Day 2 of Scruttineering

 
Our team started the second day of scruttineering today and have been up working on the car since 5:30 this morning. We are working on passing the last of scruttineering stations in order to be ready to race tomorrow. Due to Internet connections we will not be updating the blog but once every night, if you want to keep up with us during the day you can check our Facebook, Sundancer Solar Car; twitter, Houston Raceteam; or our instagram, Sundancer.  We are excited to begin our journey to L.A. and are looking forward to the experience we will have with our teammates!
