According to the grapevine:

The subie is done for. Battery broke internally a bit, car started breaking up electrically, then 2 laps later... smoke. Cylinder 1 skirt was toast. New shortblock and obvious electrical problems fixed... only to find out in Pueblo, CO while checking things out road tuning that other electrical problems existed and the car was in bad shape. DNF via some bad luck.

Such is racing. Moving on...

GO JEFF AND LOREN!

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Made it through tornado alley, kicked ass at Hallett.

For all you slackers who haven't been keeping up with the event results:
WE FINISHED SECOND IN CLASS! 42nd out of 85 overall.

That is all.
