HOKA HEY CHALLENGE #2: Eric Wickre 5/19/10
Stone Step Alaska; the HOKA HEY finish
Well folks, it’s about a month to the start of the Hoka Hey challenge and our main man, Eric, is now back in Anchorage after spending last week driving the 1000 miles downrange from the finish line (pictured at left) ; burying 6 gallon gas cans every 170 miles all along the way and marking them with a GPS coordinate kilometer marker and land mark notation….WHEW!!! No surprise, he’s working in his Super Duty 351M w/ C6 trans Bronc………., a true thoroughbred, guaranteed to pass up everything on the road but the gas pump. According to Eric, it has “studs on mains,heads, roller cam , roller rockers, MSD ignition,400plus hp, Kevlar bands in trans. Shift kit custom ground camshaft …. you name it. “.
He’s seen grizzlies, porcupine caribou, Alaskan cowgirls, a whole lot of beauty and more to come ……. the Challenge is just a month away. Hoka Hey, Eric !
