And the spinning Porsche is now recovered and ready to go out. 
 

Is #66, Cayman S 'Mid-Engine Crisis' still in it? I see they were DNS yesterday. They had a slide into the tire wall at Hallett, but got it put back together enough it looked like they were okay.

They're here, but I don't think they are competing. Pretty cool they patched it up for the transit, though.

Screen shot of the live feed.  #66 is going out but placed at the end of the grid (behind Sundae Cup'ers)

Where are yall getting the info?  The oloa website is only showing me 2019 results.  Maybe it's just a Mobil issue.

Awesome! waiting for the closed 'live video' to re-post so I can review.

Got it at 1:41:50 and running with the Sundaes at about 2:00:00   https://www.facebook.com/OneLapOfAmerica/videos/1261078560966818

Nice on the road repair. Left radiator frame was cracked, but radiator was good. There were some concerns about the tire rubbing in a full turn.

The rain has moved back in; this could get interesting.

Track is wetter than this morning, but the active rain seems stopped as cars grid to go out in 5 minutes. Sundae Cup cars got to drive in the hardest rain. So lucky.

Track goes hot in five minutes. TomO and SuperK are real close, so they'll be fighting hard for fastest time.

Cool that they're involved and have a set up book etc.  Kinda uncool that they're acting like this is a professional series and being so crazy about it that they asked Tom to delete a picture.  Competitive edge, for an event that just doesn't really matter other than a plaque and some bragging rights....

True but engineers aren't always extroverts or people persons. I do love HART and how they'll tell you exactly everything they are running on a car.

In my experience on One Lap the Toyota guys are also a completely open book on what they've done and tried and what has and hasn't worked. I like talking to them quite a lot.

After the morning session SuperK and Tomo are 55 points apart. You gain 5 points for every car you beat and this is the last track session of OLOA.....but, last year SuperK gained 105 points over the ZR1 during the final event of OLOA during the dry skidpad. I don't know anything about how last years Skidpad went, perhaps Tomo treated it as a drifty tire smoking victory lap but you've gotta think both teams have those results from last year in the back of their mind as they're heading out for this session.

Putnam Park AM times have been posted.  

TomO kept his lead and 5 point over SuperK who came in 2nd in that running

Randy Probst danced that SUV in the rain up to a 4th place for just that 3 laps

Big showing from Golf R with 6th and Acura TLX with 7th also in those 3 laps

Super K had a minor off during the afternoon. It will be interesting to see how that 10ish seconds affects things.

Those two finished fourth and fifth (in the opposite order) in the wet heartland park morning session.

That Acura has Clifton Ching as a driver.  When I started autox'ing in Toledo, OH in 1994 (in my '90 Miata), he was a hot shoe in a CRX SI.  Now he works (and drives) for HART.

Looks like the off for SuperK was fairly costly, they're sitting 7th in the afternoon results thus far. edit: conditions must be drying, slipped down to 20th now

Ben Schaut is a great driver and he and his dad seemed to like the Golf. Fun connection, he lived in the same college house as my wife (cross country house) when I met her.
