We’re currently in 19th place. We got as high as 4th. Had some problems though:

• refueling takes a looong time
• we’re doing way more driver changes than others (which is fine)
• Brice got a black flag for spinning. Went into the penalty area too fast. They black flagged him again and the penalty was removing a plug wire. Had to drive that way for half an hour.
• The MR2 guys bombed into Scott. So he got black flagged (along with them) and the 2 drivers had to put on mardi gras masks and run around the paddock with their legs taped together. Fun, but delaying
• 10 min into Chuck’s 2nd run, he lost all power and had to pit in.
• We diagnosed each plug and each injector. Nada. Much delaying as we scrambled. Got some help from Volvo mechanic
• Turned out it jumped timing. There was a nut in the timing area that got caught in the pulley. this did bad things to the belt. We put it back together and had Martin go out.
• Scott and his dad, Joe went to auto parts store for new belt ($14.99)
• After Martin came in, Keith swapped the belt in about 15minutes.

Race!
