I'm following Bob Gordon's car "Betsy" because it's prepped by YT Motorsports and Sean is doing some of the co-dog duties. Close race between Bob and Robby for the $50k that Robby put up for the overall winner. It would be great for Bob to take Robby's money!

Any updates from Rick in the Autofab parts truck?

Or from Chris and Glen in their Bronco?

Or from ToddZ in his Bronco?

Both the chase Raptor and the racer have been where they were supposed to be each day and each stop. Chris was on line about 1pm mountain time, but he did not respond to my quire. Both rigs were in LaPaz as they are now.
Nothing about times that I can find

I just got a call from Bondobob, Rick, Kelly and a few others. Sitting at the dinner table in La Paz. They said the Autofab Spare Parts truck is in second place. It lost cylinder 1 at some point. The crew removed the valve train for that cylinder and, as John put it, turned the 460 into a 390. It sounds like the battle for second will be pretty bit tomorrow... looking forward to the next report.

Rob is going to try to send photos tonight from the hotel....

Credit goes to Brian - I just fixed his link! Think it was posted on RDC.

I WISH I was down there to see the race, let alone get a pic like that, but alas I'm sitting at my desk at work like many of the guys here.

Looks like a finish and a class win for team Autofab. 27th overall so far. Pretty cool for 3 days on 7cyl.

I just got a call from Team Autofab. 2nd place on 7 cylinders and no oil pressure since Bay of LA! Spirits are high and the crew is looking forward to a leisurely return to the states. Rick has promised a detailed race report once he gets stateside. Looking forwar to it!
