What day is it?

October 26, 2009

I think it’s Monday and we just finished for the day. I’m going to try doing a post before mid night tonight to avoid all of my horrible typos and misspellings.
Today was a great day. We started out in the morning getting our grid positions and surprise, surprise, surprise, we were gridded 17th out of 110 cars based on Sunday’s results. So we did well on Sunday and it even earned us a Second in Class for the day (along with a little trophy). This morning we lined up

Ouch. But no one was hurt.

and headed out. The route took us to where we were yesterday but this time we ran the speed sections in reverse. Conrad drove and I called corners and it was a blast. We had a lot more fun being up with the big boys. The car ran great and we covered over 350km. In about one hour I’m going to head down to the drivers meeting to see if they’ll announce our times and grid positions for tomorrow. Maybe we’ll get another podium finish (first, second or third) for our class? They do a little awards ceremony every night.
On a somewhat sour note; several of our favorite cars have had accidents and won’t be coming back. One of them is the formerly gorgeous Maserati 350GT. The car is totaled as the frame is bent, but I’m sure it’ll be restored and back in action sometime in the near future. Another car we liked was the red 911 S. It lost control today and ended up on its side. Then, in order to avoid hitting it, a gorgeous, blue E-type Jag has to run itself off the road to avoid hitting the 911. Bad luck, but everyone is okay and surprisingly, spirits are still high.
That’s it for now, I’ll put up a little info before bed to let you know if we made the podium tonight or not. Wish us luck.

    Glad to hear that the race is going well, though the 350GT pic did make me cringe just a bit. Sounds like a blast though, so take lots of pics and keep the updates coming!

    Cory, curious why did the GT350 pic make you cringe?
