Miata got hit

Driver's side rear suspension damage. Probably fixable, but makes it unlikely that the Saab will get worked on.

25th place when we came in.

Scouring the internet for junkyards

Meanwhile, the Miata is in 36th, and still has over half a tank of gas after over 2 hours on track because of how much yellow flag time there's been.

Saab is back in the pits again

Bump started it and immediately heard a nasty rattle. Going to pull the valve cover and take a look.

Saturday Morning Start

The Saab got 2 penalty laps because we didn't have documentation for what we did, but it didn't seem too unfeasible. The Miata got 0 despite the engine and transmission swap. It's raining pretty steadily, and I forgot to bring a jacket. Teams are filling into the grid now.
