Paddock

It rained as we loaded the car on the trailer, the whole way to Toledo, as we unloaded the car, and as we sat in line for tech inpection. Lacking windows, there are now 3-4" of rainwater sloshing about in the foot wells. A senior team member remedies this problem by drilling holes in the floor so that it can escape.

Here, the car rests under the tent as we go out to "walk the track". Unfortunately, latex paint (even exterior grade) should not be exposed to a deluge within 12 hours of application. Large patches of Gulf Racing blue peel off, adding to the car's rich patina.
