23rd

Oleg ran a long stint to finish out the race, and one of the cars ahead of us breaking down with 20 minutes left in the race meant we could pick up an extra spot at the end.

First black flag

I got a penalty because someone tried to dive bomb me on the inside of a slow corner and I never saw them. It was our first penalty, but it was the second for the guys who hit us which meant they got a humiliating penalty which we got dragged into. Hopefully I'll be able to post a photo of that later. Because of the time we spent off the track we dropped down to 39th after the first hour, but Jerrit got behind the wheel and has us up to 32nd already.

End of day 1: 29th

Randy got a second stint and picked up a few places for us to close out the day, while setting a new fastest lap for the team. Part of the reason he got a second stint was that I got an upset stomach during my stint and brought it in after 25 minutes just to play it safe. I'll be taking the first stint tomorrow when it's cooler, and hopefully I'll be able to make up for lost time.

35th after 4 hours

Randy set our best lap early in the day with a 2:26. Oleg is out there now. So far we've been managing 80 minutes per stint with 10 minutes between for refueling and getting the new driver strapped in.

Green flag at Thunderhill

The Miata is fueled up, Randy is at the wheel, and we have 115 opponents to outrace over the next two days. Also, we didn't get any penalty laps this time, so we have a chance at being competitive. It's already hot and humid, so we may have to run short stints to keep the driver hydrated despite the cool shirt pump.
