A disappointing end

Car started making bad noises and Jerrit brought it in to be safe. Looks like we're out

21st with a but

We were in 13th when Randy got out and I got in. At the track entrance, we for donned for a fuel spill (which we had cleaned up). After about 3 laps I got black flagged. Wasn't sure if I had missed a yellow and passed someone, so I came back to the penalty box. They called me in for the same fuel spill again! So that cost us a few laps. I think I was faster this time, but it's hard not to lose a few spots when you're standing still for a few extra minutes.

In in 13th, out in 17th

We had a plan this pit stop and got the car turned around in 6 minutes, so we only lost 4 places. Tantalizingly close to the top 10...

Day 2 begins

Oleg is in the car, but unfortunately the timing and scoring information isn't online so we won't know if he's gaining positions.

23rd after day one

Last time we were 29th after day 1 and picked up 6 more spots on day 2. That would give us a Top 20 finish this time.

30th after my stint

That includes the driver change and refuel. I didn't think I was that fast, but I can't have between terrible if that's where we are after stopping. Nikolai will probably finish out the day.

Top 20

Randy has us in 19th, but we'll obviously fall back again when we change drivers to put me in the car.

First pit stop

Jerrit ran the tank dry and we came in in the 20s, but we lost a ton of places during the driver change.

Still not started

They're pulling every car into the hot pits to check them one at a time for using the police band radio. We can only assume the punishment will be severe.

Overheard announcement

"If you are using a radio on a police frequency, please turn it off. The Vallejo police are not happy."

No penalty laps

Like last time we didn't get any penalty laps, so we're on even footing. Here are some photos of us in costume.
