We can safely say we have the coolest car here; not the fastest, but the coolest. While we haven't counted, we're fairly certain that we have won any picture-taking contest. This is great! We want to draw attention to Team Fox and Parkinsons research.
Tomorrow is the first day. I am very nervous; Larry is not. Why should he be nervous? He's not the one who will be behind the wheel and trying to push the car as fast as possible without spinning or crashing. He is very talented, however, checking the car's vital fluids and keeping it in pristine condition for all of the gawkers. I know he will be invaluable when I need to be "talked down" before an event. He will also keep me supplied with Diet Coke's, Dove chocolates, and neck massages. Seriously, I would not be able to do this event without Larry.
Tomorrow is the wet skid pad and autocross. I'm particularly nervous about the skid pad. Yes, it's safe. However, the car is light and doesn't handle well in the wet. Furthermore, there's this feeling from the other drivers of..."OK, let's see what she can do with that car". It will be very entertaining to the spectators if I spin (which is more likely than I care to admit). Keep your fingers crossed!
We lose our teammate, Sandy, tomorrow. She has friends and family obligations, but will meet up with us again at the finish. She will continue to be present to all as she is our blog queen. She will probably be updating the blog and the FB page more than I. We understand that the race is so grueling that if you are not driving, you are sleeping.
Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.
Josie, Larry, and Sandy
