sad sad day for me! i was on the front row and got a good start at the enduro and on the first lap coming into five while leading the class and race overall my shifter linkage broke and ended the race as soon as it started to get exciting. Got the thing back together and going to try to give a run at it in the sprint race tomorrow!

Mo - a few of us wondered what happened to you. We were crewing for a buddy in D, and saw you were missing. Good to hear all is back together. Good luck tomorrow.

Sunday's enduro was good for the east coast GTC1 crew. The top 3 overall were Charlie (Jupeman), me and then Andy Jenks (ajenks). Was a great time. It was utter madness with 90+ cars on tha track at the same time. Video to come soon.

Btw, the Road America corner works are the best. Seriously, where else do they keep the track green when a safety truck is flying around (and you get to pass the safety truck).

The only times they had to shut the track down was when there were LARGE amounts of oil, through multiple turns.

Colin, glad the enduro went well for you guys. After a while and having moved around from corner to corner I couldn't keep up with where people were. The worst was when people went in for their pitstop and then a double yellow shows up and I don't have a worker nearby to relay info.

There were a few times where I coudln't get a shot of your car because the traffic was so dense.

The enduro with the GTA/3/4 cup cars started with an accident on first lap -- all the cup cars were overheating because the pace car was driving too slowly they ended up having to come into the pits.

That was the reason...I was curious as to why they pulled you into the pits.

I was on the outside of turn one (shooting with one hand and waving people away from the oil with the other) and the oil slick was big and even though the crew were super fast in cleaning it up it still took a long time. The trail went right through the apex at 3 and they spent a good amount of time really getting that part clean.
