Cool 2018 AER: Road Atlanta

Congratulations to the Ionizers.

Todays 9-hour Race: P3 in Class 3. P14 overall of 51. P1-P22 at the start were in higher classes. Finished ahead of the Ferrari 458 Challenge Lots of 18 wheelers and serious cars, M235iRs, etc. First time at RA for the boys (including Ion with no practice). Overcame a broken shock top and brace support Thursday night and a torn and leaking axle boot Friday to make it to grid. Well done!

Also driving were Pobst, Skeen, and Conor Daly

Today was a heartbreaker. After getting up to P7 overall suffered a flat tire in the last stint - Pitted under yellow came out perfectly positioned to defend against what turned out to be a much faster car, slug along under a long yellow, aaaaaannnnndddddd flat tire on the first green lap. Everyone was tightly packed and so we lost several laps right there. All she wrote. Racing. Team was flawless in pit stops today so disappointing.

Kudos to FCP Euro as they get my vote for MVP both days. They finished P2 in Class 3 with a slower car. Great execution.

FCP Euro final results was a win. I misread the delta and they were able to jump the 'faster car' on that last corner while the 'faster car' was coasting to the finish! I thought they lost by .2 but they won by .2!

Also, the 'faster car' received an additional insult with a time penalty for having cut short one of the 4 required 3-minute pit stops and were bumped off the podium altogether. Didn't change our result but made for quite a celebration at the end for all the paddock rooting for the underdog FCP Euro.

Pretty exciting stuff indeed.

I'm trying to catch P1 for my entire stint, and this happens.
