Most of the Miatacage.com team made it to Willows, California yesterday (Thursday). We brought a lot of stuff this time. 3 motor coaches and 3 race trailers filled with two complete race cars and enough parts to build another. Everything that we were wanting for last year, we believe, is here this time – we are short a couple of key team members, but have come up with excellent replacements.
The only issue we had yesterday is that the truck pulling the trailer with the race car had a minor overheating problem crossing the Siskyous (that slowed the caravan down a bit). The problem is believed to have been a faulty radiator cap and it has been corrected.
The weather is currently 37 degrees and partly cloudy – it is a beautiful day. The driving team is currently completing the paperwork required to participate in todays test. We have a schedule of tasks to accomplish and will be starting that within 30 minutes. Race cars are on track.
Updates and photos through the race with photos (as we get the data communication issues worked out).
Good Luck All! Hope to hear thrilling results!
