Great Race 2011 - Stage 6

Thursday, June 16
After a quick breakfast we departed Binghamton, NY and made our way to Cooperstown for lunch. The weather was picture-perfect and the Baseball hall of fame was pretty cool. We ran into some trouble early in the day, so we weren't too sure about our results. In fact, Dante's phrase, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" entered my mind once or twice. Poor leg scores are thrown out for stages 1-5, but you get what you get for stages 6 & 7. Turns out, the day wasn't all bad:

Leg 1: 14 sec early
Leg 2: 7 sec late
Leg 3: 1 sec early
Leg 4: 2 sec early
Leg 5: 2 sec late

Good enough for 3rd in class.....

We pulled into Saratoga Springs for dinner at the Saratoga Automobile Museum. They currently have a beautiful display of Italian cars; worth seeing! The only mechanical work was replacing a bolt on the alternator. The radiator is holding up just fine (Thanks again Doc and Gary!!!!). But man the roads are KILLING my car.
