Alan Goldsmith and Dominik Scherer are Absolutely Fine

Racer update about:
Hi this is Alan Goldsmith. I wanted you know that I am absolutely fine and Dominik is absolutely fine. We had to press the 911 on the Spots this afternoon because we were the first on the scene at car accident. We helped out with the rescue and the SPOT thing eventually got through to the emergency services so that was good. So that was good. It works. We are both fine. We are in Silverthorne. We are going to stop here and we'll call you later. Just get the message out to everyone on the internet that we are both absolutely 100% fine. We were not involved in any accident at all and we were just helping out with rescue. The SPOT did work but a bit slow. I think they actually got the signal from some woman I flagged down in the road who drove down the mountain to get cell phone coverage. So SPOT is quite good but not quick enough. In a real emergency, need to be faster. Talk to you later. Bye. (recorder time: 2008-06-27 16:47:21 EST)

Alaiiin, you know how to keep us on the edge of our seats back here. I reckon you should get a bonus hot tub for this. You're doing ace - well done mate.
