The Revology BOSS 429 Mustang with the support truck and trailer have safely made it back to the American Muscle Car Museum from the Great Race.
Definitely an incredible experience, and all 6,339 miles of driving the support truck was an adventure.
This was a total AMCM team effort, with the support team driving in the truck and Ryan back at the Museum keeping everything running smoothly.
We wanted to share our experiences as a support team with the Great Race on this trip. Before heading out, we gave the 1969 Revology Boss 429 Mustang a full inspection in our shop, pulled wheels and tires, and gave the vehicle a full check-over with fresh fluids.
In the support team trailer, we took as many tools and pieces of equipment as we could safely fit in there for anything that might come up, along with extra parts. Starting June 12th, Mark was driving the Revology BOSS 429 Mustang up the East Coast, visiting several race tracks along with other notable stops. We left the AMCM on the morning of June 16th, headed to Springfield, Illinois, with the truck and trailer, and met Mark there that evening of June 17th.
Thursday June 18, morning started early as Karen and I applied all the sponsor decals to the car in the hotel parking lot before driving it for vehicle inspection and to check in at registration. Friday was our first practice run of the car, with Saturday being the official start day.
In the evenings we would check in with Mark and Curt as to anything we needed to address along with also get their run number for the next day so we could plan time accordingly for our tasks in the evening/morning, download photos and send to Andrew. We looked the vehicle over top to bottom, recheck tire pressures and recheck torque on the wheel lug nuts, check over all engine fluids, top off fuel tank, and then detail vehicle out along with the most important thing of getting ice for the small cooler with diet Coke and water for the driver and navigator. Once we felt confident of our inspection, we would turn over the key's to Mark and Curt for their day of driving, at that point, we would travel to the next city. Support teams are strickly forbidden from following the rally route and we have our own designated route to follow.
They had daily stops for the support crew and staff to visit, those are something we will share in the coming weeks, once we arrived in the next town we would check all of our team into the hotels and make sure everything was set and then travel to the designated trailer drop off area.
The Great Race was truly an incredible experience to be a part of and to see a lot of behind-the-scenes workings that all went on. It truly is tons of hours that the Great Race team puts in to put this on, it was also amazing to be a part of the camaraderie between the drivers, team owners, and support staff (over 500 total poeple involved) as a lot of evenings in the hotel parking lots meant working on the cars and getting them ready for the next day. I think we lent out more tools than we actually used and made many new friends. What an Incredible Adventure to be a part of!!
