So, our information proved correct. A crack team of Telstar Logistics analysts combined a pinch of humint with a dash of sigint to triangulate the coordinates and place our agents in proper position. Someone gave the secret signal, the message went out, a coyote began howling in the distance, and sure enough, at 1 pm  on Sunday, (Sunday! Sunday!) October 28, 2007 a ragtag crüe of  gravity-racers assembled atop Bernal Hill in San Francisco for the 2007 Illegal Soapbox Derby.

Looks like quite an adventure. I think I'd need a camel back though, it looks like it'd be burning up.
