Day 2. More Tech

We got through Tech today, with only a small problem, the car was deemed to be underweight due to a change in the rules made on the fly. We had an e mail that said the weight could be within 5% of 3300 lbs. They now say it has to be over 3300 lbs. We were within 60lbs at weigh in, so we put an extra battery back in and we are very close with an empty gas tank. by the time we've added all the crap to go racing (water, some tools, etc. We'll be in weight without a problem.

A lot more cars showed up today and if i wasn't connecting to the interweb through a Hamster powered connection i'd post a lot more pictures....



This is Gary Faules' beautiful Mustang. It should be pretty quick...



... And this is Doug Moffet's Oldmoblie. This car is probably the favourite for the overall win, Doug and his professional Co-driver Angelica have spent the last week pre running the whole course, Doug has been doing this event for years, and Angelica has just become the first woman to be inducted into the Mexico Motorsports hall of fame. She didn't collect the award because she was prerunning with Doug. Thats how dedicated she is.
