Well, in Topeka, Kansas it is the morning of the track-race portion of the FSGP – the American Solar Challenge. Only 2 out of 12 cars have qualified so far – the veteran Gato del Sol VI from Kentucky and the brand-new Brizo from Illini, the University of Illinois team. So what does that mean?

Well, I'm guessing that it means that Brizo will win the track race. The road race, which is the main event, is still wide open though. A bunch of other cars will make it through scrutineering today, put in some solid laps on Saturday and Sunday, and qualify for the road race. Some of those will be strong contenders. I will keep my teams list (in the previous post) up-to-date on status.

However, I anticipate some cars not passing scrutineering, while others hit the track but don't qualify for the road race. That much is normal at ASC.
