Race results: Saturday was a 7 hour endurance race. It started in the rain and was rainy for the first 5 hours. It started to dry only for the last 2 hours.
Sahlens won with a fast lap of 2:12.6 in their Boxster.
Our team did well with the 944's finishing 2nd, 5th and the Boxster 18th. We started dead last in the field of 85 cars. (start position is determined by a random draw) The Boxster is not at a competitive pace.
I'm not sure if this is all due to the automatic or potentially sick 97,000 mile motor or gearing.

Sunday 7hours was sunny and dry. but the racing luck (bad) bit us. We started on pole (reverse order from Saturday) see pic of our cars 3 wide on the front straight at the start. At about the halfway point our sister 944 car went off in the bus stop punctured the oil pan, unknown to the driver, was loosing oil and the driver went back on the track into the carousal T5. Our Boxster was the next car thru T5 and lost it in the oil and hit the guard rail on the outside. So we have damage repair work in addition to trying to make the car faster. We will be back....
