Here we go!

We made it to Minneapolis and found our car parked among the other race cars. It's starting to feel real.

This afternoon, we checked in at registration and picked up our gear, including a cooler of beer and cider from event sponsor Samuel Smith, and a copy of Hemmings Motor News for Curt.

After that, we went through tech inspection, completed the measured mile calibration run, and got everything set for the days ahead.

Tonight, we'll head to the banquet to meet the other teams and kick things off together.

Tomorrow morning is the orientation meeting, followed by the Trophy Run—a practice rally before the official start on Saturday. More soon.
