Wow. We got busy

During Scott's fuel stop we noticed that our rear brake pads were gone again. We also discovered that we didn't have any spares. What we did fund was another Lexus is300 in the parking lot and talked the young owner (she was a little tipsy). Unfortunately we discovered her brakes were shot too. She did say we could keepthe car and use whatever we may need. So it's now part of our paddock space.

After all that we decided to make a set of pads from some front race pads we had. Justin and bob are busy gettin them done now.

We also lost our exhaust during this last stint, which fell off at the entry of pit lane. We called Scott in but since we didn't have the part yet we decided to send him back out to keep circulating. Meanwhile we have asked Scott to conserve both brakes and fuel. Not eAsy to do in a racecar. Luckily we got a full course caution which made everything easy, but we were running very low on fuel. So while Brian went to retrieve the exhaust we called Scott in, Johnny fueled the car and Kai hopped in the driver seat.

Kai is out there now with about 7.5 hours left...

We are in 5th place and it's 4:11 am.
