We just reached 5000 miles as a team this past week. Congrats.

A couple of things from my end:

I think the logo is pretty much complete. I am really happy with it. I thought about doing blue but could not really get a nice color to match up with the border on the page.

Richard, I sent you a message but Scott will not be at the shootout race tonight. PC problems. We have it figured out and just need to get everything together. We should have everything running by the end of the weekend. I may try to get him into a saturday night ARCA race but we will just be playing it by ear for right now.

Michael, I am going to bust my butt to be there tomorrow for the GTOpen race but I am not promising anything. There is no telling what tonight has in store for me and no telling when I will get home so I may not be able to wake up on time but I am going to try to set my alarm tonight when I get home and hope that helps.

I think that is it from my side. Good luck on your races this weekend and next week.

Today we added few more miles on the team clock. Good to see you on the track Will, I had no time for practise because I'm working weekends now and couldn't make it to the practise earlier. It was nice of you that you woke up so early.

Anyway. My best result ever. Bad news my pit strategy doesn't work again when I ran out of fuel last lap. This mistake cost me 4th place.

Good luck in tonight arca's race to both or maybe three of you.

I like the logo Will. And nice overall on that "blinking guy"

Yeah I called it an early night last night. I was feeling good so I bailed on everyone early and went home. Normally on a league bowling night I will not get home until midnight my time which puts me in the bed around 1am. The race is at 10:30am my time so sometimes it can and will be a strech to make it. However league bowling ends toward the end of May so after that it shouldn't be a problem any more.

Great run today Michael. What was the matter with your pit besides running out? On my setup I had it set to start with 33 minutes worth of fuel and then had it set to 1 pit stop and took 33 minutes of fuel. I pitted a little after the 30 minute mark and it seemed to work out pretty well.

I think it wasn't maybe in pits I took for first half 30 min
but went two lap earlier because of tires. For second half I planned 32 minutes and it worked for me before but I spinned few times which cost me spare fuel I think. Nice race anyway
