Car #66
Christian chases the field on Lap 1. |
For the final hour, John took over. He started very nervously and came very close to crashing on his out lap and was at the head of a train of very fast cars and so found it really difficult to get into any kind of rhythm for the 1st 10-15 laps of his spell. But, once he was clear of the very busy traffic, he settled into a decent pace and although he lost a few places to faster cars, the race attrition continued and he brought the car home in 12th - an awesome result for the team.
Former BAM team member Marco Mogren passes John. Marco's team Friction Racing went on to finish 7th |
Car #67
Tommy and Fokke entered the Saturday 9:00am race. They qualified 21st in split 3 but crashed on the 1st lap. The car was too badly damaged to continue.
Fokke and Braith ran in the 19:00 race. They were in split 4 and qualified 16th. Fokke drove an excellent 1st stint, moving up to 8th before the pit stop cycle begun. Braith took over and drove steadily and maintained a good position, handing back to Fokke in 10th. Fokke pushed hard during the last hour and managed to get the car up to 7th place - a really great effort by both drivers.
After the 1st week, car #67 sits 113th in the standings. Some work to dobut at least it's on the board with a decent score.
