The team has a long day ahead today. We got up early this morning to top off the car's charge and perform the every day prep work that we do to make sure the car will run smoothly. We then found out the scores for day one; we took first place in our division and also had the most miles for day one. We hope day two is the same way. After lunch today, there was a little rain so we decided to put the car in the trailer to protect it. While loading the car, we found a new pet that we named Carl (he's a tarantula). Overall we had a great sunny day to begin with, which helped to keep the car going all day.
