Pitstop #1. With little time to practice driver and wheel changes the first pitstop was a little rough but Terry did his part to make it up on the track. The second stop (not yet uploaded) was much smoother with Terry giving way to Johnathan the 3rd driver.

Will update shortly after debrief with Rick and Terry. Don't forget to click the live timing and scoring tab in the upper left hand corner. We are currently 19th overall. Not bad for starting 46th!

GREEN GREEN GREEN!
At roughly 11am the green flag dropped. Rick was the starting driver, known for being very aggressive while also being very safe, he was the obvious choice to lead this horse into battle. Rick gained several spots early and after 1 hour in, and 24 to go the car is getting faster.
Rick has moved from 46th to 22nd place overall in 90 minutes.

We Qualified!!!
We barely got the car in working order to make it out for qualifying in the dark. The alignment was ball parkish but not right. The car had no bumpers, airdam, splitter. No rear wing and a ratchet strap to hold the trunk lid closed. We still have much work to do to the car. We ended up 46th overall.

Wish us luck for tomorrow.
This is what the car looked like for qualifying:
