Mike ran a great race and finished third. The NGT guys and Leh were running head to head for hours.
Leh made a mistake at the very end of the race and NGT and TRG slipped by.

The top finishing Porsche in GT was Long and Bergmeister in 5th. Too bad. They had run near the top for a lot of the race.

I went to the race yesterday. The Petit is always exciting but, this year it did not have the drama of years past without Audi, Peugeot and Porsche vying for a top step and many of the championships already decided.

Thanks guys!

We had some bad luck with mechanicals before the race (axles, clutches, front sub-frame (lol?!?)) and a pretty heavy hit:



But the crew got it squared away in time for the race! During the race itself we had some bad luck with pit stops rite before yellows, some weird fuel use, radio issues, and more clutch problems but were able to steer clear of major trouble for 10 hours.
