You can watch the vegas to reno race.  Jeff is racing in it.  He drove the first half today, then traded off to another driver. Other driver tomorrow first, then Jeff in the pm.  It's a 3 day staged race.  You can also follow live feed updates at pirate4x4.com

Here is the link to the tracking.  It updates about every 3-5 minutes.  Jeff's number is 4471.  He created the 4400 class and the top 10 in the class will qualify for his "King of the Hammers" race.

Careful, it's addicting.  And the pirate page has sound from time to time. Audio interviews.

The race runs until about 10 or 10:30 each evening.  Jeff got in the car at 4:30 and has about 180 miles to drive.

He got in the car around 4:30 and said a fuel line "exploded". This happened about 5:30 or 6.  Then it was about 3 hours before they could get to him.  They didn't have radio contact for some reason, so no one really knew what was going on. Thankfully, racers use the trackers now.  It is so hot out there, that fuel pumps are burning up, causing the cars to run too lean, then causing the engines to overheat.  They have gone through 6-8 fuel pumps in two days.  This time, the line was so hot, it just blew.  They rebuilt the whole fuel system last night.  I haven't heard if they got it going yet or not.  Today is the final day.  Gotta get to the gym and back before it starts. I'll be glued to the computer all day.  Jeff drives first this morning, but his class usually begins around 10, might be a little earlier today as much of the feild is DQd or busted.

here is the link to today's tracking
