runs in, and if time, $1 runs later in the day. Should be plenty of track time. Likely leave around 4-5pm.
we get to do stuff like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jg-ckVxOpU
Anaconda Head out between 4-5pm travel to dragstrip, 95 miles through the mountains on I15, around Butte, Here is the MAP from Helena to the dragstrip. goo.gl/maps/9WBnW
They race under the lights and could be there as late as 10-10:30pm. I think most of us want a single pass, eat some track food and head back to Helena
Anaconda - 1/8 mile drag racing (Lost Creek Raceway, 595 Galen Rd, Anaconda, Mt 59711) Should arrive around 10am. racing starts at 11am. 1-2 passes (depends on what we are all feeling) and hit the road back to Helena. Bring good helmet, long sleeve shirt, etc. Don't expect to race in flip-flops and football helmet. be prepared.
Arrive Back in Helena maybe 9-9:30pm so we can cruise town a bit on Saturday night.
Sunday, Sept 21, 2014. Leave Helena 9am from Town pump.
take some crazy mountain back road to Lincoln Montana, check out their annual Rod run. possible arrival 10:30am
Lincoln - car show and rod run visitmt.com/listing/categories_NET/MoreInfo.aspx?IDRRecordID=13810
Chill in Lincoln for a few hours, hit the road for Great Falls and Glasgow.
Should we find ourselves in Malta early enough... it's "POSSIBLE" we could make a drag pass there... which would be epic. but I feel if we leave Lincoln at perhaps noon, it would be 5pm when we hit Malta. I checked with Malta's track manager John Carnahan. He says to have me text him if we are close to Malta and they'll stick around just for us to make a pass or two... within reason, say 30 minutes. So we have that going for us.
We get home, Free Barbecue at Bob and Lori Stormer's place to celebrate an epic weekend. Bring your own beverages. another Epic Power Tour in the books!
