After 10 hours of towing through the night last night we arrived in Monterey, CA early this morning at 1am. As we pulled into the hotel we quickly realized that there wasn’t any parking for a truck with a 24′ trailer in the tiny little hotel parking lot. Some creative driving brought us to some surface streets nearby where we could park.
This morning the weather was beautiful. We hit up a little breakfast place this morning called “The Breakfast Club” and they had decent food. None of you care about this. We arrived at the race track for tech right at Noon. I think we’re all in awe of this place.
While we went through tech Toyota/Subaru were at that track testing and photographing their new joint venture:

We completed a few last minute tasks at the track in the trailer. The water level sender acted up and that was a three second fix, we also mounted the transponder. Everything is ready for tomorrow morning’s 9am start. We will have to partially unload the trailer to setup the pits, but this should only take 30 minutes or so.
I have also been working on our recording setup for the car. I have been doing some testing and if everything pans out tomorrow we’ll have recordings of all driver stints on the track. Tonight we’re heading to a chump dinner at 6pm and then probably an early bed time for our early start tomorrow.
Wish us luck on the track tomorrow. We’ll post an update when we can.
