From Team Polizei’s very own Piloten Jon Goodrich vacationing on this year’s Players Run:
0710HR Mountain Time - Update #2 9/12/2007
Unfortunately, no Vantage in Calgary. As of 7AM, we are still not
sure if the car has arrived at the border town in Montana. We found
out late last night that the trucking companies last update said the
car would arrive ‘at the latest’ by 11AM on Wednesday.
Plan is to do the breakfast and drivers meeting, then hop in a Tahoe
to get a ride to the border. There will be a car line-up in front of
the hotel at ~9:30AM and a police escort out of town shortly thereafter.
It’s 45 degrees, raining and cold here this morning and we feel
particularly bad for the guys in the 427 Shelby. Guessing it will be
an adventure for most with 20" inch summers in the cold Canadian
rain. For us it looks like our canadian leg will be spent in the
back of an American SUV.
Will text updates when we get to the border. Expect that to be
around 1PM Mountain.

So far off to a bad start. If not bad, at least unfortunate. Hopefully the action (and weather) gets better once they reach the boarder.
