According to the race tracker -- Musica and Hot Ticket are running real close to each other.  Hot Ticket is 7.40 nm from the finish and Musica is 7.60.

I know they are within calling range because Laura Thomas just got a call from Simon aboard Hot Ticket.

Hot Ticket in at 5:30.
If you replay the tracker Musica and Hot Ticket were racing neck and neck for the entire 640+ miles, swapping leads multiple times. They finished within 20 minutes of each other. HT at 18:20; Musica 18:40. Amazing.

Nice job GBCA racers! Now its time to win the party  8)
