The Dakar Rally starts in Buenos Aires tomorrow.  Competitors should be prepared for 14 days of the toughest race on earth.  Over 400,000 fans lined the route of a ceremonial parade lap today in the Argentine city. 

Team Double Diamond Rally Pan Am rider Jonah Street and his team hope for a podium finish.  The team wants to especially thank its long-time sponsors PAi, Klim and the Riff Raff, and new sponsor Schampa.  Without dedicated sponsors, this small team could never challenge for the top spot of such a huge event.

U.S. television coverage starts tomorrow on Versus Network, which will air 2 or more half-hour features each day of the event.  For up-to-the-minute information, visit the team’s website at www.rallypanam.com for news items and sign up for the team’s Twitter updates from the race.
