24 hour endurance race report

[ysar]

It will go slightly over 2 hours on one tank of fuel. It's only making 100 hp so fuel usage is minimal. I had no intention of getting near the podium so I brought 340 treadwear tires with the hope that I wouldn't have to switch. As it turned out, I used up 6 tires and 2 sets of brake pads. The first set of pads were gone at about 8.5 hours, so we had to get the second set to last about 15.5. We were metal-to-metal at the end of the race.

Indeed, Buttonwillow in the middle of a very dry February night is difficult on the eyes.

Call up Porterfield and have them cut you a set of Hawk DTC-60 pads, I can run the same set all season - only put new one on for the Runoffs because its the Runoffs - its well worth the money.

You planning to do the Runoffs at Sonoma? We are going to hit the Majors there at the end of June as a tune up for the big race.
