We are on our way!

We are on our way. Not much else to report. The only picture I took today was of the flag at the left that was hanging in the rest area food court on the Ohio Turnpike. We put about 600 miles on today and we are right outside of South Bend, Indiana. Tomorrow we will register, have the car teched, put on the rest of the national sponsor decals have a welcoming dinner and have our first competition, the wet skid pad event. For the wet skid pad we get two laps around a 200 foot circle in one direction then through a keyhole turn and then two laps in the oposite direction. They will take our best lap in each direction and calculate our average G forces. Points will be awarded. We will have a final count tomorrow but it looks like about 70 entrants. Points are awarded from the 1st place finisher down to the last in 5 point increments. If there are 70 entrants it would be 5 points X 70 entrants, so 1st place would get 350, 2nd place 345 and so on down to last place with 5 points. All of the events will be scored the same. Other than the wet skid pad event at the start and the dry skid pad at the end, we will have 2 events at each of the racetracks. Tomorrow is game on. Wish us luck.
