12-Hours At Nelson Ledges
- Thread starter mgyip
- Start date
I watched the last pit stop for the 26 car and found it amusing that the crew member literally removed the driver from the vehicle in order to faciliate fueling
It's a bit tough for us to do that since both Rick and Chuck are over 6' tall but we're considering a driver "hoist" in the future 
Our last stop was for oil - the motor had a bad valve seal which lead to add'l oil consumption and we figured that since we weren't competing in USERA and since NEOhio recognized this with 2 O/A leader trophies that we'd rather save the engine. Don't worry, we'll fix that before the next re-match
You are correct that Chuck was driving at the finish - I'm not sure what we're doing for the Grand Am weekend at VIR. I'll pass along the "challenge" to Rick
All told - the 12-Hours of the Ledges was friggin WET but fun!!

I am sure that was in part due to conflicts with the WG race... At anyrate... 24 hours would be a blast!!! I wonder how many cars will/would finish?

Yep, Puskar has a real advantage with Chris being the "little" Puskar and his borthers all being built like linebackers! Chris told me once that one of his brother nearly gave him whiplash when he reached in and snatched him out of the car and "discarded" him over the tire wall!
And you are right... it was a wet weekend. I'm just glad it dried out for you all before the night segments.
Again, it was a pleasure racing with your team and we hope we get to see you as a USERA entry soon. While ITE isn't permitted in USERA, ITS, ITA, ITB and ITC are!

I was working pit/grid that weekend and in some spare moments put together this recap of the enduro:

I know there's quite a bit of the spunky benz
Did the red acura integra make much contact with you heading into 13? I can't tell that much from my own video. You folks did put on a good show for all, and I like your indiglo window number!

I'm not excatly sure who you are directing the contact question to... but I don't think the Acura made contact with the USERA SM.
King Rat Motorsports actually sells the link-up number boards! You can contact them at http://www.kingratmotorsports.com/
Nice work on the video. Can I add a link to it from the USERA web site? E-mail me at [email protected] with credits in you require a "produced by"credit.
Thanks for posting that!

RSme - nice video. I'll forward that to the rest of the RC Imports team who will certainly enjoy seeing it.
The red Integra of Colletti M/S did make contact with the Mercedes - Rick considers it a racing incident although the Integra was attempting a very aggressive pass when they hit. We suffered a broken valve stem on the LR wheel while Colletti spent a bit of time taping on the front bumper.
