Its a long race.

I'm expecting you to cross the finish line.

Car looks awesome. I Hope you all enjoy yourselves and cross the finish line, Question: what are the bumps on the headlight covers hiding?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif)

Thanks guys. Proud we could represent The World and the awesome vendors we have here.

The bubbles on the headlight housings were necessary to provide a little more clearance for the projectors protruding out of the back of the headlight buckets. Difficult to explain without taking them all apart again, but at some point I'll post pictures of how I did it. Sebring is DARK at night, so we needed a good modern headlight solution and went with HIDs.

So we're here and with 5 hours to go we're at least running! 72nd out of 96 cars! Shane, John, Joe and Marc have all been in the car and are having a blast as far as I can tell.

We had a few issues in the morning, including a rocker pivot shaft that came off due to a loose nut. Then we blew up a clutch right after getting back on track. After that we've been running non-stop though! Oil temps and pressure looks great.

So very proud of these guys and grateful to have them as my friends. Thanks for helping me achieve one of my dreams - running my own car, as slow as it is, at Sebring!

George, I'm proud that you kept after it. Losing the 1st Four Hours would have sent most people home.

Team TC did pretty good I heard!
