The annual 13 hour at VIR was as exciting as ever with lots of action on the track and in the pits including a big wreck on the last corner of the very last lap ! Our Red 76 car was piloted by James Sejd, Craig Derian and Shane Warf whilst our blue 74 car was in the safe hands of Chris Long, Jackie Dankos and Jake Grainger.
The drivers and crew all did a fantastic job which was evident in our consistent pace setting lap times. Sadly, our 76 car went out of the event with just a couple of hours to go after suffering an off track experience. The blue car team brought the car home to take second place in class !!! Another job well done to all of our drivers for making our top ranking presence known once again !!
