Wish we could have made it up there this year. Team Cincy Slots is busy getting things in line for the Michigan Race.

Good luck to all our friends in this race!

My Minion t-shirt just doesn't have the appeal it used to.

Glad to hear you guys are planning on making it out again this year. We will be deciding the date hopefully this weekend.

One more heat to run in the dark with just the track lights. Cars are much more susceptible to damage as there are more "off's" and it sometimes takes the marshals just a bit longer to reslot the cars. Team Quebec continues to hold a commanding lead followed by Shoreline. The Quebec car is running flawlessly and their driving has been phenomenal! There's still 8+ hours of racing so anything can happen.

Great looking track!
Cool to get "updates" and pics of the action as it's happening. :)

Three (3) heats remaining - Team Quebec still way out in front followed by the Shoreline team. Both of these teams are projected to pass the total laps/distance set at last year's event. Looks like the H.O.S.T. racers from New Hampshire will round out the podium. We'll get some more pictures and video up after the event ends - unfortunately, just too crazy running around being the event host and actually racing in the event too.

Just coming up for air and brushing the silicone shavings out of my teeth! A great event for the Changing Gearz team, our first Enduro, but hopefully not our last!

Congratulations to the Team Quebec racers. Great job guys!

And a lot of thank yous to many of the teams who helped us out with our car as the race progressed; which includes all of the teams that we raced against; the Cloverleaf Team, the Shoreline Team, Team Quebec and the HOST Team. A lot of sharing of information and racing gear. We definitely needed it and we definitely appreciated it!

A special thanks to Steve and his family for hosting the event and putting up with the needs of 25+racers for 3 days!

I can only emphasize Allan's thank you expressions. Multiple racers were helpful in trouble shooting a few of our car's problems which improved handling. And, participants could not have asked for better event hosts than Steve and his family. They literally catered to any needs that we seemed to have had.

Thank you for opening your home to all of us and for hosting this spectacular event. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of it.

Congratulations to Team Quebec on a great win. The team drove flawlessly and the car ran perfectly the entire race. They didn't even need to change tires!

Here are the final results for this year. The lap difference between teams is pretty big this year, unlike last year where the racing was close throughout. But the battles on the track at each heat were tighter than the results seem to tell.

This was my 8th or 9th (I lost count a while ago) 24-hour endurance race and this has been a blast once again. Fun, good racing, great friends, new faces discovering the «joys» of not sleeping for 36 hours straight and lots of laughter. Steve and his family are superb hosts, every time. Thank you to everyone involved!

I'm proud to be part of a great racing team with my friends from Québec. We did it!
