Forgot to add some important context... It was Hupfer's first time ever at wg. On his one and only DE day before the CR he was already running 2:12s!!!!! Unfortunately he hit the wall In T6 and couldn't do a 2nd DE day because Brian was fixing his ca4 - kudos to Eurosport for getting Hupfer back out there for Practice 1 during which he ran a 2:12 again... After that session, Hupfer fought fuel delivery problems all weekend. Could have been a very different and more interesting weekend frankly.

As for Dan Jacobs and his team, if it wasn't for him I would have been in the stands watching all weekend due to a broken shift fork and "missing" piece that required the transmission to come out. All I ended up missing was the 1st practice and was able to qualify thanks to him and Bela (and Bela's spare parts!), words can't express it...

As we are on the toppic......... I can not speak highly enough of Dan and the Hairy dog team. I got tagged going into the bus stop and punted into the barrier in sprint 2. The car looked a mess but thanks to Bela, Dave and JAson they spent almost 4 hours all on the car getting it back in shape. I never thought I would have a chance of getting back on track for the Enduro but thanks to them i did. Even better I won workers choice so I owe it to you guys.!!!!!
thanks !!!!
thanks !!!!

Most probably put a rear wheel off track exiting the laces and ended up backwards in the armco. There was bit of damages on the driver side of the car (rear quarter, front fender, front bumper was off, and wheel was a quite inward).
He was quite quick before it happened. They started last (don't know why) and they were catching up on the field quite quickly.
