Rabbit Hole Racing

Rainy conditions won't be messing with us again!

The Endurance race this past weekend at Trackfest 2 Torque Raceway hosted by the NASCC was a wild one, with everyone on the edge of their seats at the end, and the top 4 cars separated by only 12 seconds after 8 hours of racing!
We ended up coming home second in class and third overall, though with the new drivetrain these aren't the results we aimed for. By hour 6 of the race, and Tanner, Ben, and Trey running fantastic stints, we were 2nd overall and 1st in class, and leading our nearest competitor by over a lap. The weather had its own agenda though, and the heavens opened with steady rain with 90+ minutes left in the race. At this time Wil was driving, and the windshield completely fogged over (visible in some of the pictures here). Wil managed to keep it on the black stuff with the shiny side up, but racing blind isn't easy. Eventually, Wil was overtaken by the next car in class (who had a method of defogging in their car). Sadly, with no HVAC and no defrost on the front windshield, there wasn't a lot we could do except try to race safe and finish.
With 10 minutes left in the race, and the sun beginning to peek out from the clouds, Wil mounted a charge to catch the leading competitor, catching up to 2 seconds per lap of the 10 second gap. Unfortunately turn 4 was still blind due to the direction of sunlight, and he misjudged and spun on track. Though he recovered and finished, the gap was too large to overcome.

Though we didn't get the win we'd been pushing for all weekend, this was an awesome race, awesome competition, and amazing fun for everyone who came out. The car worked perfectly all weekend beyond a couple of little issues that we've already worked out, and of course the lack of defogging (which we've already taken steps to remedy). We'll keep pushing in the remaining races!
