Did we already mention that we are really proud of the way the team ended up racing today (now yesterday)? We took some photos that we hope to share tomorrow.
We also want to mention that John Tyler was one of the big heroes last night. He's the one who threw the burning chair out the door. And Bob Phelan has been keeping this all together like the staff design czar/star that he always is. Those guys are busting their humps.
One of today's two drivers was Nathan. We'll try to do a better job of telling you who the drivers are. Unfortunately, we're still learning last names; and there's something like 50 Johns on this team. These guys REALLY need nicknames.
Also this: Eastern Nebraska and South Dakota are beautiful.
P.S. Jupiter is shining brightly just to the left of the full moon. Is this a good sign?
Go team go....don't let mishaps slow you down. Proud of you!!!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!! Again, go team go.... Bryan Kriefels is one neat guy and will continue to encourage you to give it your best. Life is a journey and along that journey you will face lots of obstacles but overcome and keep going!!!!
Glad to hear everyone o.k. Solar Miner VI running well. Have a good time at the party then put it in overdrive for rest of race. Or at least the speed limit. Good Luck to the team. You all are doing well and Alumni are very proud of you,very good effort and hope this has been a very good learning experience.
Good luck team. Make sure that those drivers get plenty of sleep at night, it's difficult to drive if you've been up all night working on the car (I'm talking you, Pieper).

Solar Miner IV and V
Good luck. Keep on the sunny side.
