After a very long night and early morning we are rockin' and rollin'! The crew is AWESOME!!!! Tom, Miguel, Leroy and Jose are miracle workers. We got into Guadalajara at 8 and after a beer or two and some tequila the guys got to work. The right front steering rod and spindle was twisted and we had to find a shop that had a torch to heat and bend it. At midnight Tom and Guillermo went to Paco's race shop with the part. Then we borrowed a heim joint from Stewart and Linda Robertson. Lots of other adjustments had to be done but the Vicky was ready to go this morning.
We're driving out of Guadalajara right now, sad we didn't see any mariachis but thrilled to be back in the race. We're taking it VERY easy today.
We're on a Sunday drive to arrive in Zacatecas for a big fiesta. Donkey Walk, here we come!!!

Glad all are ok!! Little scary when you know you have cars at speed behind you.
The Vicky rides again.... way to go Tom and crew.
If it had to happen, it's good it happened on the last speed section.
Now about this "Sunday drive".....??:-)
