IRC (International Racing Consultants) has live satellite coverage of a number of Baja 1000 racers in all classes, including Mike Urbana (1148) with Fullhouse Racing in Class 11. Mike started shortly after our 1146, so you can get a rough idea of where our team should be if things are going as planned: http://irctracking.com/2007/Baja1000/North/ Right now, Mike is traveling 16mph, and has covered close to 70 miles.
When Cary and Jim switch out, we should get a Twitter update.
In San Diego.
First shot of 1146 on the trailer in a parking lot in San Diego. We’re doing early prep, then a team meeting and we’ll map out what will happen for the rest of the day.
For the most up-to-date info, check our Twitter stream.
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.
SCORE released the official GPS track for the race and Seth switched it to a .KML file to work with work with Google Earth. It’s makes for an interesting tour.
Work continues today. I’m driving the Millennium Falcon’s air cleaner over to Cary’s so everyone else can marvel at it, too.
If things go as planned, we’ll be providing real-time updates during the race. You can subscribe to our Twitter stream by going to http://twitter.com/desertdingo.
