Qualified a very strong 4th on the grid. Lost a few spots on the start and had the right front hit pretty hard about lap five. (this was going to come back and haunt us later). We dropped to (about 18th) after a long pit stop to assess damage,do fuel, tires and a driver change. The new driver, Andrew got us into the top 10 running 9th and going after 8th, when there was a power separation from the engine to the driveline, this happened on the last lap, and we ended up limping in at 11th. Lime Rock is in two weeks.

Im watching the race on Speed right now and they failed to mention that you guys were having issues, just that you couldn't do anything unless it rained.

Yeah, the coverage was atrocious at best, we led quite a few laps and were the first to pit for fuel, everyone ahead of us had to come in, we were in real good shape to at least get on the podium.
