Her progress so far (green unvisited, gray visited) is on the following map. Please take her to a green state!! Thank you.

About this item:
The following are the rules:

1. Racers may not be mailed, shipped, transported, grabbed, etc between cachers or muggles after the race starts, but must be carried from cache to cache by cachers. Racers can be placed by any cacher (including any racer bug owner), can be placed multiple times by the same cacher, and placements can include in-out placements.
2. Racers may only be placed in regular/micro caches, no virtual or locationless caches. Some micros are pretty big, so they can't be ruled out, but hopefully the racer could actually fit in the cache, even if the drop is an in-out.
3. The race started 1 May 2004 and will be over 4 July 2005.

When I was growing up in the Midwest, the Pontiac Trans Am was one of those cool American cars that guys drove. (I never had one.) Of course, it had to have Boston (538K, 30 sec clip of "More Than a Feeling") blaring out of the 8-track player too to complete the picture.

The race details can be found on: http://users.rcn.com/brad.32/raceamerica/rta.htm

Her hood is too big, the passenger area should extend farther forward, etc.
