I know 2 guys that had an adventure and will kill the first guy they encounter with a open exhaust rotery engine LOL. They sound awful for 30 seconds at the time on TV, I can only imagine them in real life for 24hours......

I had something close to 2 hours of sleep in 20-25 minutes shifts.
As the pit stops were performed every 45 minutes or 24 laps give or take.
Randy was responsible for the refuel of the car and I was responsible for the crew board, showing drivers change, what kind of service needed to be performed, like fueling, pads, tire change etc... And after that prepare and calculate next stop.

The crew was great and very organized, we had a very smooth race and pit stops with no incidents (in the pits)
Pics and more info tomorrow as I can barely keep myself awake

Wow you guys really played a serious role in the gmg/orbit race team. It's really cool that you not only got to be members of the team but were an important part of the crew. That must have been a great experience. I can only imagine what its like to help make sure everything goes smooth for a solid 24 hours. Congrats on such a great job guys. Mush respect from me to yous

Damn that must have been some experience. Must have been hard work staying on point all night long huffing gas. Good job. Also I want to say thanks to everyone who posted the recap vids. Thats really cool
