A wonderful afternoon for racing! So we did. After laying down rubber for 4 hours, we finally had a failure. Good thing, because it was starting to get dark! Back to the shop, fix it up, and see you on the asphalt next weekend! Check back for pictures.

After a long summer, the team is back together to begin a new year. The season is started with a day of testing in the rain. With the rain tires installed and the car waterproofed, the team heads out to their local testing lot. After two hours of tire squealing and engine wailing, although soaked head to toe, the two test drivers report that the car runs strong and handles well, even in the wet!
