Tomorrow Miles and I set off for Nashville to meet up with Chris' Chump Car team for their first 24 hour race. I'm pretty excited about getting to see them in this type of endurance race. They have done a few double 7's (a 2 day event that is 7 hours/ day). So for those of you who are not familiar, Chump Car is a way for the "Average Joe" to get to wheel to wheel race on road courses (some quite famous). All of the cars in the event are $500 car (minus safety equipment.) The event this weekend is at Nashville Super Speedway. Chris' Team's car is a Ford Escort. The team name is "The Dirty Escort." Get your mind out of the gutter!!! She's named, because she's never been washed. Chris has done quite a few updates to Marie (The Dirty Escort). There have been multiple engine swaps, a turbo added, and an assortment of other smaller projects.
My and Miles' role at these events is cheering section, roach coach arrangement, and comic relief. I should have some pretty good pictures to share upon our return.
Good luck guys!!
