Default It's Been 4 Hours Since The 25 HR.Completed....

Can't believe no one's posted or said a word on this alleged "Race Forum". Guess everyone's out Christmas shopping, painting their calipers, or chosing a detail wax.

RLstr Mike Hedlund's cup team led for awhile but suffered some mechanical setbacks. They made a impressive return to the top 3 but mechanicals ended their charge with about an hour to go. I'm sure he'll post a great story when he recovers.

CJ's fastest team (he had 3) led up until the last hour finishing second in class. Congrats CJ....

Fellow So Cal NASA racer and friend Troy Lindstrom's #66 Chevy Silverado led for a good potion of the race thru the night until it was rear near daybreak by a out-of-control Miata. They came back to finish 3rd in class, 6th overall....

I'm too tired from watching 25 hours of live timing

I was rooting for the CJ "Dream Team" too, I've met 3 of the 4 drivers and they're all great kids. P2 in class, P10 overall, great result! without the ABS and fuel spill penalties.....

I WAS THERE.....................I was helping out with "Race Engineering West" in their 99 Spec Miata in E3.....things started off great....we were winning for 4.5 hours....then an intermittent cam sensor failure caused all kinds of headaches.....2 hours later we were in last place in class (28th) and everyone was bummed... The good news is the team pulled together, got back in the game and recovered to finish 14th in class and 38th overall AND managed to put down the E3 lap record of 2:03.7...over .5 second faster than everyone else!!!!

Dude, you never knock another man's girl in a public forum. If she's not your type, let it go.

Hmmm....lets think about that....he is a professional baseball pitcher who has a mega contract.....his girlfriend IS a Victoria's secret super model.... If my comments on a "public forum" offend him.....I will gladly meet him (& her) in person to discuss it I will settle for him letting me drive a stint on his 2013 25 hour team to settle things.... However he will be unhappy when my lap times are faster than his

C.J. is a person too! And a down to earth nice one! Even if he does have a nice baseball contract and a Supermodel girlfriend, he deserves some respect. Plus, he is a member here.

You have been hanging around Kibort too much.

This thread is worthless without pictures.

I mean the Silverado, not the supermodel.
How can a Silverado be so fast?

Enough of the pick up truck! Pics of the supermodel now! NOW!

I would like to see this thread moved to OT due to the stray away from racing content to supermodel content


I'm waiting!

This about sums up my 25 Hours experience this year:


We kicked the crap out of everything that was within our control and walked away from the event in one piece so I can't complain. :-)
