Just being on the track at Watkins Glen was a real treat! And every turn and rise kept the mood alive. Looking ahead was a silhouette that was a bit hard to make out; then we got closer, and then a little closer.

Sure enough, it was the famous Illuminati Motor Works pure electric car "Seven"!
If the entire event wasn't cool enough, and now to be alongside an X-Prize contender in an mpg rally - yeah baby!

Team Centurion's navigator - Sheepdog 44 - seized the moment by taking a break from the dauntless task of tracking us around the endless asphalt loop in order to meet the target lap times.

Yes, it was quite a sight watching him set aside the ink well and parchment ledger. Then there was the relocation of the precision dash mounted sundial, and lastly, the onboard abacus rounded out our full array of technology which complimented the retro-wedge we were shoe-horned into.

At last alongside of the silent and graceful Illuminati "Seven", Sheepdog 44 snaps a truly rare shot:

Exquisite flowing lines - - - What a beauty!

With all of the excitement on the track and targeting lap times, time was flying by! But not so fast we couldn't get some additional footage.. Stay tuned as more silent movies are extracted from the dvr
