Great race :D

BTW, whatever happened to the two cars in front of you at the start of the race? They seemed to pull off a commanding lead in the first lap.

@TheRenalicious They both ran into issues. If you watch closely I go past both of them at different points in the race.

So, may I ask you what happened on Saturday? I was in the station just past the starter when you pulled into the gap in the wall. I was getting ready to check on you when you puttered off and took an administrative finish.

[teamekr]

@Albinobluenardz I stopped because the engine stumbled and then the oil pressure went to zero. After I stopped the pressure came back up so I limped back to the pits. I didn't know it at the time but the diaphragm in the wastegate had torn and the oil pressure issue was just wiring to the gauge. The wastegate ruined Sunday too.

Wow! What a drive. Congrats.

But on a serious note, tell me . . . did you steal your steering wheel off of a Greyhound Bus? Just wonderin'

[teamekr]

@jimmc8 Ah geez, the crap I have to put up with....you keep wondering.

@crownfox

I really hung it out there a few times to stay in front. I knew i was toast on the next straight at approx. the 5:14 mark. The traffic killed the gap i needed to cover the front straight. Great drive E.

Don't worry, i don't have time to post the other 4 races - cough,cough.....:)

Cue some bad language from the red/black E46 at about the 5:45 mark... :D
