Is it just me? I can't get any of the different live feeds or trackers to work today other than Robby's. Server overload?

They are all being slammed. It takes a long time to load any pages on RDC or IRITrack. Let them load and just open a new window or play solitaire while you wait.

The 21 and 8 are flying, but how long can there equipment take the beating? Time will tell. RG is back 17+ min's, but he will make it up, you watch.

Tavo, Norman & BJ are really pressing it - passed El Molino at 117, 112 & 121 mph - ouch. Long way to go
and check 4 coming up.

if i recall correctly the last time they raced this course he made up lots of time towards the end & finished 3rd so the best has yet to come

The sun has set and Baja can be awful black at night - TT leaders just pulled up on class 60 / 60 y.o.biker - his race is gonna suck from here on. BJ is right up Norman's butt now with Tavo still out front. Dust tastes worse at night.

Yeah, we're less than a third of the way through the race. The sky is holding...for now.

Also, Just noticed the tracker shows the location of support vehicles.

Just checked the moon - it's a bright 3/4 moon their driving into and should last for a while at least. Weather forecast is clear and cool turning to cold tomorrow night: glad they started today as Saturday could be a cold and wet one.
