Brendan is the drivetrain engineer at Honda US race team HQ, running the Acura&#8217;s in ALMS series and at Le Mans. So when you watch the ALMS series and see the Acuras&#8217; kicking butt, know that that is Brendan&#8217;s work, along with a team of course. Brendan is an early Datsun afficiando, having an early 510 wagon and 240Z at his house.<\/p>\n<p>We are now somewhere in Utah, a small town called Richfield, and with 550 miles down, and 510 to go to get to Colorado Springs we will be on the road again tomorrow. Right now, we are off to have dinner and a cold tall beer&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>On the road again&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"twttr_buttons\"><div class=\"twttr_twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Meadesports+-+Pikes+Peak+2010+-+Hitting+the+Road\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"\" data-hashtags=\"\" data-lang=\"en\" data-size=\"default\" data-url=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/16\/118\/\"  data-related=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"pntrst_main_before_after\"><div class=\"pntrst-button-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\" data-pin-custom=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\"><img data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"pntrst-custom-pin\" src=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-buttons-pack\/bws-pinterest\/images\/pin.png\" width=\"60\"><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/16\/118\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"standard\"  width=\"450px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button  \" data-href=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/16\/118\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their rental truck\/buy a beater truck plan fell through and Jeff was getting ready to drive the car to Pikes Peak and rough the weekend without a truck and trailer.
