A bit of a detour from its original route but it WILL be in your hands SOON!!! The details below.
First, so I won't explain the basic details 10 million times, click !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for the Official Rules and Live Tracking Guide.
THAT IS RIGHT OPPONAUTS!!! The Traveling Torchbug is back in N. America and WILL be in your hands SOON!
Current DETOUR:
The original plan was for an EAST to WEST movement but we ran into some issues with our awesome Euro OPPO's so the N. American leg has officially began. The DETOUR is currently because OPPOnaut Denver (aka mini Travis) is next up followed by Manwithsauce in Michigan who is taking it on a road trip to Utah for an upcoming Ford Focus ST Octain Academy. After that, it will be sent to Sn 210, Type S in California for Coucours d' Elegance Pebble Beach. Finally, Sn 210 will take it back to New England and start the EAST to WEST movement.
THERE IS NO LIST:
Once in the New England area, it will go from post to post per the rules using this image
,
When you see this, quickly go down to the comments and plea your case to the current holder.
JALOPNIK HQ IS OFF LIMITS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any questions of concerns, click above link to the rules. If you still are needing info, shoot me a comment belooooow.

Not sure on an exact date but the plan is for every OPPOnaut to get a chance with it while in that particular area once after Pebble Beach. Canada is 100% included buddy :]

Contact Sn 210 but he will be headed back to the East soon after Pebble Beach. It sounds awesome but a lot of events will be missed. Though. many will be attended as well. It's kind of the nature of the tour.

if everything is set, then like many, it will just be a little longer before it reaches you. Main reason it left Europe, no contact, gotta get goin.

Ok for anybody reading, this is hard to keep up with. I am smack dab in the middle of the country in Missouri so I would love to get it on either the east or westward swing. I really really want this thing as I have already seen it in person before the program began! I understand SN210 will have it first and everyone wants a piece after so let me know who to ask or if anybody already has dibbs on it.

You did?!?! Sorry I missed it. The problem is I don't think in going to have an opportunity to ship it anywhere while I'm in California. The Concours is a Sunday and my flight leaves early Monday morning. It's looking like it's coming back with me to New England to do some New Englandy shit. The plan is to have it travel down the east coast and then move west

Sn 210 is headed East right after Peeble Beach. It's going to be a while before it makes it midway. The link above and future posts will be the the live tracker. Once near you, comment quickly. Still, the goal is for EVERYONE to get a chance with it in its current area after Sn210. That is a priority.

I will try but as you know, not everyone posts this on LALD and I rarely have time to check OPPO and Jalopnik.
