Sweet crickets, 1107 is finally home. Now the real work begins.
PLYCAR dropped 1107 off just after 12:30 p.m. today to the welcoming committee of Crusty and me. I drove it back up to Richard and Crusty and Scott are on the case. We’ve got six days to prep the car before departing for Mexico. It’ll be tight, but we should be fine.
KION published a piece on us on their website: “Felton Race Team Competes in the Baja 1000.” You can read it here.
The ad running on Diabetes1.org.
I wanted to take a moment to thank the team at Diabetes1.org for helping us spread the word on our project with 12seconds.tv. They’re running an ad on their home page promoting our project where people can record 12 second long videos describing how diabetes has affected them. We’ll be sporting the Diabetes1 logo on the car at the Baja 1000 and throughout the 2010 race season.
You can read more about the project and upload your own video here.
Thanks to everyone at the Diabetes1.org. We appreciate your support.
Ok, maybe quoting Ozymandias is a bit over the top.
But Richard and Crusty and crew are making great progress on the future home of Desert Dingo Racing.
1104 is due any day. No really.
What could be more perfect than a beachfront RV park with its own race track?
We head to Mexico a week from tomorrow. We’ll all meet in the Wal-Mart parking lot and cross the border. Eric Solorzano has his shop set up in the Barnyard in Rosarita Beach. We’ll likely stop there on our way to the Estero Beach RV Park, which comes with its own dirt race track where we hope to do some tweaking.
If you’ve got Google Earth, this .kmz file has waypoints for the Barnyard, the RV park and race track, the Baja 1000 start/finish line and the entry into the wash.
All I want for my birthday tomorrow is a race car. The trucking company is assuring me it will be here “no later than Tuesday.”
I can’t stand snow, but if this thing comes with heated seats, I’ll make an exception.
No word on 1104 yet. Crusty came by and picked up some parts for the parts bins. He also found the mount for the IRC tracking unit, so I can sleep at night. Roxanne also picked up some peanut butter-filled pretzel nuggets, because no Baja 1000 is complete without peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets
