What a Day...

You know it's a bad day |

Well, what a day. Everything that could go wrong did. It started out with some ride height changes and shock setting changes and quickly deteriorated from there. Settings made in pit lane under the pressure of 45 minute sessions and shared pit space led to some mistakes and set backs. We were able to stay in the top 20 and then lost 4th gear in the last session, 1 hour before qualifying. No time to get that box replaced so we had to go out and qualify with no 4th gear.
Needless to say, we will take the grid with a good look of the competition in front of us. We think we have the chassis platform back under control but are still guessing on a chassis pitch issue. Hopefully, an additional 50 PSI in the front shock canisters will give us the front end support under hard braking we were missing. We have 1 more 45 minute practice in the morning and we take the green flag at 2:30. Both drivers will need to get some seat time during that practice so I hope the setup is close... I guess we'll see...
