I can’t stand snow, but if this thing comes with heated seats, I’ll make an exception.
No word on 1104 yet. Crusty came by and picked up some parts for the parts bins. He also found the mount for the IRC tracking unit, so I can sleep at night. Roxanne also picked up some peanut butter-filled pretzel nuggets, because no Baja 1000 is complete without peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets
1107 and Logistics Maven Seth Schrenzel on the playa. (That’s Seth on the right.)
Creech hauled 1107 out to Black Rock Desert for Fourth of JuPlaya and a plethora of team members took turns at the steering wheel. The consensus is that 1107 is “ready to win.” It hauled PVC to Double Hot. It floated across the mud flats and we’ve still got intercom issues. (You were expecting perfection, maybe?)
Now that 1107 is back, we’ll be fixing a few bent parts and shipping the shocks down south to Bilstein for upgrades. There’s a lot more in the works as we prepare for the KC Hilites Midnight Special in August, the World Diabetes Congress in October and the Baja 1000 in November.
This has nothing to do with us, but who doesn’t want to see what Top Gear can do with Ken Block:
