Well, for those of you who have been waiting with baited breath, the information has been set free from the stony clutches of Assistant Perpetrator and Also Culpable Nick Pon.
From a personal perspective, we can’t even say how excited we are to see teams from Canada making the long trek. One, in fact, is coming from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta; this means they are driving right past my house when they go, and the fact that they haven’t contacted me to request that I join them on their adventure I can only chalk up to a mistaken oversight of the most egregious proportions.
Of particular note is the sheer number of teams: almost 160, by our best reckoning (ie, counting) presumably including some alternate teams. Just think; by lap five, almost 100 of those will have exploded into fiery balls of shrapnel and transmission fluid.
