Lost N spaced finishes 2nd place.
That is now a 2nd in 2004 1st in 2005 and 2nd in 2006. Privately funded all amatuer racer team... 3 of the 4 drivers are current/former GGR TTers and AXers. 2 of the 3 drivers have been TTing/Axing for the same amount of time I have. Pretty good considering there were over 50 cars this year. Many of factory teams including 2 factory backed BMW turbo diesels. Many many professional drivers in very fast cars...but they couldn't beat a 32 year old street legal 911. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

We wouldnt need brakes or pads in a 1.7 car!!! LOL
Trek nailed it. Most well prepaired teams dont have major mechanical down time. In 04 we replaced both rear axles on the Fordahl 993RSR in less than 13min. This is a small miracle!! You have to drop the rear wheel carriers/arms... two teams of three on either side of the car. We actually practiced it knowing damn well the axles wouldnt last for 25hrs.LOL Porsche Motorsports sells "24hr" axles.. they are not kidding..LOL B |
