Day 2 - Veracruz to Puebla


















We apologize for not updating the blog for the past couple of days. Evidently someone cut the Internet wire going to Veracruz because most of the town has been without service for the past several days. Everyone is doing fine and we have not had any crashes (except for the Van incident yesterday and Juliens 180 spin out).

Today we raced from Totula down to Tehucan and then back-up to Puebla, about 380 km. No crashes today, that we know of, but the road was a lot less technical and there were only 2 speed sections. No results as of 11 pm.

The pictures above are from a fiesta in Tehucan that was thrown for the rally. Everywhere we have gone the people are universally friendly and go out of their way to help us. There must have been at least 20,000 people packed into the town square to look at all the cars and join in the festivities. Our drivers and navigators have developed carpal tunnel from signing so many autographs.

Freddy is feeling a little ill and keeps running a temperature. Doctor Todd worked on him tonight and hopefully he will be feeling better in the morning.

Tomorrow we leave a 7 am for Mexico City. Hopefully Freddy Van Buren will be in attendance and sign the Freddy car.

Today
