We just put the owner of the car in and changed a left rear wheel. Still having some radio issues but we are working with it. Im confident Mike can turn some fast laps in the dark and catch us up!
Checked timing and scoring computer, we are currently in 7th

Woohooo... Nice job Brian. Doing well. Good luck to Mike.
I'm with blue.. that's kind of sad to hear. Let us know what caused the CR to go out of commission.

Update - Just took mike out of the car and put his brother in. Brian is our main Grand Am driver (Mike and Brian drove thier grand am legacey to 2nd placed at miller this year). After we put him in the course went to a full corse yellow with a pace car for about 5 laps. After the track went green again Brian started posting VERY fast laps (almoste faster than we want to go).
From what I understand is that the driver of the S lost the rear end going over the bypass, got into a little tank slapper at the bottom and the car just rolled onto its roof. The driver was not hurt.
o.k. its my scheduled sleep time, so I will update after my nap.

IIRC the first place car was a mazdaspeed. I think the new model of the mx-5 or something like that...

ok. we are in 4th in clas and 10th overall. The car is loosing power on top end, we think the fuel filter is clogging up. with only an hour to go we are going to limp it home. The car is complaining, hadeling is off, brakes are soft, and no power... so we are on pins and needles. ever sence the sun has come up the drivers have been pushing HARD, we have been "hit" seveal times by 1 inclass car.
about 45 min ago the team honda research S2k CR took first place from the MX5 cup car ... I hope they can stay on top, would like to see a honda on top of the podium ( if we cant be )
this will by my last update untill i get home..
