RealAudio Update
G'day mates. This is Jed and the MaizeBlaze team from the outback of Australia. We are at the end of Day 2 and unfortunately we have been hit by a serious set of clouds that has hung over the racecourse for most of the day. Luckily, now that the day is over, the clouds have moved away and we can now get some good charging time in.
Currently, we are in 7th place overall and are still the leading US team in the race even though MIT is just a few kilometers back.
This current lineup as of the Tenant Creek press stop which we reached about 3:41pm (5:11am EST) this afternoon:
1) Queens University
2) Northern Territories University
3) Aurora Vehicles Association
4) Sunstart
5) Spirit of Canberra
6) Kanazawa Institute of Technology
7) UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
8) Massachusetts Institute of Technology
9) OSU from Japan
10) Kashiwa kai-Musashi Tech University from Japan
Overall, things are looking good and we hope to see some good weather beginning tomorrow. If all goes well, we should reach Alice Springs on Day 3 or maybe even further down the road.
We are having a good time during the race and the car is running great. We've had no major problems except for a tire problem on Day 1 that we fixed since it was getting a little low.
Wish us Luck!
