Last night I got the rally car up from the shop and parked close. I had time to build my Byonics TinyTrak3 APRS tracker (see this post) and got it setup and firing location packets. This weekend will be a demo beta test of the system. So if you want to help me test it – Keep an eye on us and post a comment if you use it.
We’re leaving early tomorrow morning around 6:00AM-PST and heading up to Lancaster towing the Neon with the tracker active. So, the early birds in the East Coast can watch our boring tow out there.
Saturday afternoon we’ll keep it running and you can watch us drive around the fairgrounds from 12:00PM-PST to 10:00PM-PST. Sunday we’ll be racing in the fairgrounds from 9:00AM-PST to 4:00PM-PST. The GPS signal looks accurate enough that I’ll bet you can tell when we’re in service and when we’re screwing around in the autocross lot.
Look for the course and speed at the top of the page.

Happy Birthday, Kris! I’m so excited to get up to Rim of the World and celebrate!
Now that’s a neat gadget. At 11:04 central, you’re about to pass Edwards AFB. Either you’re taking an off-road excursion, or Google maps and your GPS aren’t quite in sync. I assume you’re on 138, not in a field to the west of the raod.
Best of luck at Rim.
Doh! I see that means you’re already there!
