Hello. The Glendio failed through? Yeah, he's still got antenna issues and he's running out of time. There is a car fire on the 78 East from, if you're approaching it from the 15 right now. There's pretty decent-sized flames there. but there's a lot of people standing around. I saw you Tesla. That was the big yard with a bunch of fire trucks in it down the street. How would you know some information like that? Time it starts? No. I think it's 11 a.m. It's the NAQP contest. You might read up on the rules while you're sitting around this week. Are you going to be able to do the whole thing? It's 12 hours. Well, single ops are 10 hours out of 12. Oh, yeah, but you want to be there for the whole thing? I'll have to see. You should carve out the day and it's worth it. Yeah, I used to do the NAQP every time it was on, and it was on four times a year. And I did every one of them for probably 15 years. So this place has been through the mill. Never won one, though. Hard to win this one from the West Coast because you don't get much low bands at this time of year. Wow, there's a car on its side, fully engulfed in flames. Also on that side of town, I'd just go meet over there in a fire truck. There's your problem. How fast is traffic moving there? Three miles an hour, I've got a fire truck coming up behind me right now. Well, get out of his way. I'm working on it. at the damn thing. Language, sorry. Choice words for these people. Hope everybody got out before it was too late. A few more people with their phones out filming this thing. Huh? How'd they all happen? There's a car on the 78. The exit from the... 15 north to the 78 heading towards Escondito on its side fully in flames. Uh-oh, barbecue. To get, you know, if you get on the 78 to go to Escondito from the 15, that's right there. That's east. Yes. On the transition there. Yeah, yeah, right if, you know, like normally I would go left there to go west towards Vista, but I was going, going to take the right, because I got a Facebook marketplace. deal that I'm trying to get right now, but I gotta go back on the 78 and around now. You got the, the, make and model of this vehicle by chance? I couldn't tell.
