Oh, the carnage!

Something has to be wrong with the Z I am guessing contact.

Yeah.

16th :( Nice to see Nissan win ST though

15th, I think they got hit in the bus stop from what I could tell from trying to context read (very limited information) I am guessing they might have had some sort of mechanical issue (maybe a bent tie-rod) as a result.

Gearbox problems.

gearbox sounds right as his restarts looked slow.

Damn, that was a bummer. Seemed like 4th or even 3rd would of been possible if it wasn't for the mechanical issue (gearbox?). You guys were tearing **** up for most of the race, really impressive! I swear, that 61 Mustang, something seemed fishy, the dude was able to pull away from the pack way too easily.

Here's another pic I took today:

Just to clear this up. BJ told me the gearbox went out so this is more than just conjecture.

Atleast the altima team won ST though.

Yea, they did have gearbox problems but the good news is that they dynoed the top 15 cars right off of the track. So you can bet Grand-am is going to be doing some changes before COTA.

Here's a clip of the Z on the dyno. Can't really see the car since I was over at the Doran hauler at that point and the lighting sucked but you can sure as hell hear it.

Correct. BJ texted me. They lost 5th with about 30 minutes to go. I was sitting at my desk rocking, chanting....come guys. I hate it. Definitly a Top 5 finisher in my book.

Glad to see Lara with CA-Sport bring one home for the ST class. They definitly do not get the exposure that team needs.

P4 with 30 to go. The infield had really gone to crud and the bigger bore cars couldn't put th power down. Another race that just started coming back to us. Really good strategy helped as well and we were in the position with good tires and track position to run till the end.
The gear box / shifter started getting tight...and right before that caution ...it wouldn't come out of 4th gear.
Then during the caution ...it loosened up..but not in a good way.
On the restart which was ,4th gear..webt to 5th but nobody home.
It killed us on the oval.
Car is in one piece...on to Cotas

I couldn't help but notice that towards the end after your gearbox went out you went from 16th to 15th... I laughed a bit knowing that you passed someone with a busted tranny.

Glad the car and drivers are all in one piece, the setup looks promising for the coming year.

The car ahead went into the wall actually, dastaco. :(

Good luck at COTA, BJ!
