One hour to go...

We are now in 16th, and barring mechanical catastrophe of ours or the competition, that's probably where we'll finish. A few more problems struck...yet another pair of broken wheels (at the hub, this is getting old...I don't want to run this car any more with stock wheels, it seems they always break on MY shift...hmmmmm.....), a broken wheel stud in the replacement right rear (fixed that one on pit road in style, but I had to run at reduced speed until the team was ready to fix it (again, why does this sort of thing always happen while I'm driving...I don't even drive on the rumble strips!). Robert, Stephen, Dennis, Kevin and myself are all having a great time anyway!
