Finally

on Wednesday, July 15, 2009

We headed to the garage early today, so we could get the car on the track. After we put the wheels on, we thought that we were done, but when we tested it, we realized that the left turn was sharper than the right one, which meant we couldn't pass the 15 meter turn. We spent most of the morning working on that and the brakes again. When we went for the scrutineering sessions, everyone was in such a good mood! The car works again!

That's why we're here :)

So finally....After lunch time, Dr. Lehman Marks came over to our station and said, "Congratulations, you are now qualified to race." Everyone started screaming and jumping. It was probably the best and memorable moment ever. :)

We finally got out into the track, with smiles so bright that they can light up Texas. :) Our first driver was Wojtek. He loved it, and didn't seem to want to change drivers. Then Dylan drove and after him Kamal. We drove for about three hours and in those three hours, we made 40 laps. 40! We went at approximately 26 miles per hour.

We couldn't have done this without everyone's help.
Thank You to the Houston team, The Solar Knights, Tushka Hashi :)

We ended the day in a good note, and couldn't wait to come back tomorrow because we're ready to race!
