The team spent today regrouping after the disappointing decision to trailer the car to the Ann Arbor stage stop. It was relatively uneventful in most respects. Time was spent making minor fixes and preparations for the stretch of the race, charging, and predominantly cleaning until the rendezvous with other teams at designated charge time. Many thanks to University of Michigan for the great dinner and hospitality we received here in their home city.

Tomorrow we have a checkpoint in our own hometown of Kalamazoo. The checkpoint is located at Western Michigan University's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. It opens at 11:00am and closes at 3:15pm. The address is:

Western Michigan University: College of Engineering and Applied Sciences
College Circle
Kalamazoo, Michigan 49008

The time we will be arriving can't be determined with certainty but we hope to make it to the checkpoint around 2:00pm. We look forward to seeing anyone interested in the solar racing community from our local Kalamazoo area. After stopping briefly at Parkview campus, this leg of the race continues to the stage stop at Normal, Illinois. With a forecast for great weather during this part of the race, so we hope to see you tomorrow in a sunny Kalamazoo.
