I didn't even know there WERE classes until the awards ceremony! 10th in class after all of our problems... I'll accept that!
Wow... studying those lap charts really tells a lot. Anytime our car was out, it was consistently gaining position, never losing more than a slot or two here or there. That means that all of our drivers were pretty good.
One surprise I noticed, though... Sunday morning after our first three drivers were up, we'd caught up to 9th place!!! If we hadn't had any mechanical problems Sunday, we could have finished in the top 10 in spite of the long delay Saturday. Damn!
Oh, and I topped my 1:09 lap with a 1:08.7. Looks like that happened in one of my final laps in my last session right before Jeff went out.
Damn, that was fun!

Finally made it back to Tampa at about 1:30pm today. Had 4 flat tires! One on each of our trucks and trailers throughout the trip... I think we were cursed or something.
After a loooooooong nap and a few brews (not in that order) I'll post what I have.
Thanks for the great shot of my father and I! I appreciate it! You guys can drive the plum anytime!
...anyone wanna do the full 24 Hours in Sept??

If anyone's got a spot on a team for September... I might be interested. Lemme know.
Hmmm... just read the event info. 24 hours straight. Cool! Seriously, let me know. I'm free that weekend. Can probably find some money somewhere... maybe. I'd be lighter with one less kidney, right?

We rented the transponder so can't see my laptimes, kinda sucks 
Oh well, the FL part of our team is building a car next year, so the We Todd Did civic hatchback will be driven by the NC/SC guys only.
And the clutch will be changed before hand in the FL car....

Not sure if any of you caught this yet but a local (Columbia SC) TV station was out at the track on Friday doing a piece... Some great footage of our car and Euro Trash.

So which Black flag was this one???
QUOTE]
that would be Kyle on lap like 5 or something rediculous!
at least we can say we we're the first team black flagged
we placed 40th overall, 12th in our class, and were as high as 33rd on Sun.
i ran our fastest time of 1:13.00
guess our car was too vulgar for TV
