Day 5 Morelia - Aguascalientes (Tuesday)

It was a long, long day. The day started with four speed sections back over Mil Cumbres. Both cars did well.
It was the first time in 5 years that there were no accidents on Mil Cumbres.

The coupe suffered a mechanical problem. This time it was the throttle cable. Fortunately it was at the end of the day prior to the last two speed sections. It was unable to finish the day but was able to limp in to the Servicio area. Ted, Paul and Don worked the evening on the car and sorted out the problem. All should be good for tomorrow.
Ted was able to pick up on not one but TWO local girls. The local people take a great interest in the cars as they are are very attrctive and historical. We have also met a few older men who remember the actual cars that were raced over 50 years ago. The smiles we put on their faces make the effort all worthwhile.


Bill and Darell tried to move in on Ted's girls bt were quickly rebuffed. There is no substitute for age and skill.

The servicio area was a large well lighted permanent tent. it was a great opportunity to go thru the cars and fix the little problems. The support crews work well together. Swapping tools or small fittings make the difference on whether the car can or not.
