Quick Update: Saturday's race we finished 4th in class. We had to deal with major damage to the car's exterior and internals and were pretty much running the race at 60% capacity/speed. Will post up a picture soon once i get it. Pretty much our exhaust pipe was hit by rocks to a point it was practically pinched and blocked significant air flow creating extreme build up = down pipe came off = heat released and melted ecu wiring = car went hay wire. The event ended up being a 1 day event due to an accident on one of the stages that lead to a death of a driver.

On Sunday, we entered in a Regional rally event since we were out there after staying up all night Saturday getting the car repaired. Our repairs were good enough to put us in the lead most of the day but the band aid couldn't hold up and the ECU pretty much said that was enough. We were towed by in = DNF.

Videos and images to hit the team site this week. We tested at the Dirtfish facility on Thursday and the car was hauling.
