Testing went well. We posted the 3rd fastest time in class for the weekend. That's a pretty good result at Daytona where aerodynamics play such a big role. The 'flying brick' aero of a Mini is a serious handicap.

That all being said . . . it was really cold and the supercharged cars LIKE that. I also suspect many of the teams were 'sandbagging' so the real test will be this week. We practice and qualify on Thursday... race on Friday.

I am feeling good about the race. The test proved we can run with the fastest cars and that is a first for us at Daytona. The race strategy will be to stay out of trouble and be there to fight at the end. This race is 3 hours so lots can happen.

Last year, I was top five at the driver change at the half way mark. The second driver went off a few laps later and the clutch slave cylinder failed. It was probably damaged in the off road excursion.

This year, Owen will take the wheel at the driver change so we will have the fastest driver in for the close. My job is to stay in the hunt . . . Owen's job is to close the deal.

Sara and VJ have the same plan. So with a little luck ...

I'm heading to Florida on Tuesday. We will be at the track on Wednesday.

The Conti's and the Hoosier's are the EXACT same tire . . . just the branding has changed. Hoosier makes them under contract for Continental.

We will not be allowed to run the Hoosiers anymore so I have some tires I will unload cheap if anyone is interested.

225/45/15 . . . both rains and slicks.

Thanks Eric.

As some may have noticed, Helix has been added a team sponsor. They helped with some performance parts for the cars and it is much appreciated.
