And so it ends.
I’d been following Gary’s updates all day and had sent him a note of appreciation for his work. We’re out for this race, but in the words of California’s governator, “We’ll be back.”

Nope, we’re done
Two flats – a total of three today – and we’re done at RM 72

We may still be in it
We haven’t had communication with the car, but expected it to stop at checkpoint 1 to be towed home with a flat tire. We’re only guessing they picked up a spare someplace because they’re tearing along at 21 mph toward RM 93 where they’ll do the driver changeout. Seth is picking up Scott and his race gear at Pete’s place as I type this.
Fingers are crossed.

And we’re done for the day
1101 is headed toward Checkpoint 1 where Seth will meet them. Three flats in the course of 55 miles and we just ran out of spares.
We’ll take a look at what happened, adjust accordingly and set our sites on the next race.
Thanks to everyone who checked in with me during the race. We appreciate your support.
Updates as they occur.

Tire blowout
Seth will do an email to me when he gets back to Pete’s Camp. Spent some time with Mike and Richard. They had a blowout at RM 5, then bottomed out and pressed the front bumper into the wheel well. They pulled that loose with a tow strat and the chase truck.
Other issues when Seth gets back.
