Great day at Jamie"s and Parts Obsolete. Cruising north on I-5 following Craig Laughlin and Kevin Powers. Lots of traffic. I get boxed in and they get ahead of me but still in sight. Hear a noise, hear it again, generator light ignites.......fan belt. Forgot cell phone at home....gotta catch the guys....boxed in ....oil temp and cyl. temp beginning to climb........better stop....in luck, I can see the Wilsonville rest stop. Pay phone, call Craig's cell...."HELP....come back and get me". "On my way" he says. Ten minutes later he pulls in to the rest stop and hands me his cell phone. I say "what for?" He says "call your wife, I just broke my fan belt!". I say you're shi..en me, he says "no". I call. Wife arrives at rest stop 30 minutes later, laughing loudly, brings camera.......
