Anybody else here going to be at the 25hr? I'll be working tech Thurs and Fri, and will stick around at least for the start Sat.

Stop by and say hi - tech will be set up under the permanent canopy. I will have my usual collection of hardware with me.

If anyone needs any Blainefab parts/equipment etc, I can deliver. Call now 831 427-3296

Nick Steel, Brady Flaherty, Chris ??? and I were up there running a CMC Mustang in E1. Had an absolute BLAST in my first 25 hour. Did a tripple at night in the on again/off again rain. An absolute MUST driving experience for those that haven't done one.

Finished 26th overall and 11th in class. We had no issues with the car and were only behind the wall for 20 min for a scheduled brake pad change. We would have done much better in class, but there were 5 factory MX-5's and 2 S2000R's that were completely out of reach as far as times go.

There was also a Daytona Prototype there that was DAMN fast. They qualified at 1:40 and ran 1:41 at night in the rain. During my tripple stint, I had my team mate ahout 6 car lengths behind me going into 10 when I checked my mirrors, next thing I know I have the prototype next to me when I went to turn into 11. Scared the piss outta me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

There was also a TON of jackassery from other drivers. It was like they were all in a 20 min sprint race or something..... I'm sure Nick will post a link to the pics we took with his Camera at some point.
