Pics from the 25 hour of the GOTO:Racing Integra
We had some tough luck in the start. 2 mechanicals back to back had us in last place and some 20 laps down. But we battled back, and even with a 3rd mechnical the next morning, we manage to get into the top 5 in class, and to 15th overall. Here are some pics. we have hundreds more being developed, all of which will be availible later this week on our web site, along with an extensive write-up of the race.

Also, we tagged along on a photo op with PDQ and the Car and Driver Civics.

Hour 2: RF wheel bearing, Replaced front upright
Hour 3: Low oil Pressure, diagnosed oil consumption, added oil for rest of event every stop.
Hour 4: LF axle end broke at nut+wheel bearing, replace axle and nut and upright
Hour 21: LF Wheel bearing, already used the spare, slowed pace to 2:25
Hour 22: Steering rack bolts rattled loose, replace bolts
As you can see, it was an exciting event for us. The crew responded quickly to each problem, and we never spent more than 12 minutes in the pits at any one time. Still these things tend to add up quickly, and once the left bearing start going for the second time, we knew we we in trouble, having already used the spare. Oh well, it is great crew practice for next year
