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.
MORE PICTURES. 
I had my brush with the challenge this morning at around 5:30, as I met aussiesmg to sell him some cheap Hoosiers. I like his ride.

Good to hear!
Life Saver? Funny I always thought of him as a Dum Dum, as far as candy goes that is ;)
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.

Son Calvin Nelson is quite the snappy dresser.
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.
WiFi is up and Tom is posting updates again.
YAY!
The updates show electrical trouble with the Hybrid Fiero. Any word if it can be saved?

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?
You'll need to log in to post.
