2003 Doughty 500 Kicks Off

Today marks the official start of the 2003 Doughty 500. The caravan of Model T's set off from Eau Claire and will make their to Hayward which will serve as base camp for this year's tour. I will join the gang in Hayward on Wednesday night and will likely have pictures to post by next week.

This page will now serve as the main index for the Doughty 500 web site. If you have any questions or comments please let me know.
