it’s amazing how much spending time at the salt is like the movie Groundhog Day; but without Bill Murray, so not as funny. again, up early and out to the salt to set up, watch some record runs, and get the car ready for the first run of the day.
the first run didn’t go as well as hoped but a tiny bit better than yesterday. once we got the car back to the pit the team realized a part had been installed backwards, hence the reason for the slow going. they correct the error, pack it up, go to the fuel station, and get back in line to make a second run.
we started the second run with high hopes and it looked like things were going to be in our favor until the car was just out of sight and we heard the radio announcer say, “and there is a spin-out on course one”. not the words you ever want to hear while racing…….the other words you don’t want to hear, “looks like he took out the timing tower, we’re going to have to hold the course”. whoops.
tomorrow is another day.
