Default GRM teaming up with Team Honda R&D for NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill

Yep, we'll be in a Honda for the upcoming NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill. Our own J.G. Pasterjak will drive the Team Honda R&D Civic Type R hatchback at the event. We'll have updates on our Web page throughout the weekend. (We're trying to figure out how he can do updates from the car.)

Should be a fun weekend. Glad to have GRM on board.

So far the forecast looks great. I can't wait!

Should go well. As long as the team keeps JG supplied with only green M&M's, everyone involved will be golden. Look for our race updates here: http://www.grmotorsports.com/b...13332

JG has run a few of these long-distance type races, so he's pretty psyched about the whole thing. And if things get boring, he does a good stand-up comedy routine.

Mike will probably be too busy catering and being a masseur to his pro drivers to pay any attention to us.

It's true, JG has some co-drivers. (Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.) Some updates have been posted, and sounds like they're ready for a full day: http://www.grmotorsports.com/b...13332

Look for more updates throughout the evening and into tomorrow. Hope everyone has a safe race.

Bob Bradfield came close to accomplishing the feat last year. He got motion sickness in the middle of night and took a few hours off. I think he ended up doing 21 or 22 hours in the car.

Personally, I don't think anyone should be allowed to be on track for more than 3 hours stints and the stints should be separated by at least 2 hours rest.

Yeah, me, too. Well, I e-mailed JG directly and told him everyone is checking out his updates. Look for more updates throughout the evening and into tomorrow.

Looks like our car has a few mechanical issues, but at least they're not swapping engines or anything.
