“DonnyBrooke Dawgs” August 14-15

 LuckyDog Endurance Race at Brainerd International Raceway 8/14~15/21

Saturday 7 hour race: P3 over all, P2 in class.  Sunday 8 hour race: P8 over all?  P5 in class?  Need to check that again....  Our Sunday strategy of driving 3~5 seconds a lap slower, in order to stretch our driver stints to 1hr 55min thus having to do only three pit stops vs four pit stops didn't work as well as we hoped (despite running a nearly perfect race, no black flags, no mechanical issues, no offs or crashes, and good pit stops).  1066 race miles!






My Saturday stint while trying to conserve fuel, lots of short shifting.
