My apologies … out of sequence, but an update

It’s currently Saturday morning and we are all back at the “hotel” … which means, if you worked some of the math and timing, that we either finished with the best of the trophy trucks … or …

Team Florida and the 1503 Jeep, made it 58 miles into the course where the transfer case broke. With a broken transfer case, the Jeep will not move … so Chase 2 (our rented) Jeep went in to get them.

Everyone is fine, tons of stories … and I will work in the next couple of days to complete the story … what’s left to tell.

Wednesday – we fail tech inspection and cannot race unless we fix the Jeep … our visit to a local race shop.

Thursday – the circus that is contingency day, we are in the parade, and as one in the team said … “If this is a circus, we must be the bearded lady” … we definitely stuck out.

Friday – Race Day … 4 stories; 1. Tim and Sheila race and break. 2. Tom, Mark and Dennis to the rescue, 3. Our press team and thousands of pictures, 4. Abuelo and me enjoying the party at Borrego Pits.

Sorry again for not keeping this timely … I’ll try to get better with time.
