  • dLife TV promoting upcoming segment on Dingos

    dLife TV posted a blurb on their website on this coming Sunday’s feature segment on Mike and Richard.

    This Week on dLife TV
    January 20, 2008

    Topics: Crossing the Baja desert with diabetes and a souped-up Beetle; a visit to the cardiologist; and low-carb party food with Chef Michel Nischan. Plus, diabetes stole her sight but gave her artistic vision. And pop star Nick Jonas reveals the challenges of performing and living with diabetes.

    The piece will air at 4 p.m. PST and we expect they’ll also post it online after the show.

  • Desert Dingo to be featured on CNBC’s dLife TV on Jan. 20

    Desert Dingo’s assault on the Baja 1000 will be featured on the Jan. 20 episode of dLife TV, which airs on CNBC. Matt and Christian – the filming team – stuck with us for three days in Ensenada and beyond.

    They mentioned us in their press release announcing episodes for the eighth season of the show. We’ll be profiled along with Jerry Mather of Leave It to Beaver” fame and baseball’s Dmitri Young.

  • Baja Edition GlucoMON

    Diabetech provided us with a Baja Edition of their GlucoMON device to test in the extreme environment of Baja. When I unbolted it from 1146, it was covered in oil, dirt and water, which is hard to see in this photo. I’m draining it before sending it back for evaluation.

  • 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).

  • We opt to postpone driving down for tech inspection

    We’ve opted to postpone trailering 1146 down to SoCal for tech inspection until early next week because of the fires in the area. That being the case, we just shifted the work schedule to focus on installing the dash and instrumentation, complete work on the rear suspension, install the engine and possibly paint the car before it heads southbound.

    4 Wheel Parts has generously donated night driving lights, a light bar switch panel, horn and roll cage padding. Greg, thank you very much.

    I also wanted to take a moment to thank all the bloggers who’ve written in support of us, including Khürt Williams of Honey Sweet, Scott of Scott’s Diabetes Journal, Allison of Lemonade Life and Rachel of Tales of My Thirties. You all rock.

    I’ll be taking our two spare rims down to Skip’s Tires today to have Kevin and his team fit the race tires on ’em.
