Border Patrol Cherokee "BPC"
We have nearly 50 hours of vid thats still getting edited up. Was sad, to watch getting flagged, and never saw the flags but they are clearly there on vid. We've got to get better looking at the corner flag stations.
Why our right front got toasted! LOL
Chasing down sports cars, this was pretty much common fodder for the Cherokee, its silly fast.
Yes thats a Porsche 911, that we literally whooped up on all weekend long.
Doing a CPS change that cost us.
Cooking towards Turn 11
Me napping on a picnic table sometime Sunday dirty :30 in the am
At one point on Sunday am, we had one driver spin out and get a black flag. The judges let us do what we wanted on it, so we opt'd to do a driver swap and get someone fresh in the seat who hadn't been up all night. Well that guy spins out the exact same spot one lap later. The reprecussions were 4 of us had to wander the paddocks wearingthis terrible pink prison bard with chain wrapped around our necks and posing for photos. Upside was the car got to keep turning laps while this when on.
Here is the trailer board on my door, we were 1st in Class at one point….
The columns are Hour, Overall Position, Class Position, Laps/Hour, Total Laps
Racemonitor shot of the end of race for Class B. 61 Laps out of 1st. Even with zero down time, I don't know that we could have taken 1st in Class.
There was this terrible accident at about 5 laps into the race. Notchback mustang cooking into turn 11 right in front of everyone, loses brakes and whips into the infield grass to try and avoid an accident and bleed speed. Unfortunately, he shot across the apex at turn 11, and collected another mustang with his ass end.
Both drivers ended up ok. but there was some lessons learned in safety and seat mounting.
Innocent
Guilty
Blue mustangs seat mount, lesson to be learned for sure…
Jump to about 3:50 to see the BPC. Eventually this SPEC Miata got past. Based on the sun, this is Sunday morning and the driver is likely Nathan one of our more consistent much more conservative drivers.

We are meeting up Saunday night to go over the BPC, shes a heep right now. Smoked PS, waterpump, motor, brakes, all bushings. And in addition to all of that repair we are acquiring another JEEP to race. So we will be a two car team, it's a Commanche that I think we are going to put a fiberglass donkey in the bed and call is "Hauling ASS"
