| Final Update, Last Race
Actually, it appears to me that he did have a defroster, just that it wasn't working well.
Now for Sunday's race. Results just came out yesterday, I was waiting on them.
I participated in a 3hr, 15 min enduro. I had a co-driver, I was second driver. I am so glad that I didn't start. Approximately 80 cars took to the track at once. About 25% of them were competing in a Sprint race within the enduro. So, after about 30 minutes, the checkered was waved and those cars were done. But the start looked scary, so many different cars, even worse, different agendas. In a sprint race you want to gain position quickly and will take more risks. In an enduro, you're more interested in making the car last and being consistent.
My group entered 4 cars. Within the first 30 minutes, 3 of them were out. One crashed into the back of one of my friends, also a rookie. Two of them blew motors. The pressure was on me and my co-driver to finish. Boy was I nervous.
After about 1 hr 40 min my car came in for fuel and driver change. He got out, I hopped in, someone helped me with the harnasses. While this was going on, fuel was added and the brakes and tires checked. Then off I went.
I was lucky, I got the easy part of the race. It was mostly uneventful. I just drove the car. My lap times improved by 6 seconds during the 1 1/2+ hrs that I was out there, but I'm still leaving tons on the table. I thought I'd be exhausted after I was done, but I actually felt pretty good. Just my wrists were getting sore (no power steering).
Results: We finished 23rd out of 48 cars, 11th in class out of 21 cars.
I learned a lot this weekend, and now I just need more racing time to implement what I learned!
Hope you all enjoyed the recap!  |
