24 Hrs of LeMons at CMP - We're In!!!!

Awesome video Gwen. Thanks for the time you put in to that. I really enjoyed it.

I know we're a little biased towards our car for Peoples choice...but I think I figured it out...

- Peoples choice cars have to be really weird car choices, and likely really bad race cars
- Team costumes help too. Those corporate machine corporation kids, to their credit, kept their dress shirt/tie theme thing going the entire weekend. I was a bad boy. I liked my DoriftoDogs t-shirt too much, so I didn't want to get it dirty. I should have worn it more.
- Pit space decoration helps too. I don't think that the corp mach corp kids did much for their pit space, though. In the beginning, we had a bunch of cool ideas for our pit space, but we just didn't have the time to follow through at the end.

Lessons learned, indeed.

Alas, I think Dieter looked fantastic all weekend, and major props to my team members who did most of the "dress up" work on the car (you know who you are)

Also, if you haven't looked at the Uber-gallery link that Bret posted, you need to. It's pretty funny.

Motorweek covered the CMP race - there's a few shots of our car there:

I watched Motorweek this morning and there is a perfect pass-by shot of your car at minute fourteen. I paused the frame just to point out the car to my family.

Congrats!

After very careful review I concluded that It wasn't me, the suit does look blue not red, and I only went that slow during caution laps.

I found a couple of other pics of Dieter on CMP’s website. I believe the second one is Tom during his agricultural expedition.

Not it...my helmet is black. I'm betting that might be my esteemed teammate Bernie.

Regretfully it is me, turning around after the drive off at the end of the front straight!!!! Damn caught in the act!!!That cost us a half hour.
