The Pony's Have Been Corraled

We arrived in Oaxaca yesterday and were met by our gracious hosts, the Oaxaca Mustang Club. They guided us to the staging area, provided translation to the officials and served as drivers for the errands we had to run. Their fabulos support made the day stress free.

Unfortunately we had a few mechanical problems. The Ford truck blew out the gear box and is currently getting repaired. It should be finished tomorrow.

Richard and Simon hooked up with us and we have begun the minor adjustments that they requested to make the car more driveable.

Today will focus on getting both cars though their tech inspection, allowing both drivers to take the cars out for a test drive and finishing up the race paperwork. Tonight we are having a fiesta in honor of our new Oaxaca friends from the car club. Their families will be bringing food for a feast next to the cars and we will provide the cervesa. Check out their website at http://www.mustangcluboaxaca.com.mx/. Check back tomorrow for pictures of our drivers with their cars and tonights fiesta.
