Scrutineering... 16/07/09

The team spent the day registering, queuing, queuing, queuing and more queuing…

This morning was spent preparing the car for technical inspection - mostly setup jobs such as brake system filling, reattaching components dismantled for travelling and systems checks.

Inevitably with 93 teams at the competition, scrutineering was not going to be completed in a single day, and with ticket #64 Full Blue were unable to get through as hoped. It does reopen in the morning and so the team's new aim is to get the car through technical inspection as quick as possible in the morning to maximise driver/car time, in preparation for the dynamic events starting on Saturday.

At the same time, tomorrow sees the static events take place - business, cost and design. These require the car and so must be juggled with technical inspection and testing, to ensure the car looks its best. Tonight we have to leave the pits at 10pm, followed be preparation for design judging tomorrow and an early(ish) night ready for the 7.00am start - drivers briefings and scrutineering queues beckon!
