The Road to Crab Park

At this point in the day, nearly half of the sculptures have crossed the Day Two finish line having successfully navigated this morning’s water crossing, the trip through the Palco Marsh, a trek down Highway 101 toward College of the Redwoods, up Loleta hill and, finally, out Cannibal Island Road to Crab Park. 

Once at Crab Park all the racers will be given sleeping pills or something so that the snooze for the next 14 or so hours without having any fun tonight. Nothing happens at Crab Park. LoCO has been threatened enough times to come to realize this is the case. Zzzzz.

Can you say (or spell, for that matter) three-peat (is that right?)? We’ll find out Monday. In the meantime Tempus Fugitorium is still holding strong to their ACE. 

Dune Controversy!

A sizable Kinetic traffic jam has gathered at “June’s Dune.” The cause? Like Atomic Funguys earlier, multiple machines are waiting for someone — anyone! — official to let them know if this is a legal push zone (it changes year to year).

LoCO spoke with James Smith, captain of two-time defending champions Tempus Fugitives about this year’s ACE-hopeful machine, Tempus Fugitorium. —AG

UPDATE TO UPDATE: But did they make it over the dune and keep ACE hopes alive? You bet your sweet patoot.
