We went last night for dinner and now they have little stop watches next to the items that come out quickly.

We finished the day 10th in class. Now time to rotate tires and look the car over. 
Are we there yet???

The turtles! My first w2w race was an arrive and drive with them in their little beetles at Barber, fast car and great people - I hope they're doing well!
We had to go help bring power back to Texas.
Questions: Class B or C? Should be C because of power, or B because Corolla reliability.
How are the new tires doing? Sticky, durable, cheap?

We are in class C and the tires are doing good, still look new.
It's a cold wet morning here at Barber. 
In reply to Chris Tropea :
Woof - that's not the best weather
Good luck today!
And just to clarify: The Armstrong tires had some rub and were down on pace, so we swapped back to a set of Falken RT615K+. We'll test the Armstrong tires at the FIRM when we get back and see what we really have there.
Dang. Didn't realize until now there was a live thread. Here's a couple pics.

My son is driving the white one. I was supposed to...
That car number reminds of this guy's annoying TV ads.
Call the 4's !!!! 444-4444 !!!
Cars are lined up in grid ready to go your on track. 
Green flag! 
We have moved up a spot to 9th in class and we are 55th overall. We are keeping Britt in the car till the track goes cold for quiet hour at 11 am.
The car's home brewed defroster seems to be working well, too. 
You do know the Barbasol trick for the windshield, right?
Looks like all the teams found the warm dry spot at the track.

We just had Britt come in for a fogged windshield and we put some on to see if it helps. 
During church hour, do this...all inside the windshield
Clean with Windex, wipe dry with paper towel
Apply thin layer of Barbasol, must be the foam not the gel.
Wipe down with paper towels using light pressure
Wipe down with microfiber towels using moderately firm pressure until windshield is clear.
Enjoy racing in the rain with clear vision!!
We've been doing this for years. We usually pit near HQ and wind up helping dozens of teams every time it rains.

Tom...take notes.
While the CRX does have a heater core and fan/vents, it has no a/c. So windshield fogging on a warm, wet day could be a thing.
Good job! Keeping the car running last few hours is the hard part.
Mental is there, he's part of 3 Pedal Mafia too, he knows how to do it
After a trip to Buc-ee's for lunch on quiet hour Tom is heading out on track. 
You'll need to log in to post.
