...even made sure that it was converted to a single wire so it should be a direct replacement.

It's definately overkill and I'm sure that when we have an issue it will be unrelated to anything listed above but our goal - first and foremost - is to finish the race and I would hate to be sidelined because we didn't have a "simple" something-or-other handy.

Thanks Blake - we'll do our best.

Have you considered towing a spare replica of the car?

Yeah... But where would the challenge be in that?

He didn't say what 'size' replica...

Well the trailer is packed, the car is prepped, and both are on the way to Long Beach for the GP this weekend and then a trip East... the 2011 Tire Rack One Lap of America starts in 2 weeks!

Trailer is packed...



and I think we are as ready as we can be.

I posted this in the Long Beach GP thread but to give everyone an idea what we are planning for One Lap this year...

We are hoping to use the Long Beach weekend as an opportunity to try out some of the media that we (hope to be) using during the One Lap which starts in 2 weeks (!)

We have a “Live” page which will have (hopefully) live streaming video via LiveStream and Qik. We will be trying a couple of different streaming methods (PC, iPhone, 3G and MiFi) at various times to see what works and what does not. That same page will have Live GPS Tracking (which we’ve already tested and seems to be working) via Spot Adventures. On top of that we’ll have real time blogging via an RSS feed – we’ll try some updates from our phones and iPads during the weekend.

We’ll also try to do some Live Tracking via Glypmse (link upcoming when I figure it out). It has the potential to be as good or better than Spot Tracking but may be a Data Hog so we’ll try in via 3G and MiFi as well.

If you get a chance check it out over the weekend. The real fun should start between 3:30 and 4:30 on Sunday when we do our Parade Laps on the circuit but we’ll be experimenting all weekend. Our laps, and the race itself, should be on VS at some point in time but will be streaming live at www.world-challengetv.com.
