Sebring check-in

[jpchenet]

I'm hoping that this will be on time, but if you remember there was also one scheduled for last year in the week prior to Sebring but it ended up getting cancelled due t the main fuel cell being damaged by golf ball sized halestones a couple of weeks before! 

But here's hoping!!

A lift out to the Cape for this would be a great way of thanking me for the tea.

A fair exchange, I'd say.

What a lot of people don't realise is the amount of preparation that goes into occasions like this. Meticulous planning and almost unthinkable technology -combined with potentially lethally volatile liquids and gasses that have to be combined with microscopic precision. All it takes is one miniscule mis-calculation to create an utter disaster that can have far reaching and quite horrendous consequences. That's why I prefer tea bags to leaf.... Takes all the guesswork out of it.

Larry and I will be stopping by the CA site on Friday morning to wake everyone up about 9am or so, then again on Saturday morning.  Hope all that are traveling in have a safe trip.

Damn a launch would have been good...I arrive later on 11th

ME too Would like to see a night launch. They seldom go on schedule though. What if delayed? tough choice night practice or WFO party If delayed to the next week though

I am also arriving later on the 11-th, so if you do not mind, I would love it if they postpone the launch to later in the week

FYI
If there is a night launch and the sky is clear, the launch can be seen from Sebring and pretty much anywhere in the state. So if you do arrive in Florida earlier than the 11th just pay attention to the cloud cover.
But a day launch can be seen also.
I live in Miami and have witnessed at least 6 launches from my street.
Granted ... it ain't the best ...... but it can be seen from well over 100 miles away.

Turn 10 regular checking in! Thanks to my fellow race fans I'm safe and set to go for my 3rd consecutive. Don't miss my pole dance at the WFO party on Thursday, it will get ugly.

"Thanks god that's behind us" said Impala LMPX1 designer Lee Self, "I was afraid we were going to have to completely redesign the interior of our 2010 ACO spec Experimental P1 car" Continuing, "When we came up with this driver combination body size and height were our overarching concern. The ramifications of a driver change at such a late may well have impacted our ability to field a fully sorted car. I mean,  what if we had to draft a Gurney or an Andretti into the car; Completely different problems. It's not easy to install those Gurney bubbles in the roof. and if it was a shorter driver, can you imagine the time lost in the pits sliding the seat forward?"

"So with our original driver line-up STILL in place, we look forward to getting back to our testing of new components and fluids."   ----END

Looks more like "somewhere close to the end" instead of the middle, at least the race will be!

Do I have to report in too, together with the five others? I guess you know what we're up to

[Pieter]

From Holland: Paddy, Johan, QV, Leontien, Floris, Dirk3D, Roy, Julian and me. I think I have them all.

[knetter]

Yup
