Who do you expect to be the A's rival when they move to Vegas. Will the Giants series still have any interest, or will it be like watching the A's play the Padres in an interleague matchup?

I have an my first 50-mile race in 2 weeks and could use some advice on fueling and logistics. The course layout is four 12.5-mile loops. Each loop ends right back at the start/finish line, which is where my car will be parked.

Because of this setup, I have a few specific questions:

• Drop Bags vs. Car: Since I pass my car every 12.5 miles, is there any reason to bother with official drop bags, or should I just treat my trunk as my primary crew station?
• Water Capacity: There are 5 aid stations per loop (3 full, 2 water-only). Will running with just two 500ml flasks on my vest be enough liquid capacity between stops, or should I carry more? It should be in the 90's for a lot of the race.
• Fueling Strategy: To be honest, my training has mostly been focused on just grinding out the miles, and I haven't dialed in a strict nutrition plan. What should I absolutely bring myself, and what can I reasonably assume standard ultra aid stations will provide?

Any other advice to get me through?
