Chump Car Does Brainerd Intl. Race Way 6/4~5/11

We got nailed for 3 penality laps for not having enough "Average Internet Value" on the car.   Aparently the a 1995 VW Golf is worth more than a Miata, BMW E30, or Porsche 944! 

Saturday D.Lafavor set a blistering lap of 1min57sec, which out of all the cars at the event was one of the top 5 quickest lap times!  My stint was cut short due to a failed inner, driver side, C-V joint, we replaced it w/ a junkyard spare, and got Barry out in under 36 minutes!  He came back in on his 2nd lap w/ the EXACT SAME FAILURE!  Fortunatly we had a 2nd driver side axle!  We finished 10th that day.

Sunday, we actually led the race for two hours!  We also stayed on the podium until something like 1:00, only being 3 laps down from 1st!  I battled w/ the winning BMW E30 for something like 30 laps.  We where nose to tail the entire time, we swapped places three times, when I was behind him, I was drafting so close I couldn't see his tail lights!  Again my stint was cut short by a failed rear wheel bearing that was smoking hot!  The bearing race welded itself to the stub axle.  Again we had enough spare to get us back out on the track.  We finished 9th.
