Yes, there is a spot map.  And a daily update from the organizers.

Here is the tracker.   http://tracker.r2ak.com

And a link to a daily update.  I expect you will find the rest.   http://r2ak.com/daily-updates-2/june-8

Now see…. I didn’t know anything about it!  :)  Thanks for posting this, Dave!  Is there a link to a map (like a SPOT map where racing teams are identified)?
