Friday: Driving There

throttle cable We had a little trouble with Tina, the tow van, during the drive. The throttle cable mount broke. Using Kinetic race techniques, we drafted vicegrip to hold the throttle cable so that we could continue the drive.

Saturday: Art Judging, Parade, Safety Checks, Coronation Ball

Sunday - Race

I don't have a lot of pictures. Mostly the pictures are of us giving rides to kids.

It rained. Boy did it rain. We both got thoroughly soaked. By the time we got to the mud bog we decided we had had it.

The hot soup in the cups helped a lot. But not enough.

We skipped the mud, went to Charley's house, showered, and got into dry clothes. We felt so much better.

Sunday - Finish Line

We didn't cross the finish line. But I got pictures of others who did.
