Days 2 & 3 of competition
Day 2 was a long day. We went to tech inspection and didn’t pass, which is not uncommon for a first year team. (Every team has to pass tech inspection before they are allowed to race) We worked all day and literally all night on fixing different parts of the car in hopes that we would pass tech inspection on day 3.
Day 3 did not turn out how we expected. We went to tech inspection early this morning in hopes to get through. But unfortunately we had too many things that did not pass tech that could not fix in the short amount of time we had. So we hung around the competition for a little bit, and watched some other teams on the track
Overall a really good learning experience and now we know what to expect for any future competitions.

Day 0 & 1 of competition
Day 0 was all travel, it was a long but very pretty drive to South Carolina.
Day 1 was the first day of competition. We spent almost all day in line for engine check and also hanging out around the trailer working on the car making sure it’s all ready for all the different inspections we have on day 2 of competition.
If you are wanting to keep track of our progress this weekend we are car #70.
