Looks like the stickers we used to get at Stucky's to put on the station wagon window.
Ooops, I'm showing my age. 8-)'

GMAN: Since there are no shots of the Godlewskis do you think we could have our first Fast Forward??

Did a little checking. Best I can judge is that trip from Charleston SC to Huntsville AL is about 450 miles by interestate. Assuming that buses do not exceed speed limit (65miles per hour) we are looking at a trip of from 7 to 8 hours. If buses leave at 8PM and second bus at 9PM, they would be arriving in Huntsville at about 3 and 4AM.
Also in the pix we have from NASA it looks like all of the teams shown are just mousing along; nobody is racing and the teams seem close together. So this looks to me like after the teams reach the matt and are now going to the Marriott Hotel for the 12 hour (or longer) rest stop. Also note that the teams are carrying all their gear including the camping stuff they picked up in New York which means all of the teams had to check their baggage at IAD. Does this mean the teams are going to camp out again somewhere??
Chateau d If:
GMan the travel time from Charleston to Hunstville is about 11 hours so I was thinking that the first bus leaves around 2 pm.
I corrected for the one hour timezone change.
Opps. Theres a whole day to play with here! |(

But we have the first teams arrivng in Huntsville around midnight: "The first teams did not arrive until about midnight and the last team came in around 4-5 a.m. "
What's been bothering me is that "the last team came in around 4-5a.m." describes a single team and not a bus of teams -- and the Godlewski's are still missing! Are there 3 buses and only one team on the last one?
