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).
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.
Rich delivered boxes from 4 Wheel Parts. Three 3,000 candle-power driving lights, an air horn that had everyone diving for cover and assorted electronics to get us through the desert.
We’re at two weeks and counting. Rich and Crusty trailer the car to SoCal on Monday for tech inspection.
Jeff joins us and jumps in.
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.
Kevin with Skip’s Tires mounted, balanced and blinged our race wheels. I was taking our cars to Kevin way before we planned this race, but if you’re looking for tires, I definitely recommend you give him a call. We really appreciate their support.
