It's 6:00 a.m. In Fargo, And The Weather Looks Lousy......

A quick glance out the window reveals bad news for solar cars, so look for very slow racing today. Thick, low clouds, with rain to follow will give the Miners headaches today because their batteries are not in such hot shape, so making it north to Winnipeg won't be easy. But at least all the cars around here will have the same problem.

Stay tuned.

Hang in there!! You can do it!! I'll be praying for clear skies and lots of sun to shine on you.....

Your team ran into a lack of battery power where I worked today at Kleysen Group LP, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. They appear to be a group of very genuine people, quite personable and easy to speak with. Your group showed us their car, explained what the event was all about as they sough desperately to get a little peek of sunlight from behind the clouds before making a last trek to Red River College. The exchange was an interesting one. Good luck, hope you can maneuver through all the construction on Winnipeg Streets. Take care and may the force, uh, the sun be with you.
