First Stint (John Dean) / First Pitstop


Just got out of the car for the first stint in the lemon (poopsie), as we have named her cause of our latest run in with food poisoning. I was bolted in that thing for two and a half hours of absolute mayham. There were many yellows, and serious confussion with the flag workers. The best way of explaining my stint was that it was like clubbing baby seals. The most open track that I saw was for about 3 corners then I was back in dense traffic. The race standings are displayed at the end of every hour. We were in second place at the end of hour two and three. Our goal is to win on fuel economy. Less fuel stops.

Our pitstop went very weel, with Dylan dumping about 8 gallons of fuel like a true pro. Steve is in the car now and has lost radio communication. We will resort to using pit boards for communication. AND as of hour 3, we are still in 2nd place... Go Poopsie GO!
