As you may know, VALIS was unable to start The Pacific Cup Race today
(Monday) due to a mechanical problem that was discovered at the last
minute (and this was after two significant shake-down sessions).
We believe that we have correctly analyzed the problem and fixed it, and
we have performed initial testing with good results. We intend to give
it a complete testing early Tuesday morning, and if this turns out as
planned, we would like to cross the starting line July 4 around 11:30,
which is a 24-hour delay from our originally scheduled Division B start.
This should keep us out of the way of the Division C starters at 12:10.

Also, one of our crew has had to drop out. This moves us back to our
original plan, which is to do the race with a crew of four: Paul,
Daniel, Ville, and Andrew. We won’t get as much sleep, but at least
we’ll have more space to do it in!
