:thumbsup: guys!

The Vancouver team finished 20th overall (of 44 entries) and 13th in class (of 30 entries) in the crazy 24h of Daytona. If you even follow motorsports a tiny little bit you'll know what a great achievement this is.

According to their site, they raised more than $150k for Children's Hospital.

Long story short, we got up to 5th in class, then hit some oil on track, had an off, screwed up a radiator a bit. No big deal we lost a few spots, but were back out in about 20 minutes.

Then AJ Almendinger hit us in a DP, and that really messed us up.

From that point on, we had a few blown tires (on the banking, at speed, no less), and a recurring water pressure issue (as in there wasn't any).

Finished in 20th overall, 13th in class, after 632 laps, and raised just more than $150k for Children's Hospital in the process.


here are pics of the car afterwards:

Props to Darryl O'Young and team for a nice drive despite the shunt.

Don Kitch and the Team Seattle crew were also there with an RX-8, also racing for their children's hospital. They finished just one spot behind Bullet Racing in class.
