On the road again

Even though the final driver's meeting went late into the night, the beautiful Nuevo Laredo morning forced us out of bed and reminded us that we still had yet another target to reach. Home.


With the race over, everyone is frantic to leave Nuevo Laredo. Taxis are difficult to come by. Everyone is either catching flights or running for the border. Of course once we reached the border, we realized that racing through rough terrain and steep mountainsides would be easier to bear that this. After a grueling 2 hour wait, we finally crossed the Rio Grande into Texas.

This was another exciting and eventful race. We thank the race organizers and coordinators for their hard work in making this happen, the Federales and all the Mexican police for the watchful eyes and assistance and most of all we thank all the people in Mexico that cheered us on, encouraged us and made it all worth while. Mil Gracias!
Side note: The team participated this year in a fundraiser for the children in San Miguel de Allende "Feed the Hungry" and would like to thank all those who contributed to this wonderful cause.
