Half way point, back up to 16th. Eric is driving now. Car needs a good wash and polish but it's driving ok.

Just finished up my second stint. Drove like a mad man for pretty much the entire time and was keeping pace with the class leaders (I actually followed the guy in second place around for the entirety of the first fuel run without ever going more than a second down on him) and picked up 2 spots. At that time we were 40 seconds down from 7th and about 50 up from 9th. Sadly right after I passed the car off to Sergei he got hit with a speeding penalty and had to come back in for a 15 second penalty. We are currently sitting 11th and 5 seconds down from 10th.

Great stint by Eric, he has us back up to 13th running consistent fast laps.

Team #2 is 12th place in class and within two laps of 7th place. Running on-pace with the cars we're racing.
Zach and Sergei are beasts.

Team #1 is still sitting in 12th place. Just putting in laps.
Edit: Got hit by an HPD in Sunset, spin but no damage. On the pit cycle stop and hold for 15 seconds for speeding in the pits. we are up to 10th.

Pete just finished a great 2 stints (I'll let him expand if he wants to). Went into pits 8th, came out as 10th with Paul at the wheel. Surprised the racing is still so close. We should be able to get back into the top 10s when people go to pit.

I stuck the RR into the grass coming out of turn 4 and doored it into the tires. After 18 minutes repairs, I went back out for my second hour in 16th. Up to 15th now that I'm out of the car, Zach in with 1:45 to go. We have a chance to steal 14th if we play the fuel game.

How much fun was that. A stupid self induced spin by changing down to quickly and a non self induced spin by a HPD(thanks for no apology), but as with the middle of a race, just pounding out laps and letting other teams fall off the track, we are climbing back up the leader board.

Yea. this 2nd half the race has been going great. And by second half, i mean everything that isn't my first 2 stints. Again, sorry for those offs. I'm not sure how I managed to do it - the car seemed to have plenty of grip both times and then suddenly broke off. I think I just needed more practice. My dumb mistakes probably cost us the win.

I had the same problem in turn 4 Eric. Something strange...car just snaps.
Last hour, and I calculated fuel to get Zach home. Attrition dropped some cars down the leaderboard, but they're in a gaggle within two laps of us. Running on pace with the scratch 'n dents and losing 1 - 2 seconds a lap to the clean cars.
We're currently 14th in class, with a soloist in front that will DQ. We might also be able to snag a position on the fuel game.

Team 1 just finished 6th. Paul had a great last 2 stints to close it up. We were lucky to have one of the cars in front of us crash out. Otherwise we'd be 7th.
