[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 225937, member: 1295"] Top 10 overall (9th) Top 5 in Class B (4th) We were Top5 and 1st in Class for quite a qhile but had the Crank position sensor die on us. We had a $90 spare but it took 39min to get it changed. Dropping us back pretty good. Night crew killed it and got us all the way back to 5th overall and 2nd in Class. At Hour 22 I got back in the car for my 3rd stint. Power steering was gone, brakes were ****, and it was overheating. I did one lap before coming in to ensure my fans were working, did three more and came back in for "supposedly" missing a yellow warning flag. It was a blessing, I told the crew we need to look at this overheat issue. Pop the hood and the belts were gone, the powersteering pulley broke off. The right rear caliper had eaten through the pad and had drained most of the brake fluid out it. But never say die. We threw a new PS pump and pulley on. Repaired the caliper and headed back out. I was turning 3:00 laps when my standard was 2:25's. It cltatered like all hell was hard to keep running unless WOT which was still only 60% power we had earlier. but we took the CHECKER FLAG!!!! No kidding I was flagging people by on the parade lap because I didnt have the power to pull their idle..... Even w/ nearly 2.5 hours down we ended up 4th in Class B, and 9th overall.
