Official inspection will begin at 8:00 PM. Bicycle and crew cars must be inspected for the proper equipment and conditions. Sakurai, here seen checking his bike, is used to Los Angeles.  Jet lag and U.S. weather conditions are not a problem for him. (right, DC-2)

8:00 arrives and the inspection begins. It is dusk in LA because of "Day Light Savings Time." He will pass inspection quickly this time because of his experience last year.(left, DC-2)

More support members arrived in LA yesterday. Despite jet lag, they work to convert the rent-a-car into a pace car right up to inspection time.(right, DC-2)
