Yeah...they're open, from around 1 PM.
Something else...one of the teams is displaying their truck out at the Old Mission Brewery, the new place out on the spit. Normaly closed on Tuesday
but open tomorrow. Normal start time there is around noon.
Try the place. It's a great venue on a sunny day.

Probably 18-20 hours from their statrting time, for the fastest racers (open bikes and Trophy Trucks and Class 1.
Pacific Time the first bike starts at 6:30 am... so 12:30-2:30 am Friday Pacific/ 1:30 am to 3:30 am Mountain Time...
Maybe starting 4 hours later for the first four wheeled V-8 racers (5:30-7:30 am Friday morning Mountain Time)... This is a complete educated guess,
as conditions will determine if they fastest racers can maintain a 55-60 mph average.
All racers have 45 hours (from their start) to complete the race to be considered a finisher.
If the last racer to start begins at 1:30 pm Thursday... then the La Paz finish line will be open until 10:30 am Pacific Time (11:30 am Mountain)
Saturday morning... provided there is still someone in the race, as reported by previous check points.

Hey Chuck
We did the obligitory Hussongs stop yesterday, (2 for 1 ) and Monster had the street in front closed with 2 wheelers doing jumps. We are going to
Contingency this morning and then back to the beach. We are going to watch at the chili dipper at KM31. CU soon.

Hi Rob,
