Well, we did the skid pad yesterday and it didn't go well.  Car overheated again and we finished 50th.  That tumbled us down 3 spots to a 5th in class and 35th overall.  Without car problems w...

Things went well at Pittsburg.  Track was short and it was cool so we didn't over heat.  The track was damp on the morning run so I took it easy, but I guess not as easy as other teams and I fi...

Jag overheated again today on 3rd run of the day on the last lap half way around.  It cost us dearly.  I was catching the excellent driver in the Aston Martin and boom---limp home mode.  It's ...

Well we are at the hotel and I am calming down.  We lost a couple of positions overall thanks to the overheating, but I'm really hoping it fixes itself before tomorrow.  I have never raced at V...

We just had 5 minutes ago our first big crash (we have had several minor ones).  An EVO lost it in a kink and just went through a tire wall.  Crews are with him now, and he is o.k.  It happens...

I am currently sitting in garage stall 48 at Daytona International Speedway.  Even if you don't like racing you can't help but feel the history.  I just had my fastest top speed ever---171!!! �...

Much better today just like I predicted.  NOLA Motorsports park in New Orleans is beautiful unlike the rest of  New Orleans we saw.  State of the art facilility and track.  It's about 2 3/4 m...

We are now south if Indianapolis.  Overcast and 63.  I am not happy for obvious reasons.  First two events are just not good for the big Jag.  As you can see we are getting our butt kicked. �...

We got out of Tech a few ours ago.  Of course all is well with the Jag, we had all paperwork in, and signed much more.  The event starts tomorrow at the wet skid pad, and as soon as we are fini...
