GPZList Digest, Vol 66, Issue 1

[Charles Scappaticci]

Randy,

Ron's van was an old short wheelbase Ford Aerostar.  He did have both
front seats installed, but no rear seat.  Another early lister, Earl
Whitmore, came to the first Durango rally with two bikes in his full
sized Chevy van.  He had them effectively hung from the ceiling in the
van and tied to the floor as well so there was no way they were moving
in the event of a sudden maneuver.

Charles S.
