25 Jun 05      Lafayette, IN                     Day 10 - More briefings and sightseeing

 

 

Lafayette , Indiana

 

Timing sheets will be handed out during the day, and this is the time to go over the times and see if the timing we have are the same as those taken by the official timers at each stop. Of course we won't find out who the winners are until the banquet on Sunday. (The top 10 teams have their airplanes inspected in the morning – We did not make the top 10 as they were notified Friday night of the need to be at the airport in the morning).

 

3:00 p.m. - We had the First time racers debriefing in which each of the racers had the opportunity to talk about their experience and give feedback about the race in general.

 

4:00 pm – We had a private viewing of the Amelia Earhart Collection @ Purdue University . It was great to read and see all the exhibits about Amelia Earhart and other female aviators who open the way for other women like us to participate in events such as this Air Race.

 

Later we stopped and had some beers at Scotty's Brewhouse and went to Dinner at "Hour Times" Restaurant with a group of other racers and "the husbands."
