Grand-Am GOTO:Racing: The Highs and Lows of Mid-Ohio

The EMCO Gears Classic at Mid-Ohio is now over. It was a long race weekend punctuated with extreme highs and lows, where the whole team demonstrated their never give up attitude. It all started out when the GOTO crew stopped off in Las Vegas, and decided to do a little gambling. Brian Lock, usually a crack blackjack player, was down $100 in the end, an ominous sign of the week to come. The next hiccup came just outside of Topeka, Kansas, where the team stopped to make an inspection of the rig and stretch their legs when Steve noticed one of the wheels looked like it was ready to fall off. A bearing had seized, but with the help of a local shop, six hours later the axel was tied up and the rig was on its way with five wheels instead of six.

You have an interesting definition of the word "fun" . It was a very tough weekend for the soul to endure. The only fun I had was my drive at the first stint, possibly the most fun I have ever had in the Legacy. I will have video up of that stint later this week.
