Romy and Brian talk to the press after completing the first lap.
UPDATE: The team retrieved Toby, Rosh and the car at about 1:10 a.m. Sunday morning. Everyone is fine, but tired. Apparently while we were being waved around a stuck vehicle, another truck tried to pass us by driving over our rear fender (thanks!). We then got stuck in the silt and after many attempts to get out, blew a transmission. Because we could do recovery until after the main race, we couldn’t get in to get them out until after 10 p.m. The team will go in to Pit B this morning to load up the car and then head home.
It was a pretty good run, but we timed out when the course shut down at noon to prep for the main race. Romy and Brian said the course was technical, and we had an issue with the throttle (that was fixed with two zip ties), but other wise the car is running well. Toby and Rosh are on the course now and we’re waiting to hear what their status is.
