Yah, most of the pics I've taken are up here: http://gallery.noid.org/gallery/2007-25hour

My stints went very smoothly. I did 19:50 to 22:15, 04:30'ish to 07:00 and brought it home with the 10:45 to 12:00 stints.

The first stint was pretty uneventful (Other than getting myself to settle in and run 2:13's and not 2:09 - 2:10s). The second stint was a bit tougher. There was some intermittent rain during the first part of the stint which with a combination of trying to save the brakes made it a bit challenging to bang out laps. I had a couple of moments, particularly in turn 3 where I went a bit wide and started to slide pretty badly in the slag and dirt that was offline. It didn't help that people started driving like jackasses for a while. It wasn't long before those folks ended up in the infield and thing settled down. The biggest drama came around 6:45 or so when I got divebomed by an MX5 cup miata going into turn 11. The asshat hit me just in front of the left rear wheel and then the left front wheel. The impact spun me around and stalled the motor. I got it fired back up and after giving the car a bit of shake back and forth going down the back straight figured that the only damage was probably some toe-in on the left front wheel so I kept on banging laps out till I got called in for a driver's change.
