May 14, 2008 - "Volume 2" of the 2008 Targa regulations came out this week.
I'm going to have to go through them all to make sure everything's correct. One change is that we apparently no longer need interior door panels, so there's one job off my list. We're also allowed to carry a space-saver spare, which I don't believe was the case before. That would make packaging a lot easier, but anyone who starts a stage with a space-saver mounted gets hit with some huge time penalties. I expect that's to keep the driver from trying to drive quickly, but it might be worth taking the weight penalty instead.
I also spent another 90 minutes on the phone with Expedia. That makes for a total of (I believe) 5.5 hours that I've spent on the phone with them, trying to deal with various problems associated with Janel's flight out to Newfoundland for the race. It's been frustrating to say the least. It's difficult to get someone from a small town in Colorado to a fairly remote part of Canada in the course of a day, and the airlines keep monkeying with the flights. Lots of frustration to put it mildly.
