I got our acceptance email late last night from the illustrious Jay Lamm, so we’re in for the race at MSR-Houston in early September. We’ll once again be very, very glad that we have the cool suit system running, as the high temps will likely be in the mid- to upper-80’s and the humidity high enough to put the heat index well into the 90’s. It probably won’t be nearly as hot as it was at the North Dallas Hooptie race (air temps in the low 100’s and heat index into the one-teens), but still not cool by any stretch of the imagination.

I can’t wait! The to-do list is shorter than for last time (thank heavens) but there is still some important stuff to do like re-locating the water temp gauge sensor, re-building the radiator bumper bar (that got knocked off on the trailer drive home from NDH), and a bunch of clown-y theme additions.
