Good job man. Just finished mine and made 185 miles. Relatively uneventful race... thankfully. Lol. Other than me botching the qually lap bahahaha. So for the race I just let everyone pass me, and started dead last, and managed to get ahead of three people. I believe it was Richy, DWARF, and someone else.

Sorry guys, about 30 minutes into stint 4 my brother accidentally bumped the power switch to the power strip that had my router plugged into it. So that put our XPR Tequila Patron team 3.5 Hours behind the leaders.

Needless to say, my family's life insurance policy is gonna pay wonders.

Don't sweat it man, the whole kit and kaboodle kind of fell apart today anyway, it's more or less just for fun now.

Still doing the next stint too right? Just checking, that's what's listed here and on TORA.

That's ok. It just wasn't in the cards for us at Sebring Sad

XP Racing had a lagout, XPR Ultimat had personal issues and I think only had 2 drivers, XPR Patron only had 2 drivers as well, as TopSecret broke his hand. XPR Pennzoil had the best chnace of doing well, but then we had multiple issues, compunded by my flu.

I can say probably the best part of my day was being in the commentry booth with Adrian, Duncan, Trash, Richy and Jenson. AND not feeling like the odd man out!

I would like to thank everyone that competed. Through so much adversity, we all pulled together and got the job done. It was alot of new for most of you and us as a team.

Overall A++

still unsure about the overall results but:

XP Racing bounced back after early suspension failure from earlier contact that plagued the car until finally getting fixed during the 3rd driver change. The team went on to finish 12th overall and in class, completing 323 laps.

XPR Pennzoil had a strong start, and all seemed bright for the viper until some body damage cut a tire down early into the 3rd hour which then caused some intermittent suspension damage that wouldn't be fixed until the next driver change. The team would bounce back and push the car to make up for lost time. Unfortunately, the bad luck would continue with minor electrical problems that never seemed to go away. Luckily the car was able to see the checkered flag, finishing 17th in class and completeing 266 laps.

Both XPR Ferrari's had the bad-luck cloud over them all day. Both suffered electrical problems that caused them both to not start. However the cars were back on track going into the 3hr mark. Patron car put the pedal down and really started to make up time, while keeping the car clean. The Ulitmat car never seemed to get back goin, 30mins after getting back on track the car had engine fauilure which had the car in the pits for sometime. Meanwhile, the Patron car was catching its stride until the alternator failed. Fortunately, that was a quick fix and the car was back out and getting laps done. The Ultimat Ferrari was finally able to get back going but the enigine wasn't the same and eventually went south with only a few hours left and was not able to see the checkered. In the end, the Tequila Patron Ferrari was able to come home 26th in class, completing 220 laps, and the Ultimat Vodka Ferrari was placed 29th with 77 laps completed.

Again really proud of you guys and look forward to Le Mans, with all the lil demons kicked out of our garages lol
