Nice. I will have some after I get home and go through them. They will not be that good though.

I talked to a member of the team and they said they had to rebuild the brake system and were saving the car...so they just came out sunday for the sponsors. It was nice using their empty pit all night, very hard to see around all the tents they setup pit lane like a fortress.

According to my notes:

At 6:37 pm (3h 5m), Brandon Davis (#31-GT Corvette Whelen Engineering), OP34, CP20, pits. No fuel Going
behind the wall.

Thanks for the update on the #31, we wondered why it was on the track for only a short period of time on Sunday. Do you know why that car runs so quiet? We thought it was electric, lol.

Thanks, if you were talking to me.

Cannon Digital Rebel T3. The standard lense as well as a 200mm zoom lense. I am not smart enough to use the manual settings, everything you see was either the automatic, no flash, landscape, or sports auto setting.
