  • GlucoMON joins as a sponsor

    GlucoMON has joined as a primary sponsor of Desert Dingo Racing. We’re grateful for their support.

    With embedded worldwide wireless network connectivity, the GlucoMON turns a standard glucose meter into a connected remote blood glucose monitoring system enabling ‘GlucoMON Alerts’ from children at school to their parent’s cell phone as a text message or email as well as automated trend identification logbooks as part of a comprehensive Automated Diabetes Management System (ADMS).

  • This time next week we’ll be in Mexico


    Scott knows what he’s doing. Don’t worry.

    With less than a week to go, we’re buttoning up the rear suspension, bolting in the battery, finishing the brake system and dialing in the logistics.

    Radios and GPS arrive tomorrow. And we wrap up coordination with Baja Pits for fuel placement.

    You can follow our final logistics meeting via our Twitter stream, which I expect to be updating via satellite phone during the race.

  • We had guests last night

    More on this in a day or two.

    Ordered the GPS unit and rally logger. Radios should arrive any day now.

  • We passed tech

    Just got word that SCORE took about 15 minutes to go over the car and gave us the initial approval, recommending we add six gussets, I’m assuming to the roll cage.

    Rich and Crusty are northbound and we resume work as soon as they get here.

    It’s a good day.

  • Two weeks from now we’ll be in Mexico


    That screw Skid dropped has to be in here somewhere.

    It’s hard it describe how much we accomplished this weekend. Rich brought boxes of equipment donated by 4 Wheel Parts. Three three-thousand candlepower night-driving lights that will freeze deer in their tracks two miles out. An air horn that had people diving for cover. Enough switches to make Star Trek look like a 60s-era TV show.

    Seth led Saturday’s logistics meeting. We know the documentation we need and we know what we don’t know, as much as any first timers can. And we’ll be doing a conference call with Eric Sorlorzano (did we mention he won nine times?) to map out more of the logistics. Highlights from the meeting available on our Twitter stream.

    Rich and Crusty trailer 1146 to SoCal tomorrow for inspection. Eric will check out our handiwork and offer tips. Then it’s back up to San Jose for final tweaking, a paint job and practice driving.
