Testing, Tech, and Final Prep

Well, for the most part today was no fun for JD and I. We ate some bad food last night and suffered all day from food poisoning. We drove some laps in the AM in the wet and it was VERY slippery. After lunch and tech inspection, we hit a dry track and had lots of fun. The car is GREAT... Steve and Diane ran some strong laps and got very comfortable with the circuit. Dylan has jumped right into the role of crew chief and is doing a penominal job, especially since this is his first ever auto racing experience.

Tech went very easily with nearly zero requests for fixes. We also flew through the B.S. part of tech which is where they question if your car is really only worth $500. There are some funny machines out there, really funny...

Our fuel economy is insanely good. we were on track most of the day and used only one tank of gas. We tried to run it out to see how far we could go, but ran out of time. So, the stints tomorrow should be loooooooooooong.

We did some final prep to the car and had another team dinner. JD and I are still in rough shape and hoping tomorrow is a little better.
