8 hours

Well, I (Johnny) just got out of the car about 45 mins ago. Brought the car in with a 5 lap lead on 2nd place. We had one full course yellow for some cars that were off. Our tires were toast and the car was all over the place. We still were able to run 2:06's with the ill handling car. Matt got in the car after me with a new set of tires. Not 15 minutes in, he lost the left rear wheel. A hub had sheered off the car! After we eventuallly got him back to the pits, we went to work on the car. We replaced the left half shaft, upright, brake caliper and rotor. Bleed the brakes, make a small chasis adjustment and we were back off in 15 minutes. Unfortunatley that put us 16 laps down and in 7th place. Matt is still running and fast. We are trying to make up a bit of time. Andrew is getting ready to step in for what will be the first rounds of double-stints. We are currently in 6th place.

Pics to come shortly, super busy, gotta run.
