5:45 and things are less well

Muddy called in at 5:30 low on gas in the D. Since the track was green till 6:00 we told him to stretch it as far as he could. Funny thing is he set the fast lap for the car while trying to save on gas. We were ready for a splash and go, but didn't need it in the end as he ran to the checker on the day and finished so we saved the 10 minute pit stop.

Kirsten was having a nice run in the Z but was hit by another car about ten minutes from the end. Things seemed fine, but a little later, the rear rim failed from the damage and Kirsten ended with a big off. She managed to get the car started and limped it back into the pits.

The damage is limited to a shot rim and a ton of grass in the car. We were worried about damage to the radiator and undercarriage, but everything checked out ok, so we are cleaning, new tire, and doing the bearings just in case.

The D needs new brakes, but this is the third race on the same pads, so hard to fault that.

The cars were ready by dinner, which was fabulous lamb on the grill and quite lovely.

Race starts at 9:30 tomorrow.
