I hope you enjoy it! I had the privilege of talking with Eric, the builder of the unstoppable 4 liter boxermotor. I also had the pleasure of watching a very fast and loud BMW 325i chase #97 for about an hour on Sat. afternoon, and literally killed itself trying to keep up with this superb 993!

Dan, Thanks for the video! Sorry we didn't get to meet on Saturday. Thanks everyone else for your support!

Here is part of my final post on the blog...

Just think… with our damaged car we ran 5 seconds per lap slower than we were running prior to the wreck. We ran damaged for 16 hours. Do the math and you will find that the slower laps cost us about 32 laps over those 16 hours and guess how much we lost the class win by? 32 laps. Add in the 15 laps we lost fixing the car and trying to put the new wing on… and… we finish first in class and second overall.

They should just send us the trophy!

Here is my favorite photo of the race. No where else will you find these two cars racing together, this is what the 25 Hour is about - everyone should do it at least once.
