We lost a lot of positions because of the fix, but it held and all of our drivers got back out for some fun on Sunday afternoon.
Anytime. Glad we could help.
I think the last hour was the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel. I was on the ragged edge (literally, at times) playing with that 351W Mustang, and working through the rest of the field (including the winner) in the process. The other driver and I talked afterwards about how we both really enjoyed the cat and mouse game in traffic. Seriously, I haven't had a battle that good since Easter, and that was against Tony Stewart at VIR!
We had no luck (trans failure/swap, brake caliper failure/swap, hub failure/swap, electrical failure/repairs, and got hit multiple times), but we still had a blast, and turned the third fastest lap of the weekend. I guess finishing 52nd in a car we hoped could win overall would be considered a failure by most, but we had a blast anyway. Thanks to Duff Beer for the caliper grease, to Christine for the rum cake, and to the staff for another fun event. See you guys in Chicago!
