Three pages of amendments handed out at the start of the day so pencil cases out atthe breakfast table to adjust today's route book where required!
Last nights monster party went down well and everyone was in high spirits this morning recalling the amazing effort people went to with their costumes - masks off to Jo and David Roberts Car 17 for winning best costume prize, it amazing what can be achieved with a roll of electrical tape a pair of stockings and a high viz waist coat!
First part of today took us along a net work of Tarmac and slushy sand tracks in and around the Au Sable State Forest to find two passage controls we then entered the Huron National Forest for the first timed section of the day at Liberty Road. Every thing looks so much better when the sunshines! and after yesterday's wash out it was just what was needed.
We then had a rather long lunch stop in Atlanta, giving the crews time to drive ahead and set up the next few tests of the day - two more regularities in Mackinaw State Forest and then a fun two laps of a speedway circuit to end the days test.
We have been nice and close on the regularities today only dropping a second on each test so really pleased with that and it look like we had fastest time on the speedway - Phil and Keiron Car 27 are still holding us at bay and it looks like we may still be 22 seconds behind - we will see tonight once results are in. We are however putting a bit more distance between us and the cars behind.
After the speedway track at Onaway we make our way to the banks of Lake Huron on our way to tonight's hotel Harbourpoint Hotel St Ignace over looking the lake. To do this we first have to cross the Mackinaw Bridge which separates Lake Huron and Lake Michigan
