Race Update - Friday 22-Oct-99

We had a great finish in Adelaide this morning. Katie drove the car over the line in Victoria Park in central Adelaide at 8:37 AM, to be welcomed by a large crowd of school students and interested people. There were model solar car events taking place, and the atmosphere was great. Later, the cars which had finished were put on display in a large marquee.

We had stopped the previous night (after the dash to the timing line) in the carpark of Captain Snooze, at Gepp's Cross. Overnight, the team sampled hitherto unknown pleasures, such as showers, or beds!

Thanks to all of you, our supporters who, whether by sponsoring us, or by helping us directly, or by supporting our members, or by cheering us on, have helped make this event and this result happen! We could not have done it without you!
