Down to the wire
Well anything that we have left to do will have to be done in NFLD. The vehicle will be leaving on Wednesday...without Geoff. He needed to travel to FLA to survey the damage from Hurricane Frances, we all hope they were spared serious damage. It certainly puts the race in perspective. Now we just have to arrange a flight for him...
Things were "par for the course" during our trip to test the car on Sunday...during our first trip around the block, we blew the turbo! Big clouds of white smoke! Luckily the good people at Autotech jumped on the job and worked all weekend to get the problem fixed. Other than that, the only other minor issue was that neither Geoff or myself fit in the car. With helmets our heads were the highest point in the car - not technically the best situation if we ended upside down! So we changed our focus and ripped out the seats to have the bases stripped and re-fastened. That was happening today.
Thanks to all of our sponsors in helping so far, the decals look great and we will have more pictures for you to see. We will try to do you proud and if the moon aligns with the sun and the stars disappear from the sky we may be lucky and have a car to drive....
That's all for now
