Bikes and trucks all got through scrutineering today with no problems.  It takes a while, lots of administrative checks and bureaucracy, but after about 5 hours we finished.

The bad news was we learned that the organization changed the rules of the race but did not announce it.  The 160kmh speed limit from last year, that the ASO has been telling us would remain this year, has been removed.  Unfortunately that means our 525 based rally bikes are seriously underpowered.  Jonah and Casey's riding will overcome a lot of this, but it definitely hurts our overall chances.
