Photos from the finish

All the crews at the wall to see their cars home:
Tony climbing out:
The damage we sustained early:




Some of the dirt picked up over 17 1/2 hours of racing:



Now we're all heading home!!! Thanks for following us!!


It is over!!

The fuel lasted and we took the checkered flag! Tony did a great job in that last stint managing the pace and the fuel. We think we got 26th overall and 10th in class. A big thanks to everyone!!!!!!!

3 minutes left

With a gap of several laps either side of us now, it's just a matter of finishing now.

The other car spiins!

It looks like the other car spun while pushing to catch us, so the gap has opened up comfortably, now we just hope we have enough fuel!

20 minutes left

We've passed the aforementioned car and are now up to 26th overall but we're biting our nails because they are catching us and we're trying to conserve fuel. It will be close.

1 Hour to Go!

Tony is in the car and we're all watching him try to reel in the car in front of us. He's about 1:30 behind and making up between 3 and 5 seconds a lap. It's going to be close! We are up to 28th overall and 11th in class.

12:20 update

The car seems to be working ok, so far so good but we're all crossing our fingers. We have moved up to 30th overall.
