Were Here!

We have finally arrived at Veracruz, a trip of over 3000 miles and several thousand dollars in tolls and gas. The next few days will be spent prep'ing the cars for the race.

Day of the Dead























On Sunday we celebrated during a Day of the Dead festival at San Miguel. The town hosted a car show in honor of the La Carrera American contingent. The cars were a huge hit with the locals, especially the kids. Freddy and Besty in particular received a lot of attention.

On Sunday night we headed out to Mexico City. The group was met outside the city limits by a police escort which took us through the city. Although it was almost midnight traffic was crazy and most of the group ended up getting separated. Our lead contingent was stopped by the local police for a shakedown. An understanding was made and we headed out of town. We arrived in Puebleo around 2 am.

Next stop, Veracruz!
