I'll post up some pictures tomorrow as I forgot my camera at the track.

I'm guessing you got the car running and are racing today. Keep us posted...

 

Hey Mike,

I took a few photos of the Scion from the race.

Pre-roll over

 

Saw GOTO did really well. 414 laps. Best lap of 1:59. 36 over all. 13th in class.

and of course... GST.. great friggin job guys.
Best lap of 1:58. Total laps of 390. 42nd over all and..... 9th in class.

Great job. If you're not all still sleeping I'd be surprised.

 

Actually, post roll over. The GST crew did a great job getting it back on track.

How not to start your 25hr endurance race!

hell of a job getting it back on the track guys.

If you look at averages and fastest lap you did real well.

Looks like 6th in average lap time in class.

 

Yea and considering we broke 4th gear after around 2 hours 45 mins that's not to bad as missing 4th was killing our lap times, of course that doesn't include the fact we got hit 3 times (confirms my belief that Miata drovers are gehy!) Broke a rear hub and so on and so on.

I honestly don't think I can do a write up to cover this event as I would be finishing it while we're at the event next year!

Arg, we would have finished better, more like 6'th in class, if our control arm did not break with about 1:15 to go in the race. We also had a wheel stud snap that put us behind the wall for 19 minutes and cost about 9 laps. If not for that we would have been fighting for the class win. But that is what the 25 hour is all about, the what if's and could have been's.

 

You guys did well. Especially down a driver.

 

haaaaaaa. true that. I always hear of people complaining about getting slapped around.

think maybe the crash had something to do with loosing 4th? Something bend?

 

Probably, apparently the tranny didn't feel the same afterwards with it being a little notchier that it was before. Then again not sure what felt the same after the wreck, all the motor mounts were done the motor moved around so much it tore one of the silicon couplers for the FMIC.

I have to say that was the best 25hrs race I have done by far, it makes a world of difference the people you have in your team be it the principle, crew or drivers and lucky for us the whole outfit were top notch with not one grumble or complaint from anyone at anytime.

Now I am going to scrape the paint of the car to try and find the f%$king bullseye that must be on the car somewhere.

I think the car will be a contender next year for sure, Time Attack will be it's first port of call though which should enable us to further develop the handling and power package for next years 25!

Best news of the day so far is I found 3 panels without dents, Game on she's ready to race again!!!!

Sound like a dirt track racer... you sure you've never done any circle track racing??? haaaaa.
