    Alright, Race Fans- according to the Calendar, the Challenge has begun. We'll be posting regular updates through the weekend, so stay tuned to this space for the latest in official news.

    Actually, updates will be posted at this link, but I'll post here when new stuff goes up.

    Most of the office staff will be heading to Gainesville around noon, since most of us haven't finished packing yet and there's still lots of work going on in the office.

    My challenge car is sitting on the side of I-75 South with a bad wheel bearing. Luckily, Les has an empty trailer and is going to stop on his way by. Then I'll be repairing my car in the parking lot this evening.

    There is a nice, full article about the Challenge in this morning's paper! It even includes a nice shot of Andy's car last year.

    The WiFi at the track isn't working, but track officials promise that we'll be up and running shortly. Look for a big batch of updates as soon as circumstances allow.

    I was just about to post the same thing. Where would one get a replacement board? Any electronics stores in the area that you get and replace the burnt components?
