Final Stint... End of Day 1


Diane drove for about 1.5 hours, handing the car over to me for the final 2 or so hours.

After another smooth pitsop, I was on track and having fun. This little car is totally amazing. It is SO fast through the corners it's unbelievable. We can carry so much speed into and through corners that it's almost not fair. Cars that walk by us on the straight are suprisngly overtaken in both low and high speed corners and in the entries of brake zones. AND we are not abusing the brakes or tires much at all.


During my stint I entered the race in 21st place and by the time we took the checker we were in 11th place. Several passes per every lap was the drill, with some impressive handling from our little 212,000 mile Paseo with blown front shocks.


After we took the checker for day-1, JD, Dylan, and I went over the car and prepared it for tomorrow. Tomorrow's race will be 5 hours long and possibly in the rain...
